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.

I would just get the 64gb model and upgrade it yourself. Either an external 512gb microsd ($15-$30) or a 2230 1 tb card for about $118 incl tax in multiple places. Not difficult to install at all. All the plaudits for the steam deck are true. Really great device, especially with emudeck. Tons of fun

It has a micro SD slot that can take 1tb cards and the internal ssd is easily replaceable. It's not the steam deck that's the joke here.
Word of warning to anyone who is planning to use 1tb sd cards. I've had 2 separate Steam Decks brick 2 separate 1tb cards from errors downloading games. These were 2 confirmed legit SanDisk cards. I have switched to a 512gb card and had no issues. I don't think Steam Deck plays nice with 1tb+ cards.

If you are capable, just buy the 64gb and upgrade the SSD yourself. You can get a 512gb 2230 NVME for $50 or less, or a 1TB for about $120. Heck, you can even get 2TB now for about $250.

I originally bought the 512gb and quickly upgraded it to a 1TB. Couple months later we got a 64gb for the wife and we just installed my old 512gb drive in hers.

As far as the screen goes, the anti-glare is nice, but it's certainly not worth the extra cost if you are capable of upgrading the SSD yourself.

I'm using a SanDisk Extreme 512gb currently, it works fine.

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.
It's nice, but the size is a bit off-putting for me. I'd love to see a lite version that removes the trackpads and significantly removes the bulkiness.

I'm confident I can change the drive. Does the anti glare on the 512 make any difference between the models?
If you're adding a screen protector anyway, just make sure it's a matte one and now you've got the same thing as the 512gb has.

Coming from a switch playing xcom all day. I returned the steam because the bulkiness and all the buttons make it not so comfortable to hold for extended periods of time.

Can you pay with Steam gift cards? Are the GCs on sale anywhere nowadays?
