Before you start making plans to evict your current rig, I want to explain how the Steam Hardware Survey actually works. Rather than representing every player that uses the storefront, the monthly census instead uses a small percentage of participants who’ve opted in as a sample. It’s anything but representative of all 154 million active users, meaning the statistic above isn’t an absolute.
Does the author know how *survey sample sizes work?
Do I?
Is it because it’s opt in or opt out?
I have a buddy that literally just had coffee spilled on his old gaming laptop. He mostly used it for some older games, like Skyrim was the newest. And he does a lot of urban camping and stuff like that.
The Steam Deck is a perfect replacement for his use case. Just waiting for another sale since he just missed this recent one.
He can put music and movies on it too, for camping.
