There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. - eviltoast

    If that’s all you need, a Raspberry Pi 5 will fit the bill nicely. It’s got two 4K HDMI outputs and it’s roughly on par compute-wise with a higher end Chromebook. You won’t be gaming on this thing – it can just about play a YouTube video at 4K60 – but it’ll gladly handle your desktop stuff. As a bonus it’s about an eighth the price of a Steam Deck.

      Honestly, with the Raspberry Pi 5 costing as much as it does, I’d definitely check out some mini PCs on Amazon as well. There are several in the $100-150 range that are pretty decent, and won’t require additional purchases like a case and additional storage.
