I’ve been looking at similar offerings from Chinese manufacturers, but they usually come with compatibility problems, far higher prices, and Windows. My fiancée and I have already decided we’re getting one, since it’s just so perfect for what it offers. At this price point, with these features, and with Steam’s massive reach, this device is going to be a massive hit. This is how I’ve been playing my games for a long time now, and I can’t reiterate enough just how good Proton has become. It runs a new version of SteamOS, using the amazing Proton to run Windows games. This is an excellent value for money, and what’s awesome is that this is a Linux device (it can run Windows too, if you choose to install it, since it’s just a PC). You can also expand the available storage using the high-speed microSD card slot. There are three different storage tiers: 64GB eMMC storage for $399, 256GB NVMe SSD storage for $529, and 512GB of high-speed NVME SSD storage for $649, according to Valve. The device has an AMD APU containing a quad-core Zen 2 CPU with eight threads and eight compute units’ worth of AMD RDNA 2 graphics, alongside 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM. It starts at $399, and you can buy it in $529 and $649 models as well. It will begin shipping in December and reservations open July 16th at 1PM ET. Valve just announced the Steam Deck, its long-rumored Switch-like handheld gaming device. Update: It runs Arch Linux, and the Steam Deck interface is built on KDE’s Plasma.
