I am just kind of curious

So the picture is a steam deck spec's if u are curious. So I been thinking about getting something so I can play games like spiderman and cyberpunk and horizon 1 and 2 and red dead redemption 2. My friend she has a steam deck and she tells me it is a good little system but it is under power. Like horizon forbidden West she has to lower the graphics a lot to get the game to play well. i kind of like those tiny PCs they are small and won't take up a lot of room. If I got one and upgraded the ram to like 32 or 64 would it play a lot better. She is all was complaining about the storage with her steam deck. I would upgrade that also.

The Steam Deck is a neat little system—great for portability—but your friend isn’t wrong: it’s underpowered for more graphically intense games unless you’re willing to make some visual sacrifices. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Forbidden West are beasts, and while you can get them to run on the Deck with lowered settings and mods, you won’t be getting the full experience.
If you can get something with a dedicated GPU (like an RTX 4060 or better), and then bump up the RAM to 32GB or even 64GB, you're looking at a compact setup that can handle Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk on high or ultra settings—no problem. Plus, internal storage upgrades are easier and cheaper than what you’d deal with on the Deck.

A gaming PC would be way better. This is my setup currently.
