    Should I get this? I wonder if I'll even use it much. Definitely a vanity buy.

    The bad: Windows 11 despite it having no keyboard, a battery that probably sucks beyond belief, and it would set me back nearly $500 for a used one. I also probably would have no idea how to set up ps3 emulation let alone where to get the roms.

    The good: I could always use a mouse w it? So it would be a laptop basically. I could always use it to play MtG Arena and might actually be worthwhile just for that if all else fails. Maybe even dabble in other mouse games like C&C4 and, what was it.. Frostpunk?

    Plus I haven't owned a steam deck or any handheld pc, so if I get this then at least then I'd have a better idea of what they are like and their pros/cons. I'd have lived a full life. =P

      Editing … yeah.. it's called Frostpunk. But the game seems like it would be unplayable on a small screen. That tiny text yo. What the hell.

      Editing … Do you want us to talk you into buying it or talk you out of it?

      Editing … It's an awful idea to buy it. Imagine trying to install steam and buy a game w/o a keyoard or mouse plugged in. All just to be able to play it for 50 minutes before the battery runs out. ALSO. I just remembered that MtG Arena uses the space bar. (although maybe it shouldn't. I need to check the game settings and see if there's a way to map it to mouse right click or something. Bc what happens constantly is I finish my turn and fold my left arm only to have to undo it two seconds later bc my opponent does something. Why did I not think of changing the controls?)

      Editing … If I knew for a fact it could run need for speed prostreet via rpcs3.. then I would reconsider. I see videos of folk emulating ps3 on the ally and the steam deck, and testing various games, but none with Prostreet. And these videos point out that some games don't work entirely.
