VALVE Steam Deck 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM, 7 inch, SteamOS 3.0, Handheld Gaming Console

The Steam Deck I just bought is great. The price is fair and reasonable compared to the last year scalpers price, but I caught this at a discount so it wasn't much more than regular. Outside of that, it's a brand new system and works flawless out of the box. This little thing is the best thing ever for gaming and gaming on the go. PLEASE set aside extra money to buy storage. You WILL need it. But it really surprised me how cool this thing is! it has really nice quality and it works fast enough, you can buy steam games on this and it's like actually having a computer in your hands! I finished installing dual boot operating systems so I can play Steam games on Steam OS then shift to Windows 11 OS to play non Steam games. The dual boot is working flawlessly and without any issues.

Awesome product it works and it’s sealed brand new

The Steam Deck is a great way to play PC games on the go. It performs really well, with smooth gameplay and a responsive control setup. The screen is sharp, and the battery life holds up for decent playtime. It’s a bit bulky, but it’s worth it for the power and flexibility it offers. Overall, a solid choice for portable gaming.

UPDATE 25/7/23 Decided not to return the Deck as I wanted to get back to tweaking and poking around. Some things buyers should note 1. Steam doesn’t have all the latest games as many studios are offering them through their own game stores/launchers - typically Origin, EA, Epic (no Fortnite), Blizzard (no Diablo 4), etc. 2. Lots of tutorials online to show you how to add 3rd party stores/launchers/emulators to your Deck so you have a wider range of games to play on the Deck - e.g. Lutien, Heroic apps 3. Just because Valve marks a game as Deck Verified doesn’t mean it plays well on the Deck, at least not at max graphics performance. This is still a handheld console. Learn to use ProtonDB (web site) to see what works and what settings are recommended 4. Plug-ins can help with the overall ownership experience - I recommend Decky Loader. Doesn’t require root access nor sideloading. 5. While it sucks to have to pay for a game you already own on a different platform (e.g Xbox / PS - in my case, I have Horizon Zero Dawn on my PS5), some older AAA games have discounts from time to time. 6. You might want to consider buying a USB-C hub, keyboard (wired is recommended), mouse (wired or 2.4Ghz, not Bluetooth) if you plan to tinker (and you should, in order to get the most out of Deck - if you’re expecting to use it as-is out of the box, you’ll be quite disappointed). Connect the hub, keyboard and mouse to a TV or monitor using HDMI allows you to run the Deck like a PC, and you can pretty much play PC games on Steam as you do with your regular laptop/desktop - performance limitations still apply 7. Fast charging only needs 45W, so don’t go crazy getting a high-wattage charger. I recommend the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 45W charger with bundled 30W wired charger if you want a portable power bank, or the Ugreen 100W GaN charger which will allow you fast charge the Deck, a tablet and a phone simultaneously. **** Overall, hardware is impressive, but within hour, I realized that many of my favorite games will require extensive tinkering to play on the Deck - Diablo isn’t available (Battke.net side load required), Horizon (Zero Dawn is old but available and frame rates aren’t great; Forbidden West isn’t on Deck), PGA Tour 2K23 isn’t verified (keyboard tinkering needed), Fallout (older ones available but not really compatible with Deck), Mechwarrior 5 (not Deck verified/ fully compatible) Tons of indie games but I’m really not into them. Great value if you’re looking for a gaming handheld and have time inclination to tinker in Linux

Best handheld gaming device ever and it’s reasonably priced. The Only thing negative is the limited SSD storage, these days 512 GB is barely enough for 3 or 4 AAA games, I have added 512 external SD card to store other non resource intensive games and emulation.l, SD cards are so cheap so it’s not an issue Upgrading of internal SSD to 2 TB is costly ~1400 dhs Away from this issue, the device is fantastic

Received mine couple days ago, tried alot of AAA games from steam and non-steam, emulators and i can say steam deck can be the best portable gaming device for now, SteamOs make it perfect and the way you can switch to desktop mode, and how can u make alot out of it. Definitely worth it.

Just like the other review said, looks like the seller hoarded early stock and is now selling them at a lower price. These units have the old noisy delta fan and are not new units.

I bought the 500 gb one and it’s perfect, it has all my pc games on portable handheld and most of the games work perfectly, the things I recommend getting is: 1: Portable Fan (Preferably JSAUX) 2: Screen Protector ( Don’t want any scratches do ya) 3: Bigger Case (I’m talking HUGE) 4: 500 GB/ 1 TB Sd card ( Storage runs up fast) 5: JoyCon Grips ( Normal Ones Are a bit Slippery) Besides that this is perfect for playing games in the car, on the train, on an airplane, and many more. 10/10 Would Recommend! (Don’t Worry About Heating, It’s supposed to do that)
