I've been thinking of buying it but haven't settled on anything yet.

Yes it is good. I have one but it's collecting dust as it doesn't really fit my personal use case that much. I have a PC, for gaming on the go I have a PSVita, and both satisfy most of what a steam deck could give me. The main thing a Deck would be useful for, is PC gaming while away on holiday or travelling(which admittedly I don't do loads of)

I bought it last year in anticipation for my long ass commute to university. I can confirm it is very good.

I have one and it's practically replaced my other handhelds because of how versatile it is. The only main issues are battery life and compatibility since certain games won't work but you can check ProtonDB to see whether the games you want to play are compatible.
