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.

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

Steam Deck is 10% off until the end of the Steam Spring Sale on March 23rd at 10am Pacific.
I love Valve and the idea of the Steam Deck and at this $ the value proposition is huge. Yet if you rarely travel like me then you might be better off spending that entertainment money on a better PC or GPU, I would have been.

Just wondering it it will run out of the box. I pre ordered TOTK. If not on the deck, then on the PC.
BTW, i watched linus mod his, and I'm about to do the same.
I recommend the 256GB model personally but of course up to you.
Link to EmuDeck for those wondering.
