Hello,
I've been looking for a way to play my Steam games in a portable, most preferably, handheld format. The Steam Deck seems to me like the best solution for this, but of course, the price is pretty steep. I've heard of the Logitech G handheld with the cloud gaming, but it is just $50 less than the Steam Deck, so I think, why not just get the Steam Deck? Lol. If there is something about the Logitech G I may not know, I am open to any input by the way!
Then, I've looked at streaming services to perhaps stream from my laptop or desktop, onto a tablet, or my phone. But, that sounds like a hassle and a lot of trouble just for a gaming session. Plus, I cannot find much information about whether or not you can close your laptop lid, put your PC to sleep while streaming, shut the monitor off and so on. It seems like it could burn your computer out or ruin the monitor if it isn't being used. It would be great to put your laptop or desktop to sleep remotely even after you play as well. Do any of these services like Moonlight, Steam Link, etc. Let you close the lid on your laptop or turn off your monitor while playing? And also let's you do this remotely like wake and sleep?
There was a service, Shadow PC, where you don't use your own PC at all, it is in the cloud, and you can stream to any device. That is one I am most interested in. Do any of you use or have used Shadow? What do you think?
Anyways, I have been trying to figure this out for a long time now. So, anything you guys could offer, advice and so on, would be appreciated! Thank you.
