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.

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)

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.

Incredible Unit even if you own ever current console.
I had an expectation that the lower capacity steam deck would be glacially slow and only useful to people who played low overhead games in steam. I couldn’t have been more happily proved wrong. This thing is great. Let’s just go through the basics.Omg it’s huge! Yeah! It’s not just pro controllers that everyone pays more for on their consoles, it’s has everything. Full size joysticks… check… capacitive joysticks… yup… dual trackpads? What? Does it come with free lambo keys? Full size dpad and button set? Yup… l1,2,3,4 and r1,2,3,4 … yup… and if your finger are big old meat puppets… it still totally works. Blows the switch out of the water in control.Oh, but it’s steam… it’s complicated… nah… it’s as easy as gamepass and easier than whatever tier of psplus sony is slinging right this second.But it’s not powerful… log onto steam and look at all the great on deck verified titles.Let me break this down…. In general it’s more powerful than a switch. For controls, it’s even better than a PS5.The only way you will feel that this system is slow is directly comparing a game on one platform to the same game on the steam deck. The fact that the other platform will only play one game better really needs to be addressed.This system is absolutely worth the money.Start out with the free aperture desk job game from the steam store and move into some classics like portal before checking how long you have enjoyed the steam deck for, then consider if it was worth it.For me, this system is completely worth it.

Changed my review
I have been able to play world of warcraft, Elder scrolls online, Elden ring, and Many Games on this I wasn't expecting to be able to. Today I tried an Emulator, and was super impressed with that as well. The Steam deck does a lot! I bought a 1tb sd card to go with mine, and mines the 64gb version, but it was plenty, because it doesn't take much to have your files on another device. reduced the rating because the L1 button is already not reliable, Iv hardly touched it, so its probably a bit defective. Its too much of a hassle to send it in to be repaired. I mostly use this with a keyboard and mouse as a secondary computer. Despite all of the positive things Iv had said about the steam deck, this Seller buys these straight from valve and sends them to you. Valve by default has a warranty on their devices. This Seller didn't send me the default warranty that valve provides. Ill never purchase from this seller again. My L1 button is broken on the inside. It should still be covered by Valves default warranty, but when I Messaged this seller they didn't help me in the slightest. I reduced my star rating from 5 to 1 for this reason. Update The seller refused to give me the warranty information I requested. Amazon customer support stated they could issue me a refund with amazon credit, or credit the account I spent the funds from. they went back on their word, and I will never order anything through amazon again. If you are going to buy a steam deck, just buy it through valve, as they have good customer support.
