@dps910 My wife uses it daily docked. I use it when I'm out of town for the weekend handheld.

@snacks @dps910 i don't use it much cat_sad

usually docked because i don't go out much and its heavy. holding it for very long is not very comfy.

@dps910 only handheld, it's not powerful enough to play any serious games in a modern tv

@zhulik is good for indie games tho, u can play them on a TV. Also emulation is good and u can use fsr and frame generation to make games run better neocat

@icedquinn @snacks yeah, I also find it a bit annoying to hold unless I'm leaning it against my desk or something but then I may as well play it on my monitor lol

@snacks @dps910 in theory a repair shop could fix it but i haven't looked in to that part. screens are usually separate parts with a display cable internally and not one of the hard soldered parts, but that only helps so much

@dps910 not my case, i don't play indie nor use emulators. Any relatively new AAA game hardly reaches 30fps handheld and is nearly unplayable when docked not to mention horrible picture when upscaling from 720p to 4k

@zhulik yea. better to use console for newer games or a gaming pc, since it will perform better :p

@dps910 docked for couch coop games, handheld for solo stuff. So 50/50 really.

@dps910 Mostly handheld. The dock I have is nice, but things get a little wonky sometimes when I disconnect it. But things might change when the new Steam controller releases. I love those little track pads.

@dps910 handheld, mostly. I like to sit on the couch and not feel like I'm monopolizing the whole living room by taking over the TV
