I’m 64 years old and I’m loving it. Playing lots of retro. Feels like yesterday❤

Man it's been like 3 weeks since I bought this thing and everything about it still feels right at home. I love the Deck, and the community around it, and Valve's relentless support. It's almost too good to believe it's real

The steam deck is what I wanted the game gear to be like back in the 90's.

omg I did not realize scuf had a patent on back buttons and tried to sue steam for it. thats absolutely insane im so glad valve won an appeal

Bro I’ve had mine for like two weeks and I have felt zero motivation to even sit at my desk and I have over 6k into my setup. I could absolutely see myself maining a steam deck. It’s so unbelievably good.

Dude, this video is so well done. I can tell you're really comfortable on camera which goes a LONG way in making you stand out amongst all the growing UKposts tech review channels. I hope your channel blows up!

Just came across this video, you have a way of keeping the watcher engaged. The music, the editing, your articulation. All around very nice work!

i been using it as my gaming PC and handheld Emulator for three months, nearly four months now and i have loved it every step of the way and the more steam updates SteamOS and desktop mode the more premium it feels... they keep improving the docked experience and i couldn't be happier... KDE plasma just makes me feel at home.

The quality of this video is insane. Hard to believe you only have 17k subscribers with such good content and editing. Also I absolutely love my Steam Deck. I fell off it for awhile after the honeymoon phase but just recently got back into it after I got the dock. My mind was blown when I saw I could play the original dead space at 4K 60 in docked mode. This thing is an insane value for the hardware and continues to surpass my expectations and surprise me every time I use it.

This is the best summarized review of the Steam Deck I've seen so far, and the quality of your videos is impeccable

The fact you can reduce the refresh rate is fantastic. There are so many features which are great for the tech savvy user, and I really appreciate that in an age of dumbed down lowest common denominator tech products (which also have their important place in the market of course)

I love how the Steam Deck is everything Valve has learned about making hardware in one package.

As a 34 old gamer since 1993 - agree with every word. Valve made dreams come true - it is an ultimate portable gaming pc/console with endless abilities. And main thing about it - steamdeck gives you new gaming experience even with games, that you forgot the’ve existed.

Just ordered mine! So excited to support such a pro-consumer device and company!

Steam Deck has been my favorite piece of gaming hardware I've used in my 30 years of PC gaming. Also, great Video. Well edited, great narration and script, and just altogether really well done! Good job!

The steam deck is my first PC since having a windows 7 laptop, and I love it, never going back to consoles again.

My favorite "console" of all time. This was a great video and I have and will continue to love my Steam Deck. It has really gotten me into PC gaming even more than before and I feel like I have seen the light (I mean the steam) of Valve and what they are trying to do here.

Wow, this was such a well produced review of the Steam Deck! Everything was spot on from the filming, editing, writing, and the actual review. You deserve way more subs and views! Keep going, you're going to do great things on this platform! Liked and subbed!

as someone born in the 80s. the steam deck is the most amazing piece of tech to me

Nice video content. I love how you took the time to talk about Valve's past to curent approach. I got mine Aug 2022 64GB model now a 2TB monster

your content level and editing level is as if you have a million subs well done my man!

Love the video, expecting my deck this week. Can't believe the quality of your editing/design for the amount of subs you have, really good job. Earned a sub here!

I love how simplistic the packaging is for the steam deck while still managing to squeeze in references, the case also saves stuff like foam and packing peanuts too which is nice

Well done, finally a review that puts things in context, with how it all started ten years ago, with SteamOS/Steam Controller/etc and how Valve put everything they've learned in practice. One thing that you left out though is Proton, which is one of the most important ingredient in the Steam Deck. Without it, the Deck would be just another (mini) Steam Machine with just a couple of games. The first Steam Machines were supposed to kickstart developers's interest in creating Linux games, and they did to some extent, but not nearly enough to fill the huge gap in the number of available games. Proton is filling that gap by just using the (majority of) existing Windows games, and by telling developers "OK, just develop for Windows as you normally would, we'll take care of the rest". Well, is a bit more complex than this, but that's basically it. Proton and related tools, the magic juice.

idk why i still watch steamdeck reviews since ive had mine for like 5 months now lol. its the best gaming device ive ever owned. being able to hop from my pc to my SD then back to my pc all with the same save is absolutely amazing.

The deck has caused me to legitimately begin questioning if I need a gaming PC anymore. I pretty much have only played games on it since I got it last year.

Alternative titles, Peter Parker uses a video games console.

I've had mine about two weeks now and I love it. Best money I've spent on something in a long time. My gaming library in the palms of my hands. So awesome.

Damn homie, I was sitting here thinking I was watching a millions subs youtuber and you only have 18.4k, that's amazing, terrific quality on your videos! subbed

Thank you so much for getting into the haptic controls. So many sites and videos take those granted as if these things were common sense but I think they’re the secret weapon against something like the switch.

i was on the fence for a while now, but this past week, i decided to do more research and came across your video. first off, great video, well put together, now i am a new follower! I am ordering mine today and can't wait to get it!

Wow as a deck owner since many months now, I totally agree with you. What a wonderful machine. An amazing video, keep up the good work man, you just gained a new sub 👏🏻

Solid work . Hope your channel continues to grow so keep working hard . 👍🏾

Got mine last week. Pleasantly surprised by the case included. Really enjoying Steamdeck so far.

Great review. Loving the Deck myself, but I'm just chiming in to say you deserve far more subscribers than you currently have. Excellent work! I'm sure your channel will grow substantially soon.

So did I. And my other consoles too. It‘s only Steam Deck for me since June 2022. Such a great piece of hardware.

I just went ahead and ordered the middle option of the steam deck because of the 10% off sale. I am pretty damn excited for it to arrive. I have two close friends who have owned one for quite some time and they are both very happy with it. Great video!

I've been loving all of the Steam Deck content on UKposts. The second a Steam Deck 2 drops I'm all over that bad boy!

What a fantastic video review of a device! You start with companie's history and them dive in on the most important aspects and even speak of smaller details. All this and even making it interesting to watch! I have a SD for a while now and I agree with basically everything you said. You forgot to mention that the display is also touchable, although if you are using the device for a while, the screen gets a bit hot and touching it is not so pleasant. The first game I tried on my SD was Shadow of Mordor, it works really good, didn't notice any breaks or frame drops. The fans did work and made a little noise for a while, but it activates only when you're running a powerfull game for longer periods of time. That being said, I was unsure to whether choose the SD of Switch but Steam deals and PC game prices sold me to the SD. Best choice I could ever made!

Damn dude, absolutely blown away at the quality of this video. Presentation, confidence, content.. S tier all around. Cannot believe you are sub 20K subs. You just earned another one from me though! Keep it up!

I could never give up my PC, but i want a Steam Deck so badly just for the emulation.

I have a powerful Linux-based PC I use for work and gaming. I have an M1 MacBook that I begrudgingly have to use for work whenever I need to be portable. Now though, I have a Steam Deck that is capable of doing everything my PC's able to, but portably. Valve has really put out a versatile little package with the Steam Deck. Appreciate your review!

Great video. I bought the Steam Deck last year as a temporary fill in for my ancient PC at the time. I've since gotten a new PC but I still find myself using the Deck more often than not because it's so convenient.

You are surprisingly well spoken even compared to other big techtubers, keep up the good work!

I know it's a nice video even before i watch it completely , awesome work man keep up the great content 👌🏻👏🏻🔥

First of all, amazing video quality, both presentation and resolution. I was on a fence about which handheld to buy, thought ill wait for ASUS ROG Ally even though I wanna mainly play indies on a handheld, and everything else is overpriced imo. But now I’m sure. You helped my decision, I’m going for the deck 😁

This video made me go place an order for one, Also looks like your channel is blowing up lately that's hype, great work

This video is so well produced and edited! Well done friend, makes me excited for a steam deck!

I went with the 512gb model and I am loving the system. I haven't touched my gaming pc in a while lol. Great review keep up the great work.

The Deck is actually so dope, you can customize it however you'd like 🔥

Brilliant review, thanks. This is a breath of fresh air as finally a company that genuinely offers so much at a competitive price without many or really any drawbacks IMO

Very well done on the video. I agree! I just got a Steam Deck during the Steam Summer sale and love it! I too and rediscovering games I already had but never played along with some great new AAA titles. I also love how companies take past failures and turn them into successes. I really appreciated that short history on Valve and it really shows you the difference that good leadership at a company can make. I feel Nintendo did this from the Wii U to the Switch and Valve has done this from the Steam Machine and Steam Controller to the Steam Deck.

Dude your reviews are excellent. Really well done 👍

Gaming on the steam deck reminds me of analog photography (whereas gaming on desktop would be digital photography). There's something about analog that is a breath of fresh air to the whole experience and makes me appreciate subtle things more. Same with the steam deck, I think you captured it beautifully when you said that the steam deck practically revitalized portions of your library that were gathering "digital dust". Games I lost interest in suddenly were at the forefront of my backlog because I simply wanted to see how they were handheld and then I stuck with them. I'm not too big on AAA titles or fast paced competitive games so it really has me questioning if I should keep my pc.

Great video, great review, loved the tone and vibes through it all. Very informative without being over the top. Thanks!

Bro the moment I realized you check the monitor above the camera quite often, I locked in to it lmao but overall quite informative video and I saw nice information which was absent in other creators' videos. thanks!

Great video! You're clearly knowledgeable, you did your research, and the review was well structured. Although you didn't really talk about the experience of actually using the Deck as a PC. You mostly talked about it from the perspective of a handheld, which is fine, but then why name the video like that? A follow-up video where you talk about the desktop mode and using it as a daily driver would be cool.

The joysticks & d-pad also work instead of the mouse trackpads in case you prefer to use that for whatever reason

It's fun to hear all the good stuff about the steam deck, and Valve being open and wanting you to explore their device is the best part about it! I bought the 256gb version this thursday and I am really hyped about getting my hands on it! It's the first time since the Xbox One that I've had this kinda feeling and excitement. I had a PS5 for 1,5 years but ended up selling it because it didn't really do it for me. I was more at my gaming pc and felt like it rarely got any use. But with the Steam deck it feels more like an extension of your pc, so when you want to relax you can just pick it up or bring it with you on a trip!

My man, great video, great production, great review. Just bought mine 2days ago, pretty excited

Such an overwhelmingly positive review. I wonder why.

Someday in the near future. Valve will be the leading head for gaming, we already have vr, portable, pc. We might get valve brand phones and other gadged like that

This was very helpful. I've got a great PC gaming setup and haven't really needed portable gaming, but now maybe I'm reconsidering. After this video I went to Steam and after a bunch of clicking Steam analyzed my actual library and listed which were "verified" and which were "playable". I already have enough verified and playable games to keep me busy for a long time!

You actually made me want to get a Steam Deck😄 I want to game at the end of the day but don't want to sit at a desk after I spent there all day working. Handheld seems like a good form factor to resolve this issue I have🙂Thanks for the video! It is great!

12:10 Agree 100%. Valve is the gaming company we should all be supporting.

Honestly I love what I’m seeing from the steam deck and really want one. I will probably wait for their next gen version or a pro version if it ever comes out.

Great presentation, love the edit and the explaination of hows and whys. Good job you earned yourself a subscriber.

I really appreciate your video, it's the way I like it, clean and direct. You really did a great job! Tks for the content! And steam deck is dream, I really wish I could have one. But maybe in the future when they launch it in Brazil.

My old computer is 9 years old. I didn't want to spend too much in a new computer, so I bought the SD instead. Such a great way to play the games! Even some games that gave me issues on windows are working fine on the SD.

ordered my steam deck while it's on sale and I literally cannot wait for it to get here. after using my switch for so long it's nice to see a company that actually gives a shit about its consumers

The quality of this video is so nice keep it up man👍👍

I have seen quite a few (shit ton) reviews on the steam deck. Even reviews from the big boys like mkbhd, uravgconsumer, and others. This guy I just randomly came across, blows all of them away. He has such a dave2d vibe from his voice to the way he articulates his thought. The music in the background was great, overall this dude nailed it, subscribed

I'm going through a similar realisation that since getting the deck I struggle to find a reason to even bother turning my PC on. I'm currently playing through Elden Ring and The Witcher 3 and am always blown away by how well the deck holds up on these titles when I boot them up. It's arguably the best piece of gaming hardware I have purchased in recent history and can even give it credit for revitalising my love for gaming

It's really one of the best gadgets I've ever had. I never liked the Switch, after BotW, I was just done with it. I would take it on trips and travel for work with not that much interest in using it. But with the Deck, I can play most of my PC games, then continue with cloud saves when I leave home. It really is a perfect compliment to gaming on PC when you're on the road a lot.

That’s a fine library you’re showing off there. Couldn’t agree with this video more. I adore my Steam deck. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted from a handheld.

I'm getting one the end of this month and I'm super excited I heard great things about it and it's the best thing to get into gaming PC!

Incredible video, love your detailed yet easy to follow review, keep it up! :)

Very nice video, do wish you'd gone over the performance a bit more but I think all your other points were touched on really well.

Great Video! I’m in the same boat: Preordered a Deck in May ‘22 just before going into college to use alongside my MacBook. It is SOOOOOO much faster than my pc, and a million times more convenient. If I still had my computer (it was my stepdad’s) I honestly don’t know how much I’d use it.

I love your review of this, and it absolutely speaks to my soul. The things you find the most important, I absolutely agree with. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one soon. Thank you so much for the video!

I have a Steam Deck and a gaming PC with a 4090 and… I mainly play on the Steam Deck.

Damn now that I think about steam has come a long way but process has only gone up rapidly. True pioneers of the gaming experience

First video of yours I've seen and you're a natural. You'll be at 1mil in no time. Amazing deck overview.

I don't usually post many things on videos, but gotta give credit where credit is due and I really enjoyed listening to your review on the deck, thanks for all the useful information!

Great video. Did you remodel your your room? I like the new background.

I wanted a cheap and powerful device like this so i bought one. and i got the dock for a better experience. and did some tinkering to get my basic windows programs and non-steam games to work

4:26 I think we don't mention enough about the included carrying case. This is so awesome from Valve to include this.

I got mine a couple of days ago and even though I never was big into PC gaming this is making me a believer. Thanks for the video

Just a suggestion: don't look above the camera all the time...

Great quality vid ! You think the 64gb won’t bring any trouble due to cache storage and stuff ? I am planning to put games on a big microsd but can’t make up my mind between 64 or 256…. Won’t do anything other than casual gaming (like with the switch).

damn !! solid review there !! great job man !

Hahaha, same for me! I only go on my computer to work on my video game project. The SD is a beast!

valve should make a mini pc variant of it

Been looking for at least a decent pc. Why spend that much money when I can get this thing for cheaper?? Sign me up!

I have had mine since August. I got it with the intention of it supplementing my desktop as well as replacing the PSP I have been using for emulation through the 16 bit systems and PS games and a smattering of various homebrew (gogo cfw). I absolutely love it. I have been playing on handhelds since the early 80s (look up Microvision, came out 45 years ago, a decade before the Gameboy). With them always being part of my arsenal. Even when I switched from home consoles to desktop PCs back in the early 00s, I have always had some kind of portable. It is stunning to see just how far we have come with these little things. The only thing I disliked was the design of the case. It should have been designed to hold the charger and dock. A simple compartment under the deck would have been perfect and since the dock uses the same exact cord as comes with the deck itself, it would only need to hold one of those. The case even has the space for it, but they used it to put that useless elastic strap on the back. Still the fact that the case is standard for all models, from the getgo, is great. This is, shall we say, not exactly common. So I did grab a third party case which has room for a charger, dock, controller and miniature keyboard/trackpad. In safe locations. I do use the Valve case when I am inside my house, since it is smaller and slightly quicker to use (the third party case has a separator between the halves of the clamshell and an extra element that protects the screen itself, great for being on the go, but if I just want to put the deck to sleep for a half hour and keep it safe from my cats, is overkill). But I transfer it to the larger case if I am going out. So that I have those things on hand. addendum: Ryse was one of the first games I played on mine as well, that game really is underrated and is still gorgeous (though I have noticed in perhaps the last year or so, a lot more love being shown to Ryse, I think a lot of people today who never played it much or at all, are looking at it, seeing that it still looks amazing and giving it a shot, I also think that a lot of people who played it when they were in middle school or high school then never thought of it again, are coming back and reevaluating it now that they are older, it came out a decade ago afterall, November of 2013). Along with 40k Space Marine. addendum 2: I grabbed the 256GB version, complemented with a 512GB card. Current number of games installed, 69. With ~30GB free split between the card and onboard storage. (I swear this is coincidental, I would own it had I intended to have that number show up)

Immediate subscribe. Awesome video and really summated everything I thought and felt about my Steam Deck. Excellently done!

Great review bro. I want one because I don’t want a have a big gaming PC rig. So Steamdeck really works for me. Probably gonna wait for the next model though. Thanks for the review.

A highlight of it is repairability. You can DIY fix/upgrade anything on it as long as it fits. Now, a really baller move from valve would be if a future steam deck iteration on a new CPU platform comes out (Zen4+), they keep the custom form factor the same as the original deck, so you can literally upgrade your handheld if you want to.

Everything I've seen on the deck is incredible. The only main complaint seems to be battery life, but that's honestly just what comes with playing games on a handheld. I cannot believe we live in an age where you can get into PC gaming for only $400. I mean the fact you can even use this thing for non-steam launchers and emulation, and self-modification is fully supported by Valve just makes it a no-brainer. Definitely going to be picking one of these up this next Black Friday if I can! I spend all day at a PC so I think this would be a great fit since I barely have the time or energy to use my gaming PC lately.

5:00 it's wild to me that USA still uses more than a century old electrical plugs
