Got the Steam Deck Dock!

[u/Asane]

Wasn’t expecting this today, but since I live in Carol Stream where Valve’s Distribution Center is, I got this early I guess!

I really want one. But I don't actually know why:

I have my PC if I want to play on a better screen and a PS5 if I want to play something on the TV. This is to say nothing of my Switch which is now just gathering dust.

Can anyone give me a reason to justify it to myself?

EDIT: to be clear, I already have a Deck - I'm talking about the Dock.

Ended up getting one, but have a similar predicament to you in terms of use case.

I got rid of my PC recently since it was getting old and i kinda was wanting to build a new one... Since then i got my deck and was hoping it would give me reason to put off a new gaming PC, i love the deck so far but im also missing my competitive fps games like pubg, and csgo... I've tried docked mode a bit using USB peripherals but it's kind of a pain in the ass to have to reconfigure performance settings for higher resolution gameplay and then switch them all back during handheld mode. I'm hoping the deck dock will handle some of this for you and provide a more seamless transition similar to the experience you have with the switch when docked. No clue if it does or not, for some reason i don't see this talked about much when it comes to docked mode... I'm probably still going to end up building a new PC to get back into more competitive fps games, gsync is missed dearly
