"When Valve released the Steam Deck, it reset expectations for what portable PC gaming could look like. I mean, they did just copy Nintendo's homework with the Switch design, but that misses the bigger point. The Steam Deck didn't ask players to rebuild their libraries or buy special versions of games. Gamers can take their existing Steam collections on the road. That single decision helped create an entirely new class of hardware: handheld gaming PCs."
"As impressive as the Steam Deck is in handheld form, its screen can feel limiting in certain situations. A 7.4-inch display works great on a commute or during travel, but it doesn't always suit relaxed couch gaming. Sometimes you want to stretch out and play on a large television, the same way consoles have done for years. Thanks to docking solutions, the Steam Deck can handle that role with ease."
"Once connected, the Steam Deck can output to an external display at up to 4K resolution and 60Hz over its HDMI port, a major step up from its native 1280 × 800 handheld resolution. That extra clarity makes a noticeable difference on large TVs and monitors. The dock also works with other devices, including other handheld PCs like the ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, and even tablets such as the iPad."
Valve's Steam Deck allowed players to use existing Steam libraries on a handheld, creating a new class of handheld gaming PCs. Its 7.4-inch 1280×800 display suits commuting and travel but can feel limiting for relaxed couch play. Docking solutions enable TV or monitor play, offering up to 4K resolution at 60Hz via HDMI. Anker's dock is discounted from $33 to $30 and supports other handheld PCs and tablets. The dock provides up to 100W USB-C Power Delivery to charge the Deck while connected and includes multiple USB-A and USB-C ports for wired peripherals.
