Would this be worth it next to a PS5 and Series S?

I’m wondering if 1) I could buy games cheaper on PC, and 2) play this while traveling (which I do a lot, meaning weekly flights and hotel stays in other countries for work),

I mean not really. You’re gonna have to double buy games if you want to play on the big screen and handheld.

I have a PS5 and was looking at remote play devices. This OLED steam deck seems like a pretty ideal candidate, in my opinion. 720p is kind of a downer, but I think an OLED deck would make up for it in other ways.

By “buy games cheaper” do you mean compared to their console versions, or utilizing steam sales and/or shady key sites? For the former: no, not usually. The latter: yes, definitely.

And it’s an amazing travel device. Used it for most of its first year while I was in hotel rooms for work and I used it more than my laptop when playing games where controllers are fine
