Honestly I’m still rocking my Q3 OG 500gb steam deck. To put how much I love this thing in perspective: I had got a slot for the Limited Edition Steam deck, but because my original works so darn well, I could not pull the trigger and didn’t see any good reason to upgrade.
Personally, if I were to do it again, I’d go buy a 64gb refurbished cheap af steam deck, but a 500gb nvme or w.e, and then use the extra money to just buy a bunch of 512gb sd cards.
The Steamdeck’s USP is that it’s a handheld PC which is priced like a console.
Don’t get me wrong, these handhelds are cool, but they’re not competitors to the steamdeck unless they’re hitting the same price points.
How much is a steamdeck ? I’m not much for gaming, but curious. Just not curious enough to actually look.
Cheapest model is I think ~350? But goes up to like $800 for the most expensive
Used to be able to get Certified Refurbished 64gb from steam goes for $280, but it’s not in stock. Keep an eye out, they might become available again.
Agreed. I think whenever the next steam deck iteration comes out, I’ll get it. I don’t usually like buying the first iteration of something.

It’s honestly been the best first gen of a product I’ve experienced in years.
