Review on Game console Valve Steam Deck 512 GB SSD, black by Janis Cerins ᠌
Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.
The reality is that Steam Deck is a Linux application, and in order for it to be able to run games, it needs to generate files for each game that imitate the Windows operating system. A shader cache is also generated by Steam Deck, which, in turn, uses a significant amount of the computer's main RAM. My recommendation is that you should not store games in the system's built-in memory and instead keep that space free for other purposes. After some time, when you decide that you want something more and begin experimenting, you will need the memory that is already built into the system in order to install a wide variety of add-ons that will improve both the gaming experience and the performance of the system. Prepare yourself to invest a significant amount of time in adjusting the various parameters. It will become second nature for you to spend an hour adjusting the graphics, followed by another hour adjusting the controls. This won't be the case every time, of course, but it will happen fairly frequently. If you play games on a console, you might find this to be a little irritating at first. The end result is that we cannot confidently predict that everyone will find Steam Deck appealing and that it will meet their needs. We are finally able to declare that playing video games on a personal computer has grown easier and more pleasurable. I'm pleased with how the cookie turned out. In the end, I can play PC games only available on that platform, even on a portable device.
- It feels quite natural in the hands, and the position of the controls allows the fingers to lie naturally on them. Even in first-person shooters and strategy games, playing on trackpads is a very convenient option, and the integrated gyroscope will help you aim more precisely. It is possible to connect any gamepad, including those from PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Excellent built-in speakers produce sound of a good quality and to a reasonable volume. It's not impossible, even in a situation like that. You will need to increase the memory capacity by using MicroSD, preferably one that can read data at a rate of 130 MB per second. It is recommended that you get a 512 GB card for the volume, but I started off with 256 GB, and I was still able to install three triple-A games and a couple more independent projects, so it is definitely possible to get by with a 256 GB card.
- I am unable to state that Steam Deck has any kind of good performance because the hardware is very poor when compared to today's standards. You shouldn't expect to feel confident playing all of the new games right away. Your constant companions will be medium or even minimum settings, as well as a lock at 40 frames per second. But obviously the focus here is on the more substantial titles. It is up to chance whether or not the game will get underway. For instance, I came across certain games that flat-out refused to operate under any circumstances. Screen. In my opinion, it is fairly cheap, with weak blacks and unpleasant highlights along the edges, but at the same time, it is quite comfortable to play on it, and it does not in any way induce disgust in any way. Additionally, the screen bezels are quite substantial in size. A loud refrigerator. But investing in quality headphones is the solution to this issue. Memory size. Installing at least some games on the internal memory of a device with 64 GB is not at all suitable for doing so. There is no way to clear up the "garbage" that quickly accumulates in the built-in memory, as there are no tools specifically designed for that purpose.
