Ok so i hope you didnt just randomly click on this but, I cancelled my Steam Deck order over anxiety of it being bad and hard to refund
(Most of you will be angry but) With the money i'll be putting it towards the Macbook Air (The M1 one) in Space Grey
Sure i know ill get messages which is mostly like "Why are you buying a macbook isn't it underpowered?" but the M1 Chip in the Air is Fast, Like Really Fast and the M1 MBA released in 2020 so theres a ton of reviews on the MBA, While the Steam Deck hasn't even been released yet
Ending this here with just this
I might get the Deck in 1-2 years if its any better than its release early this year (The Release Date has been announced just now)
Edit: I'm using the MBA as a Programming and Social machine
This is my first Mac so yeah I might try gaming but like Half-Life or some smaller and lighter games

Just for Development and Social related stuff
(Also the M1 MBA can run CSGO well)
Still, thinking of using a hand held console as a development and social media computer... Too much free time?
EDIT:
I mean real men plays with controllers anyway. You think you can get true skill by mouse and keyboards? Please.
They'll never replace the power and task-diversity of a proper computer, but it's good to see Apple actually making something worthwhile again, and even pricing it quite reasonably!
Are you like rendering a video in 4K/8K?
The speed falloff as temperatures rise is consistent across all 6 MBPs that we use.
I do have 2 laptops but both are just testing rigs for Operating Systems (One is really old like late 2013 and one has a dying fan that im too lazy to fix)
So hopefully a macbook would fit perfectly into my arsenal of tech products
