I’m really wanting to buy a steam deck. Have the switch and love the comfort of playing on couch with dog and gf while seinfeld is on, but I really am starting to feel limited and want to play bigger games. The steam deck seems perfect but I keep hearing about this fan. I know they said the OLED has made significant improvements on this, but if you have one, how loud is it really? I’ve seen the videos and seen the db readings. But in real life practical use….is it going to bother my fellow cohabitants? Also traveling a lot and sharing bed with gf in quiet room. Any experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Don’t play games at 15w and it should be ok
Fan isn’t too bad, unless you put something really demanding on there then of course it will heat up. No device of this caliber will be silent unfortunately, but if you have a desktop or laptop you can stream from it with little stress on the steam deck hardware.
