Don’t call it a Steam Machine: this is the Steam Deck, a 7‑inch handheld gaming PC from gaming software giant Valve. We flew to Valve’s HQ in Bellevue, Washington, to spend about an hour with the machine and compare it to Nintendo’s Switch and other portable systems.

Quick note on our battery impressions. Valve told The Verge after publishing that our units were not fully charged to start with. Valve claims 2–8 hours of use, and we look forward to testing battery life in our full review.
Only if can play off line and get games easy
no
TALK TO SONY!
Calling switch-like makes the steam deck sound crappy
Well I like all the options to switch from Linux to window and everything else so that’s a pro
Also wish I knew if I can play some anime games like persona or BlazBlue on it or Yu-Gi-Oh all I’m seeing are doom and Star wars but not alot of animation or what will be a deal breaker for me is final fantasy xii the open world one only ever played it on playstation 4 when it just came out but next day I was unable to login because I needed some key idk
hi can we download and play offline/ and what about lag issues when playing fighting games/ can we connect fighting sticks or Hitbox & TV .
I’m running Witcher 3 at medium on my Aya neo with no problem lol I’m still excited for steam deck to launch because I think it’ll at least have 20–30% better fps in most games that I play
Yes! Just want it to run the whole steam library out of the box! Do that and done!
For a 400 to $500 of curs u really cant get what u really expecting. Commonsense. Go buy a thousand portable console like aya or that asus one. That will surely be close to ur expectations…
To be fair. This sound more like and add on than anything else. The reason that the switch is popular is also becasuse the games that you cant play anywhere else.
Correction, Nintendo has enabled Bluetooth headsets.
I’m 32 i been a games all my life coming from gameboy advance to this young Boyz will never know struggle. Glad to see these hand consoles coming to life. Wish had these when I was younger now I don’t even have time to even eat 😒
Thank you for comparing the types of glass!!
The majority of games I play are not resource hogs, so this may be good. I already pre-purchased last year
Put windows on steam deck is a huge waste of resources.
uh yes, yes, I would
I’m getting rid of my switch lite for this
3:31 game pls
cin at play fotnite
The switch has been my take everywhere console. But for about the past 6 months, I’ve been playing xbox remote play on my 13 pro max. It’s actually really good, even without wife. It doesn’t hurt that I’m using unlimited 5G through Verizon. I definitely want to eventually get the steam deck, especially since I have about 60 something games on steam.
I kinda wanna get this is it worth it
Does the trackpad become unresponsive after long use? Kind of like using the track pad of a laptop for a long time and it gets more dark at a particular spot and that spot not becoming responsive?
Can it run as a console (to a monitor and controller)???
No. The Switch already convinced me that mobile pc games should stay on a big screen.
Damn only 100 more then the switch
Switch has Bluetooth now… Turns out it was there all along.
Where do you buy this from
Can you play Dota2 there?
Will I be able to buy it at best buy or Amazon? When this comes out?
But the design is horrible for most games, with the joysticks all the way on the top and tiny buttons for such a big portable device. Lastly the battery life is also very bad l. 2.5 hours on average is bad
“meaty thumb sticks”
Battery life like 1 hour or 2 right?
You say the screen looks more vibrant on the 64 gb model than the 512 gb model. You are the first one to say this because normally it is the other way around. Did you have the 2 next to each other by yourself?
They will probably put all games compactable soon
Plus it’s got Xbox game pass apparently

Is “valve” a new version or is it just the complete name?
720p 😂
Can we play GTA V online on it or not?
If its got bo2 or siege i will buy it
But can it run Atari Pac-Man?
سبحان الله وبحمده سبحان الله العظيم
