contemplating alternative setup

a year ago by viral.vegabond to c/battlestations

Here is my current setup. My laptop is an incredible gaming device but I'm kind of hung up on the fact that I don't much enjoy gaming at my desk. I much prefer to game in a lounging position where I can put my feet up. Because of this, I'm considering splitting my priorities for gaming and browsing into separate devices.

I'm thinking that a mini pc might be a good option for my desk setup. I would use it mostly for browsing, some light server needs, and (possibly?) some light modeling/design work using freecad (for 3d printing shenanigans). I've been eyeballing the minisforum um790 pro or something similar.

My gaming needs would likely be outsourced to a handheld pc. I'm pretty set on getting a onexfly and loading it up with bazzite. I know they're expensive, but the form factor and hardware capability really has me sold on this one. I know it would handle everything I wanted to play on it, and more. I've even been wondering if it would be a good daily driver with a dock or something and just omit the mini pc idea altogether.

Thanks, it is pleasant enough for now. I do like my desk lamp that I have, though eventually I would like to get some proper bias lighting/monitor backlighting.

Your missing a foot hammock, it's great for watching YouTube

Thanks, that option also occurred to me. I don't think I'd be satisfied with it in the long run, but I will keep it in mind though.
