By now, everyone knows that a Steam Deck isn’t just a console. It’s an amazing handheld computer with great performance. So, it could come in handy in various situations. Steam Deck users gladly shared how this device helped them out.
Using Steam Deck for Scientific Work Isn’t Unheard of
One devoted Steam Deck user, Versurl, actually used a Steam Deck to write a thesis on Biochemistry. Not only that, but this user cited Steam Deck on the list of the equipment they used. They noted: “I cited Valve in my biochemistry thesis, and it got approved with the highest grade! It was fully written using the Steam Deck, and all the graphs and statistical analyses were done on it too”.
Many other community members congratulated the OP. And, some Steam Deck users even stated they used their device for writing scientific papers and other interesting jobs. One user, preflex, noted: “I’m running my recording studio off of my Steam Deck because it’s quiet”.
Your Device Could Be Helpful in Plenty of Situations
Of course, a Steam Deck might come in handy for things other than scientific work and gaming. It could come in handy if you find yourself stranded in an airport without any documents. It happens more often than you’d think.
KamonAnderson shared their experience: “One time I had my phone and wallet stolen while I was on a travel trip I had my Steam Deck with me and was the only thing I had. I couldn’t get on my flight without my boarding pass, but thank the gods I thought about going to the website on my Steam Deck. I used my SD for my boarding pass and was able to get home instead of having to pay for another flight”.
So, the next time something unfortunate like this happens to you, remember to try getting the information you need on your device. So, it’s quite useful to have it around, and you can always use it for taking a break.
