This is a good system. Lots of good games. Way cheaper than a gaming computer
It came on time, and it works. It's a good system and pretty much the only thing I'm playing now.You'll NEED a big memory card.

Was 100% worth it at the time. Great buy!
I purchased my Steam Deck from 'RocketDrop LLC' since they were located in the same state as me, only 25 minutes away, thinking I would get it a lot sooner. Haha, that wasn't the case. But regardless it only took about 6 days total..due to them being a bit slow on the ball with getting it shipped out. No big deal.Its awesome. I unfortunately haven't gotten the chance to play it as much as I'd like but from what I have this thing is amazing, which I knew it would be. It's like having a low to low/mid tier gaming rig in your hands (and if you don't have a PC right now due to astronomical prices for components it's your best option right now)I bought mine at $443.99, only a $45 difference from the steam store wasn't a big deal. It gave me the chance to use my Amazon gift card towards it. But looking at the current price of the 64GB on here at the time of me writing this (3/13/23).. it's listed for $520, guess I jumped at the right time. At that price just grab the 256GB from the steam store for $529 tbh.Moving onto the size (64GB). Yeah, it's not a lot of space at all especially if you're looking to put AAAs on it. For now you can just get a good microSD card (U3, A2)..the load time differences between the SD card and the SSD are negligible at best, it's not a big deal. eMMc also isn't incredibly slower than NVMe..its slower, yeah. But nothing crazy. And if these things are a big deal the great thing about these things is that you can just go and buy a 512GB-1TB 2230 m.2 NVMe SSD, pop open the back and swap it out. Just watch the video on ifixit, one of the tons of videos on YouTube or even ValvE has a video on how to replace the current 64Gb drive for the bigger upgraded NVMe SSD (make sure it is a 2230 form factor). I eventually plan on doing this myself but for now will stick with using my SD card since like I mentioned - the difference in load times is negligible. It'll just be easier to not deal with shader cache storage from games taking up my space, etc. But I'm not too worried about it right now.At first I was kind of on the fence on purchasing from here. There weren't a ton of reviews and there were a few bad reviews about a screen issue, a used device, etc. Alot of this depends on the specific seller (which you can choose in the drop down and check the sellers reviews of their store).But mine was flawless, brand new in box, plastic still on the deck and the zippers had the Valve tag still locking them closed - as you can see in one of my pictures. (Sorry I didn't take a photo of it running beyond the start up screen)I'm glad that within the last 5 weeks many more have purchased from Amazon and in their reviews have had a positive experience with their Decks too. I've also seen from Valve that the Steam Deck warranties are interchangeable and if you ever develop an issue you can RMA it to Valve to fix it even though it was purchased new through Amazon.Ok, this is long enough lol. Honestly at this current price point of $520. Just get it at Valve and wait the extra week - I also noticed some sellers who were selling this at $430-450 a month ago are now even selling it for $599 🤦. After the seller with the $520 steak decks are gone..I think the next cheapest seller was at around $548. That's insane but obviously up to all of you. Still a great buy when I snagged it last month and I'm very happy with it.The fact that I can play AAA MMOs in the palm of my hands at a steady 30+ FPS..not even on low settings is insane to me. And for less than $450 (not talking about aya neo, GPD, One player, etc who charge astronomical prices for their devices)

I Love it!
I’ve been playing non stop. I can’t leave home or go on vacations without it. Most games run smooth. Some games lag a bit due to gpu. Within game setting you can adjust the graphics though to have smoother gameplay. No big deal. You can also install ROMS and emulators through the linux system. Highly recommend grabbing a steam deck. Very convenient.

The little workhorse.
The lcd steam deck is a impressive piece of gaming hardware for what is does and is capable of.14,000 games verified plug and play .Infinite number of old and new game titles.If you can do the technical footwork with proton and wine emulatorsLinux is not that scary or confusing.It's basically just like android operating systems.Great for road trips and long flights .Battery life is about 1 hour 30 minutes on more graphic intensive games . Think red dead redemption 2/ gta5On 2d games like vampire survivers etc4 hours Battery life .I bought a Sambert 1tb ssd . To replace the stock 64 gig one .Swapping out the old ssd for the new one wasn't hard .Is does help if you have previous experience with building and maintaining computer equipment.The big thing for why I bought it is that youCan carry your whole steam library with you .And play at least 3/4 of it .Recommend a big 40 watt battery bank for long sessions.

Awesome, not perfect…
For the price, this thing is awesome. I just wish i knew about the oled before i bought this because the oled has all the things i wanted upgraded in this lcd version. The screen colors are not as vibrant or vivid as an oled (it only has 80% of sRGB colors) and the oled has 1tb of ssd, which is a must if you plan on playing those big memory heavy games like doom eternal. The mini-sd card is too slow to play a game like that, i tried. This thing has a desktop mode that allows you to modify everything for free, thank you linux. It is a great emulator for older games if you are into that. The console feels great in my hands, but i do not like the touch pads too much, maybe if i could shut them off somehow because my thumb sometimes touches the upper corner of the pads and it does a fast selection or movement that ruins the experience. If you plan on hooking it up to your tv, purchasing the dock is a must. The dongle attachment approach is horrible and my steam deck fell on the ground twice before i bought the dock. Also, if you buy the grip case for this thing, it will not fit in the dock. The dock plug will also not plug into the console with the grip case on either, maybe a mini usb-c extender will work. I say all this to say, i love this thing, i just wish there were more options and modifications/upgrades for the hardware. I would hate having to trash, stow it in a closet or sell it to keep up-to-date with the fast changing software out here. Oh and not all games will run on it because they may have external account log-ins you need to play their games. I should also mention this because my brother didn’t know anything about the Steam store, you must open a steam account and add your games to it or purchase them from the site. I’ve had mine since the beginning of Valve Corp, but not many people have heard about it, i guess.
