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.

The original price is next to the discount price on the product page and it has not been a penny less until today.
Ah ok. I've never been knowledgeable about it. For some reason I thought the cheapest pre-orders were $299. Thanks

I love my steam deck. It's really helped clearing out some backlog.
Totally agree. I bought Fallout New Vegas twice on different consoles and they're both still sealed. Got the Deck and bought FNV on a sale. FINALLY played and finished the game.

The steamdeck is really cool, but I think this is Valve getting out ahead of a flood of competitors.

I think we are going to be spoiled for choice when it comes to handheld computers this year.

Are there other ones announced that are coming? I've not kept up with the market.

You just tape the 1 tb drive to the bottom and then pour a quart of milk over it to charge the electrons.
Thanks for not being helpful whatsoever.

Ayaneo 2 just came out which blows the steam deck away, hence the discount

This is the best and most economical handheld gaming machine on the market today.

I'm sure someone have mentioned already: buy the base model and swap the SSD to a 2TB one yourself! 2TB drives are so cheap these days.

That said, I saw a few reviewers mention a few points:
  1. The SteamOS still isn't perfect in terms of compatibility with Windows games. But Steam is doing their best
  2. The Zen 2 CPU is a little underpowered in single threaded performance (likely also due to its very limited TDP). It would have been beneficial if it were using Zen 3 cores.

I love my Steamdeck. Play it almost daily. I have a powerful PC but what makes the deck great is portability. There are times where I just want to lay down and game or sit on the couch. A lot of games are verified as well, and with games that Steam says is not verified, head over to protondb.com and search for the game. It'll show what users had to do to get it working. You can dual boot as well if you're savy enough and want to get windows on there or Steam OS. I've also tried streaming directly from my PC to my Steamdeck and it works flawlessly. I did it as a test when I was running higher end games on my laptop to see how it would behave on the deck. There are also so many sites for cdkeys for games on Steam as well. Advice, if people are thinking of grabbing it, make sure you grab a dock as well so that way you have more ports to work with. There's a big community as well

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.
Does it just use a standard NVME or is it a smaller laptop sized drive? How hard is it to open.

There are other options such as the OneXPlayer, AyaNeo, and GPD, however none of those companies have managed to meet or beat Valves dollar to power value. The devices that beat the Steam Deck have a 6800U/680M combo and are in the $1000 price range (give or take depending on how you spec it). I dont see anyone putting out a machine for $399 that meets/beats the Deck anytime soon. I think that is why Valve is not rushing to push out a new model this year. I think getting a Deck at $359 from this sale is a great deal, especially considering you can get a 512gb SSD in the ballpark of $55-70. I put a 1TB in mine, partitioned it and put Windows on it with a custom bootloader so I have the best of both worlds. Its one of my favorite tech purchases of the last few years. I feel Ive gotten my money's worth in just under a year of owning it.

Sometimes I wish I never knew about this site. I probably would've had more money compared to the money I would be saving by buying things that are on sale

8 Screws on the back to open, very easy. It uses a NVMe PCIe Gen4 2230 SSD
