Steam deck as a docked computer is seriously underrated. I doubt I’ll ever bother with a laptop again. I still use it portable most of the time, but the dock is awesome when I want a big screen, local multiplayer or keyboard and mouse games.
I have a steam deck an I love it, but I don’t think using it as a laptop is a good idea. Unlocking a steam deck doesn’t need a password (by default), just like Switch, GameBoy or PS Portable. If steam deck is lost, sensitive personal data can be accessed easily. Besides, I’d expect a higher risk of losing a steam deck, as I’d been playing it on various places like metro or train stations.
If you never take your steam deck out of your home, then it sounds sensible to use SD as a laptop
By default, all windows/mac/linux laptops will ask users to set up a password for log-in. This is not sufficient, but much better than password-less unlock

I figure if you’re the type to use it for sensitive info, you’re also the type to put a password on it.
Windows also doesn’t require a password on account so how’s that any better than steam deck?
I’m sorry that I don’t understand it.
