Hot take: Yes, but why would you? It's like buying a sports car and using it only to drive to the grocery store. The Steam Deck shines as a gaming device, not as a desktop replacement.

Yep, can confirm. I've used my Steam Deck to jot down notes and do some light browsing. It's not replacing my laptop anytime soon, but it's pretty cool how versatile this little machine is.

Absolutely! The Steam Deck is essentially a fully-fledged handheld PC. You can install Windows on it, run various software, and even browse the web or use it for work. Just remember, it's optimized for gaming, so while you can do a lot of PC tasks, its primary function is to play games from your Steam library.
