Looking to pick up a new Steam Deck dock? Sabrent’s high-end dock might be the key to turning your handheld into a bona-fide desktop juggernaut.

Valve’s Steam Deck is full of different use cases, from playing games anywhere to even winning hackathons or being used to control robots. But, Sabrent’s Steam Deck dock might be one of the most feature-rich desktop docks out there right now.

It might be a touch more expensive than your run-of-the-mill dock, but it also supports a wealth of features like space for a 2280 m.2 NVMe to enhance storage, as well as offering all the ports you might need to support a full desk setup.

Can you use the Steam Deck like a normal PC?

You can use the Steam Deck like an ordinary desktop setup by hooking the device up to a dock that allows it to connect to your display, in addition to giving you more space to plug in peripherals like a mouse, keyboard, and dedicated ethernet jack. Luckily, thanks to the Steam Deck’s desktop mode, you get all of that functionality within a few clicks.

We’d even say that using the Steam Deck like this is an attractive alternative for those looking to get into PC gaming without breaking the bank by purchasing the newest graphics cards and CPUs.

Sabrent’s option here also allows for support with the Asus ROG Ally, or other handhelds that might sport a capable enough USB-C port at the top. So long as the device you’re looking at supports DisplayPort Alternate mode, you should be good to go. Thanks to an additional USB PD connector, you can also charge while docked, and give enough juice to all the peripherals you’ll end up connecting to the dock itself.

There are loads of options out there, but when it comes to clean design and pure functionality, Sabrent is really tough to beat here.
