Technical Specs

7" touchscreen

Type and swipe through the Steam UI with Deck's capacitive multi-touch display.

Trackpads

Play PC games that were never designed to be handheld. With increased precision and customizability, trackpads also give you a competitive edge when playing fast paced FPS games.

Gyro

With an IMU and capacitive touch thumbsticks on-board, Deck helps you aim better. By physically positioning the device you can achieve more precision than using a thumbstick or trackpad alone.

Plays nice with all your accessories

Steam Deck is Bluetooth-ready, and its USB-C port can handle all sorts of I/O. Want to have a fighting tournament on the go? Covered. Want to play with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard? Covered. Want to pair your favorite Bluetooth headphones? You're good to go.

Deck can be plugged in to your TV

Deck can be plugged in to your TV, monitor, or even your old CRT if you have the right cables. When docked, the Steam Deck’s USB-C port can carry video, audio, input, etc. Just plug in your peripherals, or use the official dock, and you’re ready to go.

Is it using linuxunix? If so I'm out.

Oh it's on!

I wonder if these will perform better than the Steam Machines?

Is this a handheld or a hybrid since it can be docked and connected to the TV?

I don't think it poses much of a threat to the Switch due to the price difference. It should outperform it in terms of graphics though...

Absolutely insane specs. I can't stop fapping to it! Zen 2 + 1.6TF RDNA 2 for a PC handheld is nuts!

For comparison, GPD Win 3 which comes with Intel GPU costs $800-$1000. Aya Neo which comes with last gen Vega GPU costs $700. The $529 version is insane pricing when you take that into consideration.

It will flop. Valve never supports hardware very long anyway. Nintendo is undefeated in the hardware space and every competitor takes the same failed tactic over and over. More powerful and more expensive.

Also it looks like an Atari Lynx.

It is using Linux but it's a PC so I doubt there will be issues installing Windows on it.

Might wanna watch this when you get the chance:

It will be dockable but they're selling one later down the line. But any USB C dock works with it apparently. 

It probably won't be very competitive with the Switch as the Switch's selling point is its software and ease of use, but with the new OLED Model costing $350 and this being $399 with specs that slay the Switch's, it's kind of amazing what they're doing at this price point. Nintendo seems to favor more of a profit margin than Valve on hardware. 

It'll also be able to take advantage of things like Gamepass locally...which is also awesome. 

the biggest advantage that this system has is unlike any other handheld in the past. All handhelds had to build up a library and then after having some good games the average consumer would consider buying one.

But the Steamdeck doesn't have to worry about building up a game library as it has been doing that for almost 20 years.

I think Switch 2 will have pretty similar specs to this when it releases, just with Nvidia instead of AMD, except it will be cheaper because the cost of specs on par with this will lower by 2023.

I want this so bad even though I don't need it now that Tekken 7 runs on my PC , but will get it because I wanna give Gabe my money for those ridicules prices he does on Steam I bought more few hours ago. King Gabe.
