I’m so close on purchasing a Steam Deck OLED to game in weekends or in bed after full 5 days behind a desk job. But I’m always worried that these games won’t work well with emulations. I’ve been researching like crazy but keep reading different things.

And spending €700 with uncertainty is not my favorite thing to do.

Haha, I am researching like crazy as well. So far I came to the conclusion that I have 3 options:

get a Steam Deck
get a Lenovo Legion Go (more power but less battery life)
wait and see what will Lenovo Legion Go 2 be like

So far I'm waiting. My current Switch isn't going anywhere, but going forward I'm not going to spend much on games there.

I really doubt switch 2 games will emulate at all or well for quite some time.

I get the money argument. In that case, get the one that does more for you now now, and save up for the other one later. You don’t need them all at once.

I waited a year before getting the first switch, and almost 2 years for a ps4. I think I waited at least a year for all the other PlayStations too save the 5.

Getting something at launch isn’t all that great- bugs, limited games, max prices, etc… a year or so later and you get bundles and deals and lots of game choices.

I don’t have a deck- but a few of my friends do and I’ve played with it a bit- it’s great and I want one at some point, but I can wait for #2 to come out and then go on sale before I dive in.
