Amazon.com: Valve Steam Deck 512GB Handheld Console LCD : Tools & Home Improvement

While sick in bed, it's nice to have my steam library available without the lag of a laptop. Some newer early access games do crash, which is not unexpected, but Skyrim Special Edition does also crash on this steam deck unless you really bring the graphics down. You'll also want to keep the charger plugged in with this while gaming, but if you're waiting on updates and such and the steam deck is charged over 80% or so then you should be fine.

Brooke just shy of 60 days. I highly recommend getting the insurance if you want to take the change in buying this because my son who is deployed right now got this before leaving for deployment to use during his down time. After doing his first system update and reboot, the screen in now black and never turned back on. We can hear the fan but tried everything possible to get the screen working with no success. Contacted seller and said since it’s part the 30 days, they can’t help us. It’s just shy of 60 days since purchase. Very disappointing!

Bought it for our son’s birthday. I think he still lives here. Haven’t seen him in months. I see evidence if his existence: dirty dishes in the sink next to an empty dishwasher, his backpack in the middle of the hallway, and the occasional outburst from winning or losing something he’s experiencing on the device…. It’s much nicer around here … 😜He says it’s an insanely fast, nice machine and the graphics are great. He is the envy of his friends, who I don’t see much anymore because he’s on the steam deck.

First off, the price was a little steep. Especially considering the price for it is way less if purchasing directly from Steam, but I seen a lot of people not being able to acquire a Steam Deck directly from Steam because of the country they lived in. Due to shipping nonsense. And most of those people all lived in the USA. Which is where I live. Anyway, it was well worth the price though. The Steam Deck is an absolute beast for a handheld gaming device. Can play most of my Steam library wherever I go. Offline. The Steam Deck is pretty big with a decent sized screen. I took a couple of pictures to give anyone who's interested in the Steam Deck an idea of it's size. The system does get really hot. So it's best to take breaks and not play for extended periods. The battery life is horrible. Playing a game like "Grounded," drains the battery in about an hour. And thats running the game with almost the best settings. The only thing I really don't like about the Steam Deck, and it's the same reason I didn't like the Nintendo Switch, is how close the anolog stick is to the A, X, Y and B buttons. And the same with the D-Pad. I'm constantly catching the side of the analog whenever I move my thumb to press one of those buttons. Quite annoying. But other than that, if your looking for a handheld to play some really awesome games, then get a Steam Deck.
