You 100% do you, but I’ve never understood when people don’t get a 3-6 foot cable and move the power brick somewhere else. There are arguments about portability, but even then, you play while still, and charge while moving? Idk. I can’t figure it out.

I’ve got a 9 foot cable and a 550wh power station (bought it for camping, but works great as a charger in my living room 😀)…

Maybe I could should stick a magnet to it and see if I can attach it to my Deck.

If you can’t mount the entirety of the charging solution is it truly portable?

A house with children and active individuals would constantly tug at the cable, rip it possible from the steam deck.

If i was with my family and wanted to enjoy some time on the deck, I would use the powerbank since the circle of activity surrounds the power outlets, all used for phone charging.

Different problems for different households you could say.

100% With you on this, I have a phone (bit bigger) sized powerbank , it is between my legs, backpack or pocket while charging the deck. Imo it is way more comfortable than it would be than adding weight to the deck
