Mostly I only have to keep one machine updated but besides that I can play really really long game from anywhere such as RPG’s, that I used to love but I sit at work now so staying at a desk after already sitting for hours kills me, I can move seamlessly from my desk to the living room to my bed to the toilet. Also this doesn’t show the whole story, I have a ton of emulated games that wouldn’t look any better on my pc anyway and getting all the controls set up is a royal pain so this way I only have to do it once and can dock anywhere I really do hope we are going to a one pc future, the only real benefit my computer has is the graphics and you would be surprised how much those just don’t matter, heresy I know but I genuinely don’t care anymore this coming from someone who spent 1500 On a Pc with a 3080 during Covid times, I notice the difference the frame rate can suck depending on the game you’re playing but honestly I just don’t care about that as much as as the convenience. fighting with Windows is a game all in itself one I used to love but now I am a software engineer and will stay as far away from that as possible.
