I'm pretty much a Xbox gamer. Rarely play PC. I'm interested in a handheld, would you go with the upcoming ally for Xbox or whatever the Lenovo one is called? I'm not very techy, just want something that's going to play games for at least the next 5 years. Something with great battery life.

You can absolutely play a Steam Deck on the couch. It's effectively the same sort of device as a Switch, just without all the Nintendo nonsense of knowing that you're supporting a company that specializes in squashing industry innovation through litigation.

You can even buy a dock that uses the USBC port as an HDMI output, if you want to play on a bigger screen, and connect your favorite Bluetooth controller.

I use a dock with my steam deck. Highly recommended. I was shocked at how seamless it was as an experience.
