I am interested in steamdeck but I have heard that it is really heavy if you are holding it for many hours. (kbin.social)

Does this console worth it? Also how hot does it get in the summer if you are doing demanding things without AC?

I've found that the ergonomics of Deck really help to make it feel lighter than it actually is. I've happily held mine for ~45 minutes at a time with my elbows resting on my chair arms. As another commenter mentioned, it's worth keeping an eye on your posture (I'm definitely really bad with this - leaning over playing my Switch, Deck or reading a book)!

I think the main limiting factor here is battery life. But nowadays I'm never that far from a plug point or battery bank to be fair.
