I'm surprised so many people are cross shopping tbh. I briefly considered steam deck, but specs are barely enough to play at 1080p so it's completely useless when docked and a purely portable device with a tiny screen and gamepad carries very little value to me personally.

I ended up getting eGPU enclosure for my laptop and grabbing a 1080ti from a friend that didn't need it anymore. I'm able to play D4 at 4k on medium settings.

Even if I had to buy a gpu like I was originally planning, ~$800 total to play in 4k on a 43" screen with a mouse and keyboard is a completely different experience from anything Xbox or steam deck offer.
