A lot, but I think the people that get the most use are husbands and dads. For example my wife likes to hang out upstairs and not feel so disconnected so we can talk still. Steam deck is great for this and progressing single player games.

I had an itch for something more powerful but I'm actually pretty content with my oled SD. I was tempted by the lego2 but not for 3k lol. I'll just make do with pc streaming until the SD 2 launches, even if that is a few years. I trust ol valve they've done right by me

Another USB C port would be awesome. And better hardware of course, so I can also play new AAA games. And not really related to the deck it self but the steam shop kinda sucks on the deck.
