Valve Steam Deck - 1tb Console - OLED (UK) (PC)

Love this Steam deck! I can play some of my favourite games on the go such as Red Dead Redemption 2, recently some of the older call of dutys like bo1 with help of a controller, Fallout 4 which proforms pretty decently with mods. It's great to take on the go; however, the battery life can of course vary depending on the games you play. For example, I can play PowerWasher or House Flipper for a long time, but more demanding games like RDR2 or heavily modded Fallout can also decrease the battery faster but still get a decent amount of playtime without being on charge. However, it charges really fast. There is a desktop mode as well so you can use it as a semi normal computer however, the interface is Linux which as a non-techy Windows person, its not too bad to get used to

This is an impressive piece of kit. It is easy to set up and operate if you already have a Steam account and in minutes you can be up and running with your existing games. The OLED touchscreen has good resolution and is big enough for readability. Battery life seems okay. As a pure handheld there are a couple of downsides: it is quite heavy yet the thumbsticks seem to me not as robust as I would have liked compared,for example, with an Xbox controller’s; however a big upside is that it is easily connected wirelessly with an external controller, mouse and keyboard which greatly increases functionality. What you then have is a highly portable gaming pc that you can also use as a handheld. I would recommend getting an external Bluetooth keyboard as this simplifies setting up the handheld buttons for any particular game you want to configure especially for older games (which btw generally seem to run well). Configuring using the screen keyboard can be done but it gets a bit cluttered. Newer games, e.g. Baldur’s Gate 3, come pretty well configured already or you can download ‘community’ configurations readily. But even an old nail like Sudeki - originally a console game I think - runs and looks very well. One thing: this is not a toy. I don’t think it will tolerate much dropping from a height or too many sticky fingers. Much as I love him I wouldn’t lend it to my nine year old grandson while he can play on my other gadgets all day. Anyway he always beats me.

The steam deck oled 1tb is great to have as a handheld gaming pc cos I get to install my favourite games and play them I normally play my games on my gaming pc my home when I'm at my fiancé's home I get to play my games on the steam deck oled 1tb I also love the desktop on there which you can customise with a different skin for the keyboard and a different start up movie when you turn it on. I also like the amount of gameplay you can have with the battery and I also like the idea of HDR being on the steam deck oled. I definitely recommend this to other people who wants to buy the steam deck oled 1tb.

Absolutely amazing love this thing so much thank you.

Valve has done it again. In their ongoing mission to prevent you ever catching a glimpse of the outside world again, it seems they asked themselves "How can we ensure gamers remain glued to their screens while at least appearing to be going outside?" Ladies and gentlemen, they've done it. Let me start with, this chunk of beastly machine is more than a handheld; its a commitment. Have a girlfriend ? No you don't? Relationship free, so you aren't distracted? Good. Nor do you have time to shower. Your new side partner has a steamy name that requires 100% attention and nor do you have time to shower. Or even the weight of the system, let's throw away those bicep curls and get some gaming work out in. There's always that one friend who's an amazing party guest but who also leaves you feeling a little wiped out... or in this case, wiped out and poor. It plays just about every Steam game you'd want and will clobber your bank account like none other. Each game purchase is like Valve personally congratulating you on funding their "Take Over The World" effort. Battery life? It has battery life—just enough to fool you into thinking you can finish whatever you’re doing before the screen goes black and your hopes and dreams go with it. It’s like Russian roulette for your game progress. Fun! I mean come on, lets really talk about that part of a gaming console; the ergonomics put into it; or as I like to call it. "The Cramp Maker 3000" who knew playing your favourite games, could also double as you favourite medieval torture scene. But what's that saying, no pain no game; or something like that, right? Ultimately, the Steam Deck is the product you never realized you required, and in all likelihood don’t still. Be that as it may, who are you joking. Since some place, inside you—a spot light can never reach—you love or if nothing else adore feeling this much torment. You need this void emblem to light up your face in a faintly lit room, and feel it consume as you whisper: Just one more game. So don’t be afraid blackout the lights, The Steam Deck awaits, possibly your soul, just about all of your free time and definitely your battery life as it transforms into a soul sucking parasitic creature that loves to eat away time. But hey, you’ll at least be having fun right?

Received 5 days earlier than date, very impressed, no damage to the box, or container. All working ok, display all ok, All buttons working ok. Very happy with this machine.

Mailed and delivered in top condition well ahead of the ETA. Started up and tried some fallout 4 as a tester. All looking good so far. Small negative was the parcel force tracking number was totally useless. On an item that costs as much as this it's nice to have a warm fuzzy feeling that things are actually happening. But all good in the end.

Honestly great piece of tech the oled quality is amazing and the battery is pretty good - only issue is the weight and its awkward to hold after a while
