I have to disagree with that advertisement. PC gaming means more than just playing games on SteamOS or Windows. Even the PS, xbox, switch, etc. are computers that you game on. PC gaming is also better performance and using a mouse and keyboard, neither of which make the Steam Deck the best or easiest way to get into PC gaming. I have a PC and I consider the Steam Deck a handheld console, because it is. If what you want is PC gaming and not just a way to play games from Steam, then a miniPC can give you much better performance at a much cheaper price. If you just want to play most games on steam and be portable, then the Steam Deck is a great console for that.

Werent many good games on sale, I think I got 2 just to try and I want to return one of them, but it is one of those scam games that make you spend more than 2 hours in the tutorial

It is way more comfortable than other handhelds like the Legion Go and the Ally(Asus 🤮), but definitely not as comfortable as being able to hold just a controller.

I am seeing much better discounts on microsd cards than NVMe upgrades. Best NVMe discount I have seen was only $30 off at 2tb, but I the 1tb microsd cards have some at half off on Amazon.

The downvoting i have gotten just shows how toxic this community is, and why I have had to start telling new SD owners to avoid this sub.

That’s cool, not relevant or true, but cool

The funniest part is it has been people who don’t even have the LE that have beentrying to make people think most LEs have bad screens. My guess is that it is a coping mechanism for not being able to buy one

I know a lot of people would put battery length as their number 1, but my number 1 is the weight reduction. That difference of 53g from the LCD to my LE OLED is extremely noticable if you actually do the portability part of handhelds. You can always grab a portable charger for the battery, but I haven’t seen Steam Deck replacement wrists yet.

This sub is toxic af, and it spreads. Definitely ignore most of the people here if you want to have facts and be happy.

Dead pixels are in the extreme minority, it’s just that you are going to hear about almost 100% of those cases. Same reason having cashier and store ratings on receipts is a terrible idea, because everyone who was upset will submit a bad rating, while very few who were happy will bother saying they were happy. “Misery loves company”.

Tbis makes me no want a Samsung panel at all, pretty petty for such a big company.

I hate when they change the ingredients in my drugs and pretend its “the same product you love with a new look”.

A lot more, very noticable by both feel an being able to hear it grind at the joints when it does it. I checked others and it just seems to be what you get for making the shell the way they did. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone had their shell break from holding it on one end too often until it gives up

The LE shell is chintzy compared to the regular, that is why it is so much lighter. Already shopping for a replacement shell.

I am curious and can’t agree with the winner part until i know, is there a reason she refers to him as “your son”? That is a very distant and separating way to refer to him.

Unfortunately the LE shell is chintzy af, so I’m swapping it out. Only got the LE for the orange, but didn’t expect I’d be immediately getting rid of the case and the shell for better ones, so I really did pay $30 for the orange and thats it 🤣

That is the downside, the LE shell feels pretty cheap, so I am already shopping for a replacement. I only wanted the orange accents because I am a San Francisco Giants baseball fan lol

Definitely not worth it over the OLED. If they bring the price down to $250 and you have sensitivity to OLED screens, then go for it.

You’re right. I’m not arguing. I am stating a relevant fact for a valid reason.

The weight for sure.
