    A month ago, I had to RMA my Steam Deck due to audio issues. I was 2 months outside the warranty period, so I was kind of hesitant to contact them as money is tight right now, but I figured maybe try and see what they say. Valve replaced my Deck with a brand new unit for free! All I had to do was send in my old one. Even better, the new unit they sent me is the revised version! It has the black heat shield inside, along with better button haptics, and the better/quieter fan. Their customer service quality can’t be beat! :D

    Yes really frankly I think 12 months is way too small for warranties. You're talking about electronic devices that cost 500 bucks or more sometimes.. I know a lot of countries like Australia and possibly in Europe require at least two full years. The fact that people buy s*** and they break 15 months afterwards and they have no recourse. Thankfully the steam deck is a nice outlier in that repairs and upgrades are relatively easy m

    I was sold on pc handheld that’s not windows based. And to be honest this thing pushes the boundaries of what I thought it would be capable of. I’m playing Tekken 7 & 8 for hours with an external battery. Not some dummy version made for a handheld device, the real deal. I kept my lcd version just for emulation purposes when I got the upgrade. I bought my brother one because it is just that amazing. If you are PC savvy it can almost do anything. I hope Steam develops a phone to really nail down how great this thing could be with true portable chat and WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity. Game changing would be an understatement!

The steam deck itself is awesome coming from a switch oled u can right away tell the difference in resolution, ergonomics, and performance. Very comfortable, size is just enough for portability. It ultimately initiated me to build my first PC to be able to run those higher demanding games, along with the rumors of a PS5 Pro I just said fuck it and invested in a pretty high end PC.

    You can charge it and play the deck at the same time. It is design to limit the total wattage so the more wattage the deck is using to run the game the less will go charging the battery. Playing demanding games will take much longer to charge the battery. You want to get a power bank that at least put out 45watts. I'm using Baseus 65w for the Deck , phones, Switch ,etc.

    So I figured Id go for a preowned lcd Deck that was according to seller "very sparingly used" and in "supernice condition". Its the 256GB variation. Pictures looked fine. Some sweat residue on joysticks and parts of plastic where hand palms rest but no scratches. Seller had over thousand sales and 100% positive feedback. How are Steam Decks preowned, anyway? Im basically losing the warranty safety net in exchange for a lower price. Are they sturdy and can handle several owners? Is there something I should specifically ask seller before buying such as (for example): is it aduIt owned, has it been refurbished etc. Are they worth taking a gamble on? It went for 250 dollars, is that reasonable? Whats the red line for how much you should pay for one as used? Thanks in advance!

    I had both, but I sold the Ally because the battery is so bad that you end up being plugged in all the time. You need to be plugged in or at 20W+ to get better than deck performance. I might as well just go on my PC if I'm going to be plugged in. Plus, it was only a matter of time before the SD card slot died. ASUS has recently dodged questions from The Verge about the SD card slot, which is worrying. A broken SD card slot kills the resale value.

    @@V1CT1MIZED I have both and I play almost every game on the Ally at 15W. With that the batterylife is almost the same. If there is a game that needs the power I have to sacrifice the batterylife, but can play the game. The SD on the other hand starts to struggle. That’s the point why I’m selling the SD and keep the Ally. I mean if I’m on the plane or train I take my powerbank with me and just play for 4 -5 hours with 15W and 3 hours with 25W 🤷‍♂️

    My gf gave me a switch two years ago and I have been extensively playing it since then!! It's a great console, but I started getting annoyed when the games crashed and ran poorly a couple of times. I have a big Steam library sitting there, waiting for me to play some games. After these two years, I realized that Steam Deck is definitely a better option for me. I decided to buy one as soon as I finished playing all the games in my Switch Library.

    I’ve had my steam deck about 7? months now. I have windows 11 on it, and just upgraded my storage to 1TB. Love the deck so much! I got all my steam games, and World of Warcraft as well. Trick for WoW is to download the ConsolePort addon, load up, log out, disable console port and log back onto the toon, and you can still use the joysticks and use the original HUD. I tried the Steam OS and it’s okay… but windows is the way to go.

Also have been seeing the Ayaneo Pro and the Onex Player.

I have a gaming laptop plenty more capable than my deck, but having 4 kids and working a labor job, I somehow prefer handheld/hybrid gaming now, what started from the vita, then to the switch and 2 steam decks now. Plus with my Steam account since 2009, my backlog is crazy full. That being said you are right about expectations and reality especially from people looking at it face value.

    The Steam deck has been able to fill in an absurdly giant hole that the 3DS left in my heart, I had been primarily a handheld gamer for almost all of my life yet I made the transition to PC when I couldn’t keep up with the Switch when it launched, and even after getting one second hand, I simply couldn’t get into it as much as I loved playing Kirby Forgotten Land or Pikmin 4. But now I simply can’t get away from my Steam Deck, it’s everything I wanted and more.
