About this Item:
  • Portability meets power. We partnered with AMD to create Steam Deck's custom APU, optimized for handheld gaming. It is a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 powerhouse, delivering more than enough performance to run the latest AAA games in a very efficient power envelope.
  • Your Steam Library, anywhere. Once you've logged into Steam Deck, your entire Steam Library shows up, just like any other PC. You'll also see the compatibility rating of each game, indicating the kind of experience you can expect when playing. You can dynamically filter any view in your library by compatibility rating if you're looking for specific sorts of experiences.
  • Control with comfort. The Steam Deck was built for extended play sessions—whether you're using thumbsticks or trackpads—with full-size controls positioned perfectly within your reach. The rear of the device is sculpted to comfortably fit a wide range of hand sizes.

Steam Deck is without a doubt the best tech purchase I've made in a long time.

If you are somewhat tech savvy I recommend the 64GB model paired with a 512GB or 1TB micro SD card. You can always upgrade the internal SSD if necessary. The issue with the 64GB is shaders must be stored on internal drive, not SD card, so between the OS and shaders the drive fills up fast.

If you don't feel like messing with opening the deck up, go for the 256GB model paired with a 1TB micro SD card.

The 512GB model only worth it for anti glare screen if you feel like you'll be playing it often outside.

Some must have programs for deck:

Decky loader - plugin manager for themes, power tools, and much more

EmuDeck- old school games emulation

Steam Rom Manager - adds your emulation game to steam, categorized by system with full game box and cover art

I also highly recommended a 45w power bank, the decks biggest weakness is battery life, you'll want a battery pack for travel

Be aware not all games run out of the box. Some require tweaking or custom proton versions to run properly.

ProtonDB.com lists game compatibility for all games and is a great resource, it's also a plug-in for decky
It has not. The company has stated very recently there is not a new version coming anytime soon. Stop spreading BS
There is only one m.2 slot so you'll remove the 64gb ssd and change it with a 1tb ssd. There are walkthroughs on youtube and from Valve on how to replace it.

Honestly, this is one of the best devices I have ever purchased. No regrets at all. You can play almost any game system ever created.

Great deal especially for the 64GB model. I just purchased one on 3/14 so I emailed Valve asking to honor the price difference

First sale it's had! I have one but honestly don't use it enough. I will say though that I added EmuDeck and some of my favorite games from the PS1, PS2 and a few other consoles and it's been a great emulator.

I recommend the 256GB model personally but of course up to you.

Link to EmuDeck for those wondering.

Why do you recommend the 256? I'm trying to decide which to get.

If you are computer savvy at all you can buy the 64GB version and upgrade the SSD to a bigger one. I am rocking a 1tb nvme in my 64GB model.

I would not get the 256. I bought the 64 GB and added a 1 TB ssd for 150, but it looks like microcenter has that for sale now at 129. It was pretty easy to install

I'm confident I can change the drive. Does the anti glare on the 512 make any difference between the models?

Maybe if you plan to play outside at all. But if you can always just get an anti glare screen protector.

I mostly play mine on the couch or in bed so pointless for me.
