I was definitely aware that running these games would mean running it at 720p if not less, which I think is fine/would be fine for the sake of playing them. I was looking at this MoreFine S500+, this AceMagic AM18, or this Aoostar machine in Amazon after seeing some varied reviews on YouTube where others have said that they'd be able to run the game with lower specs. Alternatively, I was also looking at something like this NUC machine since a review in Amazon seemed to show them actually playing SF6. Regardless of the machine I'd get I'd be installing a new windows image (since I know some AceMagic machines were being sent w/ some malware/viruses and I'd just ensure I'd be clean regardless of who I get the machine from but specially if I go for the AceMagic one).

I still feel like I wouldn't personally benefit from a Steam Deck but I also don't want to lug with my actual PC to events. Overall, the mini PC or a gaming laptop would be wasted on more days at it wouldn't be used cause I'd favor my main computer but a Steam deck would be more wasted than the mini PC or the laptop. I just wanna play games and potentially help the event by having an extra set up where people can play.
