Product Description

  • Portability meets power
    Steam Deck is partnered with AMD to create Steam Deck's custom APU, optimised for handheld gaming. It is a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 powerhouse, delivering more than enough performance to run the latest AAA games in a very efficient power envelope.
  • Thumbsticks and triggers
    Best-in-class thumbsticks with capacitive touch sensor built-in - provide a level of precision and comfort not found in other portable gaming devices. Analogue triggers provide a full range of input for the best experience - especially in driving games.
  • Grip buttons
    Four user-assignable buttons on the back of the deck put the next level of control right at your fingertips while keeping your thumb firmly planted on the trackpad or stick.
  • Handy trackpads
    Play PC games that were never designed to be handheld. With increased precision and customisability, trackpads also give you a competitive edge when playing fast paced FPS games.
  • Gyro feature
    With an IMU and capacitive touch thumbsticks on-board, Steam Deck helps you aim better. By physically positioning the device you can achieve more precision than using a thumbstick or trackpad alone.
  • 40W battery
    Steam Deck Gaming Console's onboard 40 watt-hour battery provides several hours of play time for most games. For lighter use cases like game streaming, smaller 2D games or web browsing, you can expect to get the maximum battery life of approximately 7-8 hours.

        64gb is only good for indies and retro emulation. Otherwise grab a 1tb ssd and upgrade it.

    • anthman on 05/12/2023 - 10:14
      +26

      What people do is buy this version, then make either or both upgrades:
      1. Remove the 64gb SSD (2230) and install a 1TB or 2TB SSD - these are from AliExpress (SN740, for example) - runs about $180-200 for the 2TB.
      2. Install a large microsd - e.g. Samsung Evo plus 512GB, SanDisk extreme /pro 1TB

      The install of the SSD may seem daunting but it's quite doable, just need to watch the many videos, have the right screwdrivers and take your time.

      Having said all that, the new Steam Deck OLED has been released and by all accounts is amazing. The issue is getting one into Australia. This deal price of $628 is about $60 cheaper than the average deal price in the past - given the newer model is out but hard to get, I don't think this discount is that great.

      If you are despo to get one now and don't mind too much for the newer model (read up on it!) AND wouldn't be willing to spend the extra $200 or so to get the newer model, then carpe diem my friend, carpe diem and spend more time gaming!

        The problem is that Valve rarely update the windows drivers and the custom SOC isn't supported by the normal AMD drivers, so you run into games that wont run with the old drivers, even once you install third party software for fan and controller support. If you want a local gamepass machine get the ROG Ally.

    • lilchonk on 06/12/2023 - 20:54

        • lilchonk on 07/12/2023 - 15:19

          Yeah i understand. I'm an at home steam deck player so I stream my PC through Sunshine and it works surprisingly well. I do have an asus router which helps a lot too as my home pc is too far away for ethernet.

          I think Xbox will 'greenlight' some support properly eventually. They are going through a few changes next year so hopefully that gets sorted as more and more people get rog allys and steam decks.

  • nedski on 05/12/2023 - 10:21

    I think a fairer price for this in light of the Ally, Legion Go and the OLED steam deck should be closer to $400. Not saying that OP has any input on the price of this though.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/12/2023 - 10:25
      +6

      Everything you mentioned is more expensive.

      Also, Ally melts micro sd cards and has a lot shorter battery life.
      Legion Go has issues with controllers sticking and usbc getting hot af when charging while playing.
      OLED is currently over 2x this price when buying from local companies that are importing them.

      I don't see how any of thoseshould drop this to over $120 below what its pre-gst and shipping cost rrp

      • saitaris on 05/12/2023 - 11:18

        SD card issue is fixed on new builds of the Ally I believe.

        Battery life is shorter, granted. But it's also a much nicer screen including VRR, and runs games much better when connected to power. If you primarily play on the go without a battery pack, a Steam Deck is a better choice due to far better efficiency at 15W. If you can bring a large power bank, or play at home with power access, an Ally is a better choice (IMO).

        • Jklaro on 05/12/2023 - 13:11

          I probably bite when ally drops to $1000

    • The Value on 05/12/2023 - 10:37

      It's $US399 and isn't available here officially. It's never going to be $AU400.

      A Switch costs $400 here.

      • nedski on 05/12/2023 - 23:12

        The $399 version is the 256gb model. My point about it it being $400 here takes into account that the 64GB model has been discontinued.

  • rainwry2000 on 05/12/2023 - 10:41

  • Scallyswag on 05/12/2023 - 11:10

    From a different handheld page -

    When I saw the recent retro handheld post here I did a deep dive comparison into all the handhelds. Ended up buying the Ayn Odin 2 (pro) that is newly released from their page which ended up about $600 with a case and screen protector shipped. It does everything up to Switch (- PC games). I personally wanted a handheld primarily for all those systems in a device (including android) and will keep the PC games for my desktop set up.
    Biggest differences between the steam deck are more portable size and much longer battery life though no PC gaming (Xbox and ps3 emulation arent great anyway)
    Let's be honest you'll likely be connected to a wall with this thing playing the latest games given the 2~ hour battery at which point I'd just use a desktop

      • Argenteus on 05/12/2023 - 11:51

        Buried in the legislation that ACMA oversees - the 'simple' version is by following the Rules to follow.

        The most direct reference is under ACMA's powers with the call out to issue permits for 'unlabelled equipment'.

        The Equipment Rules are a fun read, if you want to go down into the legislation itself. It's a bit of a web however, and requires reading other things like the Labelling notice(s).

        That all said - it's one of those 'your risk of being caught, and then actually fined are almost nil' - but IMO the entire category of legislation needs to be fixed (there's no exemption for overseas travellers bringing their non compliant mobiles with them, for example).

        • Clear on 05/12/2023 - 13:14

          your risk of being caught, and then actually fined are almost nil

          That risk lies with whoever imports and sells the device in Australia. For you to purchase or import for personal use is not illegal.

            @Clear: This is incorrect. Possession of a device is included in the equipment rules.

            Separately, importing it yourself makes you the supplier. Even if only for your own use.

            There is a list of exemptions in the equipment rules, personal use is not one of them.

          OP is literally saying “wait for the OLED version”. Australia is not “being given the shaft”. We’re a tiny market that Valve won’t bother with thanks to the ACCC.

          Yeah, preorder the OLED for $1300 or buy the the original for less than half, which further highlights the ridiculousness of waiting for the next big thing as if there will be some big payoff.

            @aja12: So waiting 5 weeks for a better model is considered ridiculous? The PC builds that take 5 to 10 days to build here, is that ridiculous too or is the cut off somewhere in between? This isn't the same as "New technologiy to be announced sometime soon" and then have to wait 18 months for the product to arrive. It is in people's hand and you can order it right now.

            When comparing prices for older model bottom tier vs newer model middle tier, you might expect a price hike. I don't think the OLED price is good value for money, so I'm not interested. However, you can order it right now, and you are getting more than just it being newer.

              @FabMan: Waiting 5 weeks and paying more than DOUBLE is fine if you want the latest and greatest, but saying “just wait for the new model” is ridiculous when you are completely ignoring the cost differences.

              “Don’t buy the Steam Deck for $630, buy the OLED version for $1300 because it’s better”. No shit it’s better, and you’ll pay for it. Not a hard concept to comprehend.

        Seriously though, wait for Switch 2 unless you're loaded or desperate to play the last few years of first party games. It'll be out in less than 12 months, I 100% guarantee it.

      And probably at double the price makes it much worse value. All the "better" in your list, aren't revolutionary better, just slightly improved.

      Personally agree. But someone might need this as a Christmas gift.
