The Steam Deck OLED and the Steam Deck LCD are still my recommendation for most people who want to dive into the PC handheld space. And you should buy a Steam Deck in 2024 if you're in the market. Most games run relatively well, especially for the age of the handheld. Take into account the continuous development and improvement of the handheld and it's custom AMD APU and it's continuously impressing it's user base.

  • If windows wasn't so awful for handhelds I would choose... Something... But, Steam doesn't directly interfere with your gaming experience.. It doesn't randomly decide to replace your drivers with generic ones that don't work.. It doesn't randomly shut down your Deck for a 'critical update'.. It doesn't magically decide to run a bunch of random junk in the background even though you've shut everything else down.. And it doesn't shove ADs in your face when you open the home menu or file explorer... Windows does all of that... SteamOS doesn't

    Earlier this year, I bought a Steam Deck OLED 1TB for my birthday and I have to say, I’m absolutely in LOVE with it. So much so, that I find myself not playing my gaming PC as much. The Steam Deck is just more fun to use.
  • @tyronepalma3854
    Got a steamdeck a few months back. Am super happy with it. Even use it with mouse and keyboard in desktop mode
  • @J1m03
    I got my oled used 3 weeks ago local for $450. Seller had even upgraded the SSD to 1Tb he hot a legion Go and he said he liked it more due to the games he plays that require windows. For what I play the deck is perfect! Indies, RPGs, and some shooters. I don’t need more. I haven’t turned on my pc in the 3 weeks I’ve had it. I love it. I haven’t had a console that makes me feel like a kid opening up my PS3 on Christmas Day again lol. The steam deck has brought my love back for gaming. I’m 21 now so I guess im at that age where life starts to ramp up and little time for games between work, My girlfriend, and family.
  • @RBonYT
    Just ordered my Steam Deck today and I'm really excited, and this video just makes it even better.
  • @victorromero8010
    I love my Steam Deck OLED. Been enjoying fighting games’ CPU VS CPU modes as well as EmuDeck.
  • @mojachay
    nice content, earned a sub. Getting my steamdeck oled delivery today!
  • @ryuno2097
    I love my Deck too. Like you said, I love the ease of use the Deck offers, I love using SteamLink to stream on my laptop without the need to have a monitor , mouse and keyboard plugged on the Deck. I hope when Valve makes the Deck 2 the batter life could last minimum 5 hours without tinkering any of the performance settings. (i hope battery technology has improved in the future too)
  • @iiFuture
    I added a grip case & thumbs sticks and my Steam Deck OLED feels amazing.
  • @lordrahl7033
    I got into handheld PCs several years ago with the Win 2 and have gotten EVERY handheld since. This includes the original Deck as well as the OLED deck. The most recent devices I've had is Ally z1 extreme, legion Go, Win 4, Win Mini, as well as various Aya and onexplayer devices and out of all of them, the OLED deck is the one device I keep going back to. It might not be the most powerful, but it gets the job done with the best display and the least amount of jank.
  • @soiltek2015
    Great video. Thanks for highlighting the cons.
  • @o0junglist0o93
    It's without a doubt the best handheld. The battery life and screen on the OLED are second to none. The ergonomics are almost perfect, finally, symmetrical joysticks I ❤❤❤
  • The biggest benefit you get with the Deck is all the deeply integrated software support from it being manufactured by Valve (the biggest distributor of PC games) and because of that having a huge push to make games distributed on their plaform work on it out of the box whenever possible The portable version of SteamOS it uses even has a dedicated tab for games fully Steam Deck certified in your library page so you can quickly get to a list of games guaranteed to work great on it
  • @zrzmtz93
    I can't put my SD down and suits my life perfectly. Happily playing elden ring, cyberpunk, balders gate 3 and red dead 2 😁
  • @rahulrao3568
    Man. Im 3 videos deep in your channel and gg. The MOST detailed and thorough reviews for each handheld i have ever seen. Without the fluff and vagueness. Loved how the video is divided into relevant segments and the overall pace and ambience/set up of ur videos are so clean. Keep it up man❤
  • @Logan-qi4nx
    I will never skip a video glazing the Steam Deck, it deserves the hype and has changed the way I play games forever
  • @SamusEny
    I absolutely loved my legion go for the 12 days i had it before it bricked itself, turned it off one evening and the next day when i turned it on it would just hang on the book screen, couldn't even use a windows restore point or factory reset it would just say your pc has run into a problem and restart and then just hand on boot again, returned it to amazon and bought myself a steam deck and i have to say I'm not disappointed at all it might be slightly older tech but for what im using it for you would never notice
  • Excellent review I am totally going to get the 256gb oled model this fall for a future next fall vacation trip. :)
