The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- It comes with a carrying case, so you can actually take it places without worrying about damage.
- The 64 GB storage is on the smaller side for a game library, so you'll likely need to manage your installed games or add external storage.
- At 1.46 pounds, it's reasonably portable but not pocket-sized, so you need a bag or backpack to carry it comfortably.
As of today, the Valve Steam Deck is overpriced at $979 — versus a $633.44 typical price and a $419 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
