I'm looking to be traveling for work training in the next few months and outside of some sightseeing of zoos, aquariums, and museums, I am going to get bored in a hotel room with my kindle if everything is closed by the time I get out of class which might be likely.

Any recommended accessories?

A nice sized memory card, and a power bank to charge it when you're away from an outlet.

I dont really travel and it still became my main gaming device tbh. I dont actually like sitting down at my desk to play PC games, and I havent even bothered getting a modern console besides the Switch. But I also dont play the newest AAA games or anything, so your mileage may vary in what you get out of it. I just find it very comfortable to play.

It's fantastic to have a huge number of games on the go, most of which I never thought would be possible, but battery life is pretty bad compared to the PSP, Vita, 3DS or Switch. Depends which game but some drain it in like 2 hours.

Honestly, it's the best buy for traveling. Just get a power bank and emudeck and you will be gaming forever. Honestly, playing ps/2/3/xbox/switch/etc, on the go in one system is so amazing.

I heard there was some way to stream your Playstation consoles on Deck. Haven't tried it, but apparently it works pretty well (and probably isn't surprising, given the PS Portal does that, too). Dunno if Xbox stuff works on it, but wouldn't doubt it.

I think it's a good purchase. You can play games from other platforms on it too.
