Much like the author, I'm also really loving the Steam Deck as someone who casually plays a game or two. It really is like a more powerful Switch with the option for much more, and cheaper, games.

What I'm missing in many reviews that is gladly mentioned here is the ability to use the right trackpad as a mouse. I've also played many older games in handheld, like Impossible Creatures, which are pretty much impossible if you aren't emulating a mouse. The Steam Deck delivers in this sense, which very few competing manufacturers seem to realise.

As happy as the author is with the sleep & wake functionality however, as someone who only wakes the Steam Deck once every three days or so, it is unfortunately pretty common to wake my Steam Deck to an almost empty battery.
