VALVE Steam Deck 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM, 7 inch, SteamOS 3.0, Handheld Gaming Console

The Steam Deck I just bought is great. The price is fair and reasonable compared to the last year scalpers price, but I caught this at a discount so it wasn't much more than regular. Outside of that, it's a brand new system and works flawless out of the box. This little thing is the best thing ever for gaming and gaming on the go. PLEASE set aside extra money to buy storage. You WILL need it. But it really surprised me how cool this thing is! it has really nice quality and it works fast enough, you can buy steam games on this and it's like actually having a computer in your hands! I finished installing dual boot operating systems so I can play Steam games on Steam OS then shift to Windows 11 OS to play non Steam games. The dual boot is working flawlessly and without any issues.

Awesome product it works and it’s sealed brand new

Received mine couple days ago, tried alot of AAA games from steam and non-steam, emulators and i can say steam deck can be the best portable gaming device for now, SteamOs make it perfect and the way you can switch to desktop mode, and how can u make alot out of it. Definitely worth it.

UPDATE 25/7/23 Decided not to return the Deck as I wanted to get back to tweaking and poking around. Some things buyers should note 1. Steam doesn’t have all the latest games as many studios are offering them through their own game stores/launchers - typically Origin, EA, Epic (no Fortnite), Blizzard (no Diablo 4), etc. 2. Lots of tutorials online to show you how to add 3rd party stores/launchers/emulators to your Deck so you have a wider range of games to play on the Deck - e.g. Lutien, Heroic apps 3. Just because Valve marks a game as Deck Verified doesn’t mean it plays well on the Deck, at least not at max graphics performance. This is still a handheld console. Learn to use ProtonDB (web site) to see what works and what settings are recommended 4. Plug-ins can help with the overall ownership experience - I recommend Decky Loader. Doesn’t require root access nor sideloading. 5. While it sucks to have to pay for a game you already own on a different platform (e.g Xbox / PS - in my case, I have Horizon Zero Dawn on my PS5), some older AAA games have discounts from time to time. 6. You might want to consider buying a USB-C hub, keyboard (wired is recommended), mouse (wired or 2.4Ghz, not Bluetooth) if you plan to tinker (and you should, in order to get the most out of Deck - if you’re expecting to use it as-is out of the box, you’ll be quite disappointed). Connect the hub, keyboard and mouse to a TV or monitor using HDMI allows you to run the Deck like a PC, and you can pretty much play PC games on Steam as you do with your regular laptop/desktop - performance limitations still apply 7. Fast charging only needs 45W, so don’t go crazy getting a high-wattage charger. I recommend the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 45W charger with bundled 30W wired charger if you want a portable power bank, or the Ugreen 100W GaN charger which will allow you fast charge the Deck, a tablet and a phone simultaneously. **** Overall, hardware is impressive, but within hour, I realized that many of my favorite games will require extensive tinkering to play on the Deck - Diablo isn’t available (Battke.net side load required), Horizon (Zero Dawn is old but available and frame rates aren’t great; Forbidden West isn’t on Deck), PGA Tour 2K23 isn’t verified (keyboard tinkering needed), Fallout (older ones available but not really compatible with Deck), Mechwarrior 5 (not Deck verified/ fully compatible) Tons of indie games but I’m really not into them. Great value if you’re looking for a gaming handheld and have time inclination to tinker in Linux

The Steam Deck is a great way to play PC games on the go. It performs really well, with smooth gameplay and a responsive control setup. The screen is sharp, and the battery life holds up for decent playtime. It’s a bit bulky, but it’s worth it for the power and flexibility it offers. Overall, a solid choice for portable gaming.

Best handheld gaming device ever and it’s reasonably priced. The Only thing negative is the limited SSD storage, these days 512 GB is barely enough for 3 or 4 AAA games, I have added 512 external SD card to store other non resource intensive games and emulation.l, SD cards are so cheap so it’s not an issue Upgrading of internal SSD to 2 TB is costly ~1400 dhs Away from this issue, the device is fantastic

Just like the other review said, looks like the seller hoarded early stock and is now selling them at a lower price. These units have the old noisy delta fan and are not new units.

I bought the 500 gb one and it’s perfect, it has all my pc games on portable handheld and most of the games work perfectly, the things I recommend getting is: 1: Portable Fan (Preferably JSAUX) 2: Screen Protector ( Don’t want any scratches do ya) 3: Bigger Case (I’m talking HUGE) 4: 500 GB/ 1 TB Sd card ( Storage runs up fast) 5: JoyCon Grips ( Normal Ones Are a bit Slippery) Besides that this is perfect for playing games in the car, on the train, on an airplane, and many more. 10/10 Would Recommend! (Don’t Worry About Heating, It’s supposed to do that)

If you’re a previous generation console AAA games player/ pc player who loves playing with the controller this is a win. Pros: 1. Vast steam games library 2. Fluid performance with semi demanding games. 3. Can be taken anywhere but not really portable like you can’t put it in your normal sized pocket. Cons 1. Needs an excellent internet connection to download huge size games. No internet no games in the storage. 2. Battery life is okey for casual players but for hooked up ones you’ll be hugging the wall for the charger to play for long hours. 3. (Optional) You’ll be needing must have accessories like screen protector and maybe a console guard to add to it’s longevity aka avoid damaging the chunky portable deck. 4. Not all games are compatible yet. Overall: Good buy. SD adds enjoyment on the go.

Excelente dispositivo, una portátil demasiado buena en todos los sentidos, desde el material en el que esta construido como la experiencia de juego, los juegos como god of war ragnarök, Doom, entre otros, los corre de maravilla, la experiencia de juego es muy buena, no remplaza a mi Nintendo Switch o mi Xbox Series pero la experiencia de juego si es otra, la verdad no me arrepiento vale cada peso, en lo personal me encanto en el modo escritorio como es una distro basada 100% en Linux va de maravilla, ocupo la terminal para tirar comandos y realizar desde tareas simples hasta gestión de servidores, como Ing.Sistemas me ha ido de maravilla con el dispositivo en mi vida diaria. Lo recomiendo y mas para quienes somos informáticos y disfrutamos de la tecnología. Mucho mejor que la Asus ROG Ally y Lenovo GO. Yo incluí una funda buena y una mica para la pantalla

Pra quem tá querendo comprar, NN vem adaptador junto (adaptador universal estilo UK), tem que comprar separado. Mas sim, é um excelente produto! Stema deck ainda vai evoluir muito e já vale a pena comprar um!

The steam deck is a surprisingly good way of getting into PC games on a budget. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not gonna run black ops 6 but what it can run is impressive. The Witcher 3, metro series, cyberpunk, the last of us part 1 and no man’s sky run like a dream and are quite good looking, not ultra graphics of course but it’s surprisingly powerful. Even games as hardware intensive as ready or not or forever winter are able playable on the lower graphics settings. Once again you won’t be running the latest and greatest but with some messing around you’ll be surprised. It’s a little larger than I expected which can make it seem rather cumbersome at first but you adjust to the added weight and width of the controller with time. The unexpected size can make it a little less portable than I’d like but that’s a very personal experience. Since I travel internationally a lot and I travel light, one backpack, it can be a squeeze to fit it in but you may not have that issue. Overall I can’t recommend a steam deck more to people that want to play pc games at a fair performance and at a cheaper price or to people that care about game portability. Top product

Nice and promt delivery, product was exactly what was ordered and it even came with a power adaptor for the charger so it would work with Australian power outlets. Playing games and customising it is amazing and the experience is similar to a console with the steam OS.
