Hey all! I'm in the market for a mini PC that can handle gaming similarly to the Steam Deck. My husband and I both have a budget of about $500 each, and while we enjoyed the Steam Deck for a time, I found it limiting, especially with games outside of Steam Linux. We primarily play titles like Once Human, It Takes Two, Split Fiction, State of Decay 2, and Fortnite, though we'd love to find something that can also manage games like Red Dead and GTA. I'm considering the Beelink SER9, but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

You should definitely check out mini PCs with the AMD 7840HS CPU; they're pretty powerful! I got a GMKtec K6 from Aliexpress, and it performs way better than my Steam Deck. Just make sure to install some good software on it.

Sounds awesome! I’m looking into that model now, thanks for the tip!
