Have you ever been torn between a handheld and a gaming PC? After some soul-searching, you may have realized that you've always preferred a handheld. Here's why!
1. Play new releases on console
While gaming habits may be changing, many people still stick with consoles, which is one of the main reasons why many people are hesitant to invest in a gaming PC in the first place.
They're always tied to new releases and don't mind if they're playing a "lesser" version than the PC version. Sure, playing at max graphics settings sounds great, but many people aren't interested in pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity anyway.
When a new game comes out, you can rest assured that your PS5 will be fine until the next-gen console hits shelves.
2. Easily supported game library
Many people decide to go with the Steam Deck. However, the ROG Ally is very appealing. There's no denying that both devices have the hardware to run their game libraries flawlessly.
Gaming PCs are typically pre-built computers that are meant to do a lot of things. Having a pre-built PC isn't a big deal, but if your Steam and GOG libraries are all about old games, then buying an $800 gaming PC to play a semi-classic library is a waste of money, both hardware and software-wise.
3. Opportunity to disconnect from work
You don't realize how much using your gaming PC as a workstation will affect you. When you sit in front of your computer and try to play a game, it's surprisingly difficult to relax when the line between gaming and work is so thin.
A handheld device like the Steam Deck gives you access to your PC games anywhere in the house. In fact, you can keep handheld devices like the 3DS and Switch close by to relax before bed. So, despite the disadvantages of handhelds, many people still prefer this console format when relaxing.
4. Building a gaming PC is expensive
Have you seen the price of a good graphics card? They cost as much or more than the price of a Steam Deck, and that’s just a fraction of what you’ll need for a gaming PC. You still need a motherboard, storage, case, RAM, power supply, mouse, keyboard, monitor, processor, and probably a copy of Windows.
Some parts are cheap, like cases and RAM sticks, but they also add up quickly. Before long, you’ll be over budget and looking to cut corners or wait for a particular part to go on sale, if it ever comes back. If you don’t have the patience for either of those things, opt for a handheld to avoid the hassle.
For a short time, many people believed that console gaming was better than PC gaming. However, after they returned to the world of mouse and keyboard, consoles were left behind.
Instead of choosing to just go for a PC or a gaming console, here's why owning both for gaming will give you the best value!
