Hi. I love your steam deck customizations. Can you please tell the battery pack you use to attach to deck to play on the go? Probably a light weight one :)
Great video dude. Something to be aware of when speaking, you use “personally” and “honestly” quite a bit. No hate, just here to help ya improve! Keep ‘em coming.
Great video. Something that stood out to me is how almost everything you say is reflected in the video. A lot of other TH-camrs just have some b roll playing in the background whilst talking for 15-20 minutes so there can be a disconnect and it’s confusing. You’ve put in a lot of effort into this video and it shows so great work and keep it up!
I was alive and just old enough to remember life when the Atari 2600 was the thing to have. I've literally went from seeing the "main character" as a block on the screen, a flat square with 4 corners with the original Adventure at 6 years old.... to just under 40 years later seeing a world like Witcher 3. It's insane
@markusmitchell8585 At least the Xbox/Playstation can run the shit it says it can. They made shortcuts to cut costs for the deck. I'd rather pay $2,000 and have a hand held that's actually optimal, with better cooling, better display, and an external battery that can be swapped for a charged one. But they made the deck shitty on purpose so that they could rake in more money for the Deck 2.0 that fixes the intentional problems that should have been addressed in the first place.
I just got one in Australia yesterday and am quite pleased with it. Screen was actually much better than I thought it was going to be. It could do with a bit more power for AAA titles but it's good enough. Valve is taking a bit of a loss not making it officially available in Australia. Very high demand over here.
There's a secret 3rd option for storing your games: external drive. I have a spare 1TB SSD so I just have a bunch of games backed up on that. I can easily just go into Desktop mode, plug in the SSD, update any game I'm interested in playing and just transfering it over to the Deck. Transfer it back once I'm done with it. Easy peasy.
@Cool Stuff It stands for network attached storage, and its exactly what it sounds like. Basically a pc attached to my home network full of hard drives that act as essential an external drive. I can move files between them allowing me to back up any of my steam games. Than simply move them back if I want to play them, with out having to wait for the steam download.
@@escho6696 That sounds awesome, how do you accomplish that, which app do you use? I am a Linux and technical guy so feel free to throw any technical terms
Never seen a Steam Deck review like yours before it is both informative and non bias! Thank you for your amazing Review I learned a lot about the Deck! Since I am on a tight budget videos like yours saves me from regret buying a bad product!
On my Steam Deck, I have this little jack insert so no dust gets into the it. Much like you, I don't really use connected headphones with it so keeping that port protected from dust is good to do.
I think the 64GB model is perfect because the on board storage is there for the steam OS and other updates as needed. Then you can go ahead and install a 1TB SSD in addition to keeping the 64GB internal storage. You can also find 512GB Micro SD Cards for around $50.
Great review. One constructive criticism I’ll offer is to consider rewatching this and count the number of times you say “you know” and try to limit repeated crutch phrases. If you’ve ever had a teacher that repeated the same phrase or said “um” a lot, you know that it can detract from the information they’re trying to transfer. I’ll definitely be checking out more of videos. Great job.
I have one, just the standard 64gb model. But a few months later I kind of am feeling like I should have waited for a later updated model. I also wanted to say that I do feel like people who get these really should have some knowledge of how Linux works. If you have games outside of steam it isn't as easy as just downloading them at times. I've run into problems with games outside working one day and then suddenly not working the next probably due to updates. And I also worry about the updates causing other issues everytime one is released. I also feel like the dock is 100% needed to get the most enjoyment of the the SD.
I was debating on whether I should just buy the current model or wait for the revision, and your comment kind of made my decision. I think i’ll wait for the revision. Hopefully it’ll come maybe 2024-2025.
I got the cheapest model, ordered an ssd from China on ebay and got an ifit toolkit top open it and unscrew it. Took me less than 15 minutes to replace it and it has worked like a charm. 1tb memory no issues. Totally worth it tbh
Your videos are very high quality and you always have something new to add to the Steam Deck conversation. I find that any other Steam Deck videos that pop up just repeat the same old tired arguments, regardless of if they're positive or negative. Appreciate your work man, cheers!
I really wanna get one as I am always traveling but I'm still holding out for the possibility that PERHAPS they'll release an OLED version or might as well just wait for the Deck 2. Anyway, great review!
It’s most likely gonna be a while for a deck 2. It’s barely been out a year and the steam deck just recently became available to purchase without having to put in a request for a chance to buy the deck.
Thanks man, ordering one soon and you hit the mark on what I wanted to know. The cons were most insightful and only get those cons from actual longterm use so thanks very very helpful
Why do you prefer to use your deck without adjusting tdp, refresh and clock speeds per-game? These settings save and carry over for each time you launch that game and MANY of the games you're only getting an hour on will easily go to 2, 3 and sometimes 4 hours based on those settings. You are crippling your own experience because 'you prefer to'.
@@im_amil I wholeheartedly agree, they said it was their preference to not adjust anything and I was wondering why when it means a world of difference on battery life
Thanks for the review! I plan on getting a steam deck sometime this year I'm even buying games keeping in mind to play on the steam deck as well as my pc. I really look forward to it, especially for RPGS
Sorry for my language but HOLY SHIT!!... This man is by far one of the best "Gym creator's" and now I find that he also does have a gaming channel??...
0:02 the 10% battery life sums up the life of owning a steam deck, i swear any game made within the last couple years KILLS battery life, although they run surprisingly good on it
Love your videos, has helped me to choose SD accessories as I just picked one up during the sale. Your setups are also very clean and give me inspiration on ways to clean up my own play spaces.
I love the steam deck. I played god of war on it and having huge games like that on the go is amazing. This is probably better than having an actual dedicated high end gaming Laptop to take on the go. Rather take a steam deck.
I have a steam deck and 600ish games. I am passed the initial excitement. I’d say if you don’t have a decent gaming pc you’ll love it. If you do, oh probably won’t like the AAA games more (after the initial buzz wears off, lol). For me I mostly play my roguelikes, pixel games, bullethell games. That probably sounds negative, but don’t mean it that way. I do like the deck and keeping it.
You play only AAA games? Why? There are loads of great indies out there. Hades, Rogue Legacy 2, Disco Elysium, Vampire Survivors, Brotato and so many more.
Thanks! Overhead shots are the best way to capture handhelds from my experience so set up a rig that makes it easy to shoot those and half your work is done :)
i think the Steam Deck 2 needs to make the bezels thinner so we can have a bigger display as well as shortening the device, it is a little wide. Best of both worlds, I just hope we get a OLED screen like the OLED nintendo switch
I just upgraded the SSD in mine yesterday, it's incredibly simple and makes the 512gb version completely obsolete imo. You can diy a 1tb steam deck for the same price as a 256gb model.
It’s the best way to get the best value out of the cheapest model. If I can go back, that’s what I’d do. I’ve already got a 2TB SSD on the way to replace the 512GB on mine.
If it has bluetooth you can connect xbox controller without the need of dongle hold Home Button and The Pair button on top of the controller hold till home starts flashing
I'm curious if downloading Dolphin would have some kind of input lag when docked. On top of steam games, I'd love to play some Smash Melee, and I love the price.
I'm undecided whether to buy the skin and the case, I'm afraid they will increase the overheating of the console since they almost entirely cover the plastic surface
All the games you played are they free ? How many free games are they’re ? And I’ve never had a PC or used steam before So should I get this and do I still have enough games to play ?
Most steam deck owners are pc games so alot of us have a huge catalogue of games which where not played ,you wont get free games like consoles but the sales are cheaper and you have things like cd keys steam keys etc where you can find games cheap ,the good thing is you dont pay for online and if really wanted something like gamepass then you allways can put windows on it .me personally ive just stuck to steam os ,but thats you choice but mind you epic games give away free games a mth
Trust, they didn’t make a mistake on the battery life and the screen bezel. Those things are literally as good as they could possibly be given the technology we currently have. Complaining about battery life while trying to play AAA games is like complaining you don’t have a flying car. Yes, you can’t do that now because at this time it is literally impossible.
I’ve been checking out Steam Deck reviews, and I know absolutely nothing about PC gaming/tech language. I’m looking to buy the Deck to play RDR2 and from some of the videos/reviews it seems like it should work fine. Any info from anyone would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
I absolutely love my steam deck BUT, I am surprised nobody has been talking about the thumbsticks. Not only are they made of this cheap hard rubber material and so your fingers just slide around, but they are weirdly smaller than xbox and Playstation, so just simply buying new grips/bigger grips isn't the answer for some reason. Because the new grips just slide around. Other than that I would buy this thing 5 times over.
I've had it a month now and lots wrong with it. Crashes too much. Even sleeping it sometimes don't let you. Have to hold down the power button way too much. Games are hit and miss if they work. I want every game to just work right after downloading
dude, i bothered about rezolution details until i found it on every game ,go to Right settings and then to general and will see game rezolution, put it to 4k and boom now when u enter the game u have all the rezoltions , i found the 1600x1050 the best between quality and stress on components also depends on game on euto truck simulator 2 the screen rezolution it s garbage, all change when i bumped up to 1920x1200 or 1600x1050 , prefer full hd but the deck gets hot 🔥
Would have been cool to say why you don't like cloud gaming, because playing a game at 30 fps or 60 but with ugly graphic settings isn't worth spending a ton of money in a portable console imo.
See the appeal for something like this is the portability. You’ll never be able to get better performance from something as small as this in comparison to a PC or a console but those aren’t exactly portable either. The growth of handheld tech is moving very fast and it’s only going to get better. Personally, I’ve got a PC where I can max out graphics and fps when I want but the SD makes it easy for me to bring that gameplay when I don’t wanna sit at a PC or a console setup to play or when I travel and need something to do on the ✈️ Cloud gaming is not good enough for me yet since it’s so finicky right now. You need a great internet connection to get decent gameplay from that so I’m just watching to see how that evolves as well.
I am planning to buy a steam deck, however im little bit doubting if i should go for the 64 gb version and buy a 2TB micro sd. Or go for the 256 and 523 gb storage. Because of their faster storage chip. What do you recommend?
64gb, and update the SSD itself! It's incredibly easy to do and significantly cheaper. You can get an anti-glare screen protector if you want too, but apparently it's not that big of a deal
I want to pick up a second one. Mine 512GB Steam Deck has been sent back after 2 months of ownership. The x button stopped working, maybe Hi-Fi Rush wore it out lol. But seriously they are taking a while to get it back to me and I am having Steam Deck withdrawals lol
I'm super looking forward to getting a steamdeck. I don't plan to play AAA titles on it so I'm not worried about it falling behind on quality. I have a series X for those so I don't have to worry to much about missing out on anything. The steamdeck seemingly fits everything I need from gaming right now. As a family man and husband who is running a few businesses, the steamdeck is going to be my savior
I can't really access WiFi at home so is it still playable offline after I've downloaded the games. Plus is it possible to attach to a power supply at home for continuous play as the battery life apparently isn't great.
Thanks for the summary! My only worry is the display, I've been spoiled by Samsung's AMOLED displays, I'm worried I might not like how the Steam Deck's display look like in person 😅
I was concerned as well but honestly given what it is, the screen is fantastic, and you cant really tell the difference. I own an iPhone 12 that has an OLED and it ruined LCD screens for me for sure but, I assure you, worth the purchase 100 percent.
@@Crwzn Good to hear, I plan on getting one soon, mainly for emulation. One more question, does it fill the hands when you hold it? my benchmark is Xbox controller (feels perfect), I had an Ayn Odin Pro but that made my hands cramp :/
@@ahmedp8009 Holding my Xbox controller today after two weeks of using the steam deck made the controller feel cheap and even smaller than I had remembered, the deck fits perfectly in the hands, I'm honestly surprised at how comfy it is given the massive size of the damn thing, this is also including the spigen case I have on it as well. I feel as if you'll be even more impressed that you would imagine. Emulation is a backup for myself personally, as I am trying to play through a bunch of games on my steam library that I haven't gotten too yet - but from what I have experienced so far, Emulation is perfect on the deck, it has its flaws but man, It's nice to be able to play some older ps2 and xbox 360 titles on the go. Ive even been playing some DS and WII games, with little to no issues whatsoever. Sorry to hear about your experience with the Ayn Odin Pro, Ive heard that same thing from a lot of people, hopefully the SD satisfies your needs, friend. Please keep me updated if you end up ordering/receiving it! If you have any other questions, do let me know!
@@Crwzn Good to hear! in fact, the larger the better haha I LOVE handhelds ever since I remember, but we are kids no more, and almost all handhelds out there are too damn small! I've seen videos of people complaining how huge the Steam Deck is, however that is the motivation I needed to pull the trigger. Thanks for the detailed response :)
@@ahmedp8009 i’m turning 20 in a few weeks and i can remember as a little kid playing the legend of zelda - the spirit tracks and super mario 64 on my DS Lite. Over the years I have amassed a collection of old games and consoles (mostly nintendo as i was a huge fanboy growing up.) the 2DS is one of the few handhelds from nintendo that is still bearable to me now in terms of comfortability, the steam deck goes overboard and blows that console out of the water and not sure if i could go back to casually playing any games on any of my other handhelds. The steam deck is what i have wanted, and i’m glad to have another handheld. The size at first was intimidating, unboxing the deck was strange but holding it in the hands made me view it in another way, It genuinely works for me and I hope it works for you. The only complaint so far is the battery life but i can’t really expect a portable PC to have a long lasting battery haha. Best of luck man, I hope you have fun! Let me know what you think of it when (or if) you get it!

@@SpicyCactus No shit anything can be better the PS5 can be better the Xbox Series X could be better but its not if you don't like it don't get it
@markusmitchell8585
At least the Xbox/Playstation can run the shit it says it can.
They made shortcuts to cut costs for the deck. I'd rather pay $2,000 and have a hand held that's actually optimal, with better cooling, better display, and an external battery that can be swapped for a charged one.
But they made the deck shitty on purpose so that they could rake in more money for the Deck 2.0 that fixes the intentional problems that should have been addressed in the first place.
@@SpicyCactus what u smoking
I just got one in Australia yesterday and am quite pleased with it. Screen was actually much better than I thought it was going to be. It could do with a bit more power for AAA titles but it's good enough. Valve is taking a bit of a loss not making it officially available in Australia. Very high demand over here.
They’ll get it there soon. I’m sure they didn’t expect it to do so well so they weren’t very prepared with stock
Where you got it from?

I’ve been checking out Steam Deck reviews, and I know absolutely nothing about PC gaming/tech language. I’m looking to buy the Deck to play RDR2 and from some of the videos/reviews it seems like it should work fine. Any info from anyone would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Your either Bajan or Bahamian!!!!! Fellow Brooklyn Grenadian here;
I might wait until the new version comes out. Im sure they'll increase the battery life
I absolutely love my steam deck BUT, I am surprised nobody has been talking about the thumbsticks. Not only are they made of this cheap hard rubber material and so your fingers just slide around, but they are weirdly smaller than xbox and Playstation, so just simply buying new grips/bigger grips isn't the answer for some reason. Because the new grips just slide around. Other than that I would buy this thing 5 times over.
Where did you get that case? And does it fit the power bank too? Looks great
I've had it a month now and lots wrong with it. Crashes too much. Even sleeping it sometimes don't let you. Have to hold down the power button way too much.
Games are hit and miss if they work. I want every game to just work right after downloading
I got my deck aweek ago! It’s great! I’m trying to figure out emu deck
dude, i bothered about rezolution details until i found it on every game ,go to Right settings and then to general and will see game rezolution, put it to 4k and boom now when u enter the game u have all the rezoltions , i found the 1600x1050 the best between quality and stress on components also depends on game
on euto truck simulator 2 the screen rezolution it s garbage, all change when i bumped up to 1920x1200 or 1600x1050 , prefer full hd but the deck gets hot 🔥
What console are you using in the vid when you are playing god of war?
What do you think is a better investment. Steam deck or a ps5?
ps5 obviously
great video! if i can ask, where did you bought the clear shell for the front?
It's from dbrand
Would have been cool to say why you don't like cloud gaming, because playing a game at 30 fps or 60 but with ugly graphic settings isn't worth spending a ton of money in a portable console imo.
See the appeal for something like this is the portability. You’ll never be able to get better performance from something as small as this in comparison to a PC or a console but those aren’t exactly portable either. The growth of handheld tech is moving very fast and it’s only going to get better. Personally, I’ve got a PC where I can max out graphics and fps when I want but the SD makes it easy for me to bring that gameplay when I don’t wanna sit at a PC or a console setup to play or when I travel and need something to do on the ✈️ Cloud gaming is not good enough for me yet since it’s so finicky right now. You need a great internet connection to get decent gameplay from that so I’m just watching to see how that evolves as well.
1:53 how's the latency with your bluetootearbuds?
I am planning to buy a steam deck, however im little bit doubting if i should go for the 64 gb version and buy a 2TB micro sd. Or go for the 256 and 523 gb storage. Because of their faster storage chip. What do you recommend?
64gb, and update the SSD itself! It's incredibly easy to do and significantly cheaper. You can get an anti-glare screen protector if you want too, but apparently it's not that big of a deal
2:07 Hey Phil Schiller your gamble is kind of starting to pay off?
I want to pick up a second one. Mine 512GB Steam Deck has been sent back after 2 months of ownership. The x button stopped working, maybe Hi-Fi Rush wore it out lol. But seriously they are taking a while to get it back to me and I am having Steam Deck withdrawals lol
512gb sd can be good value, 1tb feels like a rip off for something so small and easy to lose.
Hey! Great video. Loved your in-depth approach. Greetings from Ukraine.
3 weeks have , so far so good
great vid!
Anyone know how Fallout 4 runs. That's the main reason I want one. After playing Skyrim on the switch I have to play Fallout handheld.
Buying a steam deck when my 2019 high end pc breaks down 👀✌🏻 It’s still way better than a ps5 but etc so maybe I am going to buy the steam deck 3
I'm super looking forward to getting a steamdeck. I don't plan to play AAA titles on it so I'm not worried about it falling behind on quality. I have a series X for those so I don't have to worry to much about missing out on anything. The steamdeck seemingly fits everything I need from gaming right now.
As a family man and husband who is running a few businesses, the steamdeck is going to be my savior
Can you play multiplayer games on them like Call of Duty and stuff like that or is it only adventure games like assassins creed?
Love my Steam Deck
Is this on sale? Its very cheap in the UK. The basic model is only £350 which is like 430 dollars.
Can I continue my saved games from my PC to the steam deck??
Is it ok to use the deck while charging?
yes, of course.. no problem. this is the same as using in a dock. no worries.
GTA 5 can be downloaded on steam deck ? Or there is a subscription for that ?
I can't really access WiFi at home so is it still playable offline after I've downloaded the games. Plus is it possible to attach to a power supply at home for continuous play as the battery life apparently isn't great.
awesome review!
Thanks bud!
true about screen bezels, should have used bigger screen
Thanks for the summary!
My only worry is the display, I've been spoiled by Samsung's AMOLED displays, I'm worried I might not like how the Steam Deck's display look like in person 😅
I was concerned as well but honestly given what it is, the screen is fantastic, and you cant really tell the difference. I own an iPhone 12 that has an OLED and it ruined LCD screens for me for sure but, I assure you, worth the purchase 100 percent.
@@Crwzn Good to hear, I plan on getting one soon, mainly for emulation.
One more question, does it fill the hands when you hold it? my benchmark is Xbox controller (feels perfect), I had an Ayn Odin Pro but that made my hands cramp :/
@@ahmedp8009 Holding my Xbox controller today after two weeks of using the steam deck made the controller feel cheap and even smaller than I had remembered, the deck fits perfectly in the hands, I'm honestly surprised at how comfy it is given the massive size of the damn thing, this is also including the spigen case I have on it as well. I feel as if you'll be even more impressed that you would imagine.
Emulation is a backup for myself personally, as I am trying to play through a bunch of games on my steam library that I haven't gotten too yet - but from what I have experienced so far, Emulation is perfect on the deck, it has its flaws but man, It's nice to be able to play some older ps2 and xbox 360 titles on the go. Ive even been playing some DS and WII games, with little to no issues whatsoever.
Sorry to hear about your experience with the Ayn Odin Pro, Ive heard that same thing from a lot of people, hopefully the SD satisfies your needs, friend. Please keep me updated if you end up ordering/receiving it! If you have any other questions, do let me know!
@@Crwzn Good to hear! in fact, the larger the better haha
I LOVE handhelds ever since I remember, but we are kids no more, and almost all handhelds out there are too damn small!
I've seen videos of people complaining how huge the Steam Deck is, however that is the motivation I needed to pull the trigger.
Thanks for the detailed response :)
@@ahmedp8009 i’m turning 20 in a few weeks and i can remember as a little
kid playing the legend of zelda - the spirit tracks and super mario 64 on my DS Lite. Over the years I have amassed a collection of old games and consoles (mostly nintendo as i was a huge fanboy growing up.) the 2DS is one of the few handhelds from nintendo that is still bearable to me now in terms of comfortability, the steam deck goes overboard and blows that console out of the water and not sure if i could go back to casually playing any games on any of my other handhelds. The steam deck is what i have wanted, and i’m glad to have another handheld.
The size at first was intimidating, unboxing the deck was strange but holding it in the hands made me view it in another way, It genuinely works for me and I hope it works for you. The only complaint so far is the battery life but i can’t really expect a portable PC to have a long lasting battery haha. Best of luck man, I hope you have fun! Let me know what you think of it when (or if) you get it!
Is it legal to put your XBox games on a ssd and then load them on the deck?
Its gots emulators so carry on
Think the Fans are to loud to use on trains or public transport. Don’t want to annoy people 😂
Please I must know where you got that skin for the deck?
In desktop mode can i download emulators and roms? Instead of steam store
What's the name of that skin on your deck again 🤔
