    So like the Windows tablet I made the mistake of buying years ago. “it’s not a tablet, it’s a laptop with a lousy screen and an entirely non-existing keyboard”.

    Buying that was a huge mistake.

      Oh ho ho, no.

      The Steam Deck doesn’t use Windows, it is much more functional and stable, hahahah.

      I am laughing about this because I was working at MSFT when Win8 was being developed/released and their whole tablet push was going on.

      Dear god no, the steam deck is way, way less clumsy and broken to use than a Windows Surface was, oh god.

      Ironically, I’ve vaguely followed the same path as GabeN: Used to work for MSFT, now I “secretly,” utterly despise them.

      … Yes, I agree, the Win8 UI paradigm and the Surface were indeed massive mistakes.

      I vocalized this, at the time, when I was a MSFT contractor, and that is a big reason why I don’t work at MSFT any more, rofl.

      The Steam Deck is far, far easier to use than a Surface or Surface Pro.
