I wish i could've preordered it, but i still don't have a proper job, maybe next year.

I'm not a Steam user but my younger family members are. I was going to get them one but they already ordered one. I have a good setup going with my native library and emulators on my phone with a gamepad.

Moved to the new Steam Deck category.

Quoting: Liam DaweMoved to the new Steam Deck category.

I'm interested in the Deck, but I'm waiting for reports from early adopters before I'll decide if I want to buy it. If anything, it'll make for a nice second PC.

Preordered on the 17th July last year.. patiently waiting...

I don't preorder anything, but I'm closely watching the release.

I reserved one the first day it was available. I've been waiting for just the occasion to potentially replace my gaming tower (old Dell OptiPlex 7010 with GTX970, about a decade old and has gone through 2 motherboard replacements in that time). Looking forward to having a gaming tower (replacement) that I can pick up and take with me anywhere :D

I'm especially looking forward to seeing what docks become available, as well as how well the deck will work if I'm primarily using a PS5 controller.

I'll likely repurpose my gaming tower to be the primary device connected to my projector and surround sound speakers (aka my cheap DIY at-home movie theater).

I also reserved one last year and I'm exited for the dock. It's probably going to replace my XBox and my (already dead) HTPC.

It is not a pre-order. It is a reservation.
