Valve Steam Deck 512 GB

Long rambly review, and the picture quality is pretty trash, sorry in advance- I’m terrible at keeping things short and sweet. Longtime switch player, so a lot of my comparisons/views relate to the switch.Purchased from the seller BT-Wholesale.I initially meant to buy the OLED version (I misunderstood the listing and thought this was it, lol. Good old brain fog!) but realised after it shipped it was the LCD version that had been upgraded to 1TB. I didn’t wanna fuss over returning it and waiting even longer when I had been so excited to finally get one, I decided to keep the LCD one. The screen is significantly better than the LCD switch and I would say is almost on par with my switch OLED screen. The colours are vibrant and the screen gets much brighter than the LCD switch screen, which is what I assumed this screen would be like. The battery is significantly better than the LCD switch too, which I’m happy about, albeit less than the SD OLED battery is said to preform at, but it’s not a problem to me; I usually play my switch plugged in anyway, and I play this the same. I also have a battery pack holding case for on the go, so not a problem for me personally.The device works great after a minor hiccup; I had some issues with the physical controls not working at first, making me use the touch screen for the update and the update was not installing the first time (a restart helped the install go through on the second try and then the controls work fabulously since).My biggest “con” is the weight and positioning of the buttons (and the touchpad things) are definitely taking some getting used to coming from the switch which is significantly lighter weight, but that’s nowhere near a dealbreaker to me. I’m very happy with my purchase and it came with all accessories promised, though I have my own protective on-the-device case for it so I don’t use the silicone skin that came with it.I’d recommend this, and the seller, to anyone! I absolutely love my steam deck.

I dont normally write reviews but I was compelled to do so seeing some of the reviews.First off yes this is a higher price than buying one from Steam themselves but having different ways to pay via Amazon makes it easier to do for some people. But that's neither here nor there.I purchased the 1TB version and got it rather quickly. Machine booted up and everything has worked flawlessly. I did in fact have the proper storage and received all the extra items that they said I would receive. All and all I am satisfied with the purchase so far, if anything else happens within the first month or two I will update the review if possible.

Would not boot right out of the box. After several power cycles it finally booted. Once it booted everything was frozen. No buttons worked at all. No documentation provided at all. Everything I looked at online said to simply hit the “Steam” button or the “…” button to get started. Those did not work. After several more power cycles it went into “update” mode. It hung there for 2 days straight, never finishing. Now when it boots there is an error. This is a complete waste of a lot of money. I can’t believe it. Do they not product test these before selling them?????

Always wanted a steam deck. Now i can take this on the road, on vacation, i can watch movies, play games, listen to music and surf the net. Love it.

only complaint is the steam deck unit case is nothing but flimsy rubber. Like rubber gloves thin. Other than that, good deal.
