Why is there a reservation fee?
The main reason for reservations is to ensure an orderly and fair ordering process for customers when Steam Deck inventory becomes available. The additional fee gives us a clearer signal of intent to purchase, which gives us better data to balance supply chain, inventory, and regional distribution leading up to launch.
Why is my account not able to place a reservation until Sunday?
We are aware of potential unauthorized resellers, and as an additional safeguard to ensure a fair ordering process, we've added a requirement that the reserver has made a purchase on Steam prior to June 2021 for the first 48 hours of reservation availability.
How does the reservation system work?
When you submit a reservation, you will be put in a queue. Once inventory is available, you will be emailed in the order the reservations were made.
When will I be able to order?
We are aiming to start sending order invitations by December 2021. We will make every effort to convert all reservations to orders but we are not able to guarantee availability.
Can I cancel my reservation?
Yes, you can cancel your reservation on this page. If you cancel within 30 days, you will be refunded to whatever payment method you used. If you cancel after 30 days, your reservation fee will be refunded to your Steam Wallet.
What regions can I reserve Steam Deck from?
Customers in the United States, Canada, European Union, and the United Kingdom can reserve a Steam Deck. Information about expanded regional availability coming soon.
How many Steam Decks can I reserve?
One Steam Deck can be reserved and ordered per customer.
What happens to my reservation fee if I do not order my Steam Deck in time?
Your reservation fee will be refunded in full. If your refund occurs within 30 days of your initial reservation, you will be refunded to whatever payment method you used. If your refund occurs after 30 days of your initial reservation, you will be refunded to your Steam Wallet.
Are there any restrictions on users that can reserve the Steam Deck?
Your Steam account must be in a valid country. Additionally for the first 48 hours of reservation availability your account must be in good standing, and have made a purchase on Steam prior to June 2021.
Do I need a Steam account to use Steam Deck?
The default Steam Deck experience requires a Steam account (it's free!). Games are purchased and downloaded using the Steam Store. That said, Steam Deck is a PC so you can install third party software and operating systems.
What if I'm not able to reserve right now and would like to purchase a Steam Deck in the future?
You may add Steam Deck to your wishlist and we will notify you when it is available for general purchase.
Is the reservation queue regional?
Yes, the reservation queue and expected order availability times are specific to each region.
Can I change which Steam Deck I purchase once I'm able to order?
Once you're able to order, you can only purchase the Steam Deck model that you reserved.
When will I be charged in full for Steam Deck?
Once your reserved Steam Deck is available and you complete your purchase, you will be charged.
Does the reservation fee count towards my Steam Deck purchase price?
Yes.

The "Steam Machines" were just regular mini-PCs with the SteamOS - Valve didn't make any of that hardware.
Valve didn't abandon SteamLink, they ported it as software to other devices that are more powerful. You can use the software version of SteamLink on Apple tvOS, or Android devices that are much faster than the original hardware.

I own a Switch and don't really like the exclusives. Breath of the wild is boring... pokemon sword put me to sleep...and astral chain is too linear. Although, I love the soundtrack.
It's selling for around $800 ish on eBay. Just be careful you don't sell to zero rating people . Fees will eat up $100-$110 of any profit you get

256 GB NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen 3 x4 or PCIe Gen 3 x2*)
512 GB high-speed NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen 3 x4 or PCIe Gen 3 x2*)
Previously all of the SSDs were Gen 3x4.
I've yet to see anyone show that it makes a difference.
Honestly the best one to buy is the 64gb and either install your own SSD or just use SD cards - you can use a large one or use multiple smaller ones.
Some people have said that build quality appears to be better on the newest released ones - this includes the surface feel. I'm looking at the GuliKit sticks next.
I have a 3rd wave 256gb with a 1TB microSD. I can highly recommend the DBrand skin. I have the JSAUX Gen 2 dock showing up soon and I'm looking

Oh, wait, you can.
It doesn't seem to impact games but it could have an (small) impact in desktop mode.
