It is worth it, if you use it a lot. Don’t buy it if you just use it a few times per month. As a local semi truck driver, some of these places take 2-3 hrs to unload our trailers. So I use it a lot. It’s also good to pass the time.

A month ago, I had to RMA my Steam Deck due to audio issues. I was 2 months outside the warranty period, so I was kind of hesitant to contact them as money is tight right now, but I figured maybe try and see what they say. Valve replaced my Deck with a brand new unit for free! All I had to do was send in my old one. Even better, the new unit they sent me is the revised version! It has the black heat shield inside, along with better button haptics, and the better/quieter fan. Their customer service quality can’t be beat! :D

I bought a deck after seeing one of your videos. Even the comment section was filled with support. Since getting it about 2 weeks ago I gotta say it's been pretty damn cool.

No intro straight to the point video and most importantly showing games with tittle! Keep it up. Good content. You earned my subs buddy!

I got one thinking it would help my backlog... only made it bigger 🤦‍♂️

I was sold on pc handheld that’s not windows based. And to be honest this thing pushes the boundaries of what I thought it would be capable of. I’m playing Tekken 7 & 8 for hours with an external battery. Not some dummy version made for a handheld device, the real deal. I kept my lcd version just for emulation purposes when I got the upgrade. I bought my brother one because it is just that amazing. If you are PC savvy it can almost do anything. I hope Steam develops a phone to really nail down how great this thing could be with true portable chat and WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity. Game changing would be an understatement!

I got one when they had their 1st anniversary sale, and I don’t regret it. Even with the release of the OLED, I’m very content with my LCD version, it just works and even if a game doesn’t work immediately, people have figured out ways to get them to work just fine.

The amount of modding and things i can play and add to my steam deck oled through linux is so user friendly and fun learning how to code.

I just got mine in the mail on Tuesday. I got the top tier OLED. I'm so happy to finally own a steam deck. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's so cool having a Linux PC in handheld

My gf gave me a switch two years ago and I have been extensively playing it since then!! It's a great console, but I started getting annoyed when the games crashed and ran poorly a couple of times. I have a big Steam library sitting there, waiting for me to play some games. After these two years, I realized that Steam Deck is definitely a better option for me. I decided to buy one as soon as I finished playing all the games in my Switch Library.

Traded my Series X back in November of 2023 best decision ever no regrets! I play everything on here more than I did my Xbox I’m blown away it even exists.

I’m stuck on
Nioh 1/2
Fallout 4
Diablo 4
The division 2
Horizon zero dawn
Divinity original sin 2
Dicey dungeons
Brotato
Inscryption
Titan fall 2
Read by daylight
It’s crazy I’m playing GOATED games like these and more on a handheld! It’s great if you’re traveling or if you’re always on the move. If you’re a parent, a truck driver, can be down time during breaks at work or school. This was my first real experience at PC gaming and building a library. I’ve been a Console player my whole life and an Xbox user for 15 years I can’t praise enough.

Dude you are great. You brought some good points which aren't in many other videos like adding wireless controller wake. Also you don't have many filler words and are a great communicator. Subscribed

I borrowed my brother-in-law’s deck for about a month and loved it so much I went hunting for my own. I managed to find an OLED deck with a kill switch case included for just over $400. I’m so thrilled to have my own now, as this is my first dip into “PC gaming” as a lifelong console guy

[LegionzGG]

Playing my ps5 and xbox series x on The deck Daily. Playing indies natively and watching movies at night. The deck oled covers everything for me. It also opens up The tv screen for me while playing on The couch. Chefs kiss😊

[Marcelouk]

So tempted to get one... after selling my switch oled last year I was thinking about getting another one but the more I see on the deck the more I want one!

[DjEloy]

I am doing some research on maybe getting a steam deck (never owned one yet) and this video is right on time and VERY helpful. Thank you for mentioning you can hook it up to a TV, i wanted to know that! 👍👍

[StallionX]

I'm about to buy an og steam deck, it's nice to see a newer review since many of them are months or years old already.
I had my boubts, but I mostly think the same way as you, especially in the fact that you do not requiere to buy new games since it's literally just another pc to play in.
Now I'm confident in buying it, thanks.

[complextheory]

I'm getting my refurbished lcd on Friday! Sooo stoked :)

[Aspire]

Rarely switch on my PS since getting a deck. Never thought I'd see the day

Gonna grab this OLED baby for my birthday ❤
