It is honestly the best “pick up and play” platform. I love how everything just pauses when you lock the screen.

Steam Deck (so technically PC).
I can lay down on the couch while my SO watches some series I am not interested in but depending on the game, I can still follow the general story so we can discuss and react to things together. Enabled me to finally do some more gaming (~1 hour per evening) again (compared to a few hour per month previously).

I’ve got some young kids and the Steam Deck makes it a lot easier to take them places and keep myself (or them) entertained. It also means I can get some game time in while they watch their shows.
Best part was taking it in vacation, plugging it into a TV, and using it like a console we all play together. It felt like I was sitting on the floor playing N64 with my siblings again lol.
I’ve loved having this thing. I still do more gaming on my PC but I’m glad I bought it.

Glad to hear thay! Can you give some examples of the games you played with the kids? I'm trying to find titles like that

The kids really like the beat em ups like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Streets of Rage. They also like Wobbly Life and Wobbledogs (though you will probably want a mouse for that one). N+ was a hit too.
Of course I’ve got some emulated stuff too and you can’t go wrong with Super Mario World, Golden Axe, or Gauntlet Legends.
