Steam Deck

Anyone here getting it?
https://store.steampowered.com/steamdeck
I reserved it for $5, but not sure yet.
It is a portable PC. a legit PC in a Nintendo Switch type package.
I am thinking if it will run OOTP, Emulation Station, use VLC and Plex, I will be pretty happy.
And all of those should run on Linux just fine. And OOTP runs on Steam now, so it should run on the Steam Deck without a problem.
The screen may be small for OOTP, but you can dock the Deck using any USB-C Hub so I can hook it to a monitor at work and run OOTP right on it. No more need for TeamViewer.
Then you can play the majority of Steam games on it.
Anyone else plan on getting one and using it for anything?
