Can you connect a Steam Deck to a laptop?
As a proud owner of a Steam Deck, I tried to do just this. Found out you can't directly connect it to a laptop to use the laptop's screen. BUT, you can stream your Steam Deck games to your laptop using Steam Remote Play. Works like a charm for me!

Nope, you can't just plug in a Steam Deck to a laptop and expect it to work like a console or an external hard drive. They're like two peas in separate pods; they do their own thing.
Technically, you can't connect a Steam Deck directly to a laptop to use the laptop as a monitor or for direct file transfers via a simple cable connection. The Steam Deck is designed to work as a standalone portable gaming PC, not as an external device for another computer. However, you can use remote play or streaming applications to stream games from your Steam Deck to your laptop, which requires both devices to be connected to the same network.
