Review on Game console Valve Steam Deck 64 GB SSD, black by Wiktor Iwanski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not particularly happy with it, but it's mostly okay.

A fantastic item, a potential switch killer, etc., in theory and on paper. They have a vast Steam catalog and are very compatible with emulators, but their monstrous size and weight cancel out any benefits. Only on lengthy flights or trains do I find myself needing to juggle this behemoth for amusement; at home I have a standard PC. Instead of bringing a deck of cards with me when I need a portable gadget, I should bring a switch, or at least an old PSP or 3DS. This is a toy for aficionados who have an extra $400 burning a hole in their wallet, but until a second version comes out with better materials and assembly, lower dimensions, and a larger battery, you shouldn't buy it.

Pros
  • Variability in performance, community, and Valve support, and management
Cons
  • Specifics like size, weight, battery life, display, and durability
