I spend a night or two every week in a hotel for work. The Deck has been clutch as a distraction while working out on a stationary bike, or while relaxing in my room and being able to play games without lugging around an entire gaming PC. At home I use it to stream from my PC so I can spend time on the couch with my wife and dogs. I've also used it on planes and car trips with great success.

I've been using mine for gaming in bed, and playing games online with people in the same room. I've always been a fan of split screen, but lots of games now have that missing. Having all four of us in the room playing games on our own personal screen is great, and it's a lot easier to bring around and more affordable than a laptop.
I had wanted a Deck for a long while and finally used this sale as my excuse to go for one. I figure it’ll be nice for being able to play games while lying in bed or on the couch since I spend enough time sitting at a desk most days for work and don’t really want to spend the evening also sitting ay a desk. Also arrived at the perfect time yesterday, so I was able to change out the SSD and get everything reinstalled before a leg surgery today that 100% means I won’t be able to comfortably sit at my computer for the next two weeks at least.
