It looks like a great device. But the build quality seems more like a prototype in terms of rigidness and quality. Will wait for a revision. The next one supposedly has a improved battery and screen.

I thought it didnt look great but in hand it feels good . For what it cost to be honest its an absolute bargain . Played Spider-Man and call of duty absolutely fine and to be fair I was stunned on how good it was .

Cant argue about the price its very good. What they have done to the software not needing windows is also great work. The community does the work for them also. Very good way to go keeping it open. Imagine if sony and microsoft did that to there console.

Best thing is it already has a massive modding community and no doubt someone will release a better battery and screen eventually. Its certainly a step in the right direction and the architecture inside is very good and you cant build a pc with new parts for 450 that gives you the same performance. Yeah there are other handhelds with better specs but cost over 1k . Its also great that Linux is taking off like it has ,, said a few years back it was the future of pc gaming and the future looks good for Linux support going forward . Even tried steam os on my desktop and although not perfect its regular updates improve it with each update

Sony is really stupid not making a handheld again similar to this. They have the capability and know how. Same with samsung they have top of the line hardware they could make one with higher quality.

Lets be honest Sony sux . They way they are crying at the moment over call of duty is pathetic, if they made a handheld it would be locked down expensive and a waste of time

Absolutely loving the steam deck . Anyone interested in pc gaming should buy one its unbeatable value
