I’ve never been so in love with a handheld console since I was a kid and had my DS! I’m almost 30 and I feel like a kid again lol I’m playing old games I hadn’t played in a long time and newer ones I never got to play! I hope these things are here to stay! Steamdeck Oled Glossy is PERFECT!
Picked this up. Didn’t own original because I figured they would release something like this with a better screen / fixing bugs. And holy crap it’s AMAZING.
I own several portable gaming devices also and the Steam Deck tops them all mainly because of the Steam OS and the seamless user experience it provides vs. Windows handhelds ones. Linux has come a long way in gaming and as a desktop OS overall. I have switched to Linux also as my main OS and couldn't be happier to finally be free from Windows. 😁
Yo I really appreciate this video. I’ve been watching videos on the OLED Steamdeck and Ally ROG for three days now I literally had each one in carts on Bestbuy and Valve until just now 12/4/23 5:59 pm lol I was going back and forth because of graphics or battery life. But with you being so calm and your breakdown of everything I just bought the Steamdeck. It was hard because they were kinda the same price but battery life the screen and the fact I wanted a portable handheld that I didn’t have to stay plugged in to a outlet all the time plus the community and I felt like the deck will be around longer. I have both next gen consoles PS5 for the exclusives XSX for multiplayer games. Thx for your help!
man this video rocked. friend got a new job and spoiled me with a steam deck oled for my birthday, so i've just been binging content about it to hype myself up. this video was super chill and really reasonable/knowledgeable!
I have mines for about 4 days and I love it. It's the best. Probably the greatest handheld device I've ever had. I'm still going to watch your review to support your channel and if we agree or disagree anything it's all good to each their own. Keep up the great work
Hey Bro, keep on going! Your calm voice and chill attitude really stand out. Have been looking for some honest advice and don't want someone shout to my ears. You nailed it. Love the vid!
Tbh after endless research about which one to buy as my first "mobile gaming device" u are the one to make my doubt's go away. Great work dude, keep it on 😁
Finally someone else gets it just for that you get a sub my dude high specs aren't everything when it comes to performance but optimization with what you have to work with is key the reason why the steam deck out preforms both the Ally and the legion GO is the custom APU and the OS that was made specifically for the steam deck if the Z1 chips were custom made for these handhelds with a windows OS made for them then it would be the Ally and legion GO out performing the steam deck instead
I agree so much on the ergonomics of the steam deck it’s absolutely wonderful to hold compared to my switch or any other handheld. I REALLY hope Valve stick to there guns on this design when the inevitable steam deck 2 comes around I know the temptation will be there to make it smaller but we don’t want it smaller.
Awesome review. Very simple! Pretty much my experience as well. It’s my first gaming pc handheld and I’ve been playing cyberpunk w it quite a lot. And man.. it’s a beast. Also using it for emulation however I’m having issues location switch files 😭 but that’s not the decks fault. Subscribed bro!
Thank you, this was the video I needed! I was beat on the less preformance, but since Im a competetive gamer I realized im not gonna be playing seige, CS2, or tarkov on this thing. more just a casual emulation and older games machine for me. so intuitive for a handheld system running linux and thats why I got the oled over one of the windows handhelds.
Seems like you have come full circle 😜 Valve really understood what a handheld is for…to be a handheld 😂 and doubled down on efficiency. Definitely the right move. I hope the future decks will come out with a beefy CPU that can be attached to eGPUs when docked. Most games are GPU limited anyways so that would be really nice. The ultimate console really.
Great vid. I have an LCD and just bought the OLED and plan on gifting my LCD to my buddy for Christmas. I had the Legion Go for a brief minute because I was enthralled by the large screen but something just felt off about it software wise. I actually liked how it felt but Windows 11 was horrible and I guess I just like that the Steam Deck is a Valve product.
I’ve had the original sd and now the Ally. I’m loving the Ally but looking forward for the SD Oled. This is the video among the thousands I’ve seen that is mostly convincing me to buy it
Received mine yesterday. While I do think it’s amazingly optimized, I bought this, after returning the Lenovo Legion Go. Honestly, I think the Go is a FAAAAAAR superior product. The only thing I do not like about the Legion Go was exactly what you said, it was painful to hold. Besides that, the Legion Go just outclassed this machine to me in every way except ergonomics and battery life. For me, I would have kept it anyway but I just watched a 20 min video on installing GOG and I am not doing that, it’s just exhausting because I have game way beyond Steam and that includes Game Pass. So yeah, it’s a great machine but the closed ecosystem nature of it kills it for me and I am ok with Windows cause I am well versed in it.
Ah I see what you’re saying. I’ve owned a ton of devices (including the go) and I just really love picking up and playing, I prioritize that over most other things. And most other things are better (imo) on steam deck as well. We all got our preferences! Thanks for the watch!
Yes the legion go is superior when it comes to performance but the device is huge and uncomfortable, so much so that the correct way of playing it is by removing the controllers.. that’s a hard pass for me, if I go portable I want to play portable, if I want to play on a desk I’ll just get a gaming laptop.
Thank you for mentioning the streaming I have no Idea why people don't talk about how awesome that is. Run RTX and everything with awesome battery life in bed or wherever. Nobody mentions this. Anyway had to say that LOL good video..
Definitely. I got the talon grips steam deck ones on Amazon, like 15 bucks. They add a lot of grip to it, but be careful when applying mine has some bad spots. Happy 2 hear bro!😊
I like the video, I'll jump to another one and see if I like the other video and then you might own a subscription :D Who knows! Only thing I would say may be up the speed you talk a tiny bit but good video!
Mines out for delivery today. Can’t wait ! Just received it and it won’t connect to the discovery store despite it showing an internet connection. So disappointing. I didn’t think I would have to spend hours fixing something when it’s a console like experience
@@bengovrik no, still trying to find a solution. Not what I wanted to do for the first few hours of ownership. It may be going back as I’m pretty disappointed and remote play is a big part of what I want to do with it. But with out the discovery store, I can’t down load chiaki
I’d just like to say after 3 months of ownership and fixing that initial niggle in had with the App Store,it’s the best gaming device I have ever owned (I’m 42) my ps 5 has barely been switched on and my switch oled is for sale,in the last 3 months it’s worked flawlessly.
The windows handhelds just dont make any sense to me when you can get a laptop with better performance and cheaper for people who need something portable for those few games that wont run on the deck.
I hope one day we will look back and laugh at believing that 2.5 hours of battery is decent. Looking forward to the new gen batteries that are rumored to give 20-30 hours per charge and charge in minutes.
Although I disagree with you about the Asus Rog Ally, Windows works great i really don't get all the hate for windows 11. I use the os daily, I have the Rog Ally and I recently ordered the steam deck oled I upgraded from my 512gb lcd model. I will probably put windows on that too. The battery in the Ally isn't great but you are running a super powerful chip, the z1 extreme is a beast. I love both PC's they both have their quirks.
I just really like the ease of use with the new steam deck, it's really refreshing. Although, I am missing fortnite and cod haha, will probably dual boot windows
the display; people swear they can see the pixels. at a normal distance the pixel density is enough to make the whole image really nice. too many people only look at numbers and not real use case. i dont consider it a flaw that it isnt 1080p bc 800p already looks so good. combined with 90hz and a more efficient cpu, batt life is stellar. this wouldnt be the case with a 1080 display at the cost of less battery.
I literally wouldn't want it to be 1080p because I would have to turn all the settings for all my games to 800p anyways in order to maintain performance.
How can I make Detroit Become Human run well, with lips that sync audio, movement that doesn't feel choppy, and picture quality that doesn't look pixelated and fake? Aka how do I make it run as well as it does on a ps3?
I need an idiots guide to getting ROMs on this thing. I don’t know if I’m just not looking at the right places but nobody seems to say where to get the ROMs. Guides show everything but that part.
I’ve had the OG steamdeck but sold it coz it’s so big and chunky for my small hands. Got the Rog Ally and it was super comfy for me coz the weight and the size, plus some of thej games that I play aren’t compatible with the steam deck so windows had an advantage for me there. But valve released the OLED and I don’t know if I should return the ally and get the OLED. I really wanted that screen but, I’m afraid that the bulk and weight will bother me again. I heard that it was lighter than the OG, that really got me curious. I’m torn with the choices lol. Performance on Ally and the screen quality on steam deck. 🤔
I got the Limited Edition Steam Deck and returned it. For what it does it does very well, but it did not do what i wanted it to do good enough so i had to return it.
I mean the steam deck is great, but… Same money for an ROG Ally that can play games from Xbox game pass, epic, etc and has higher power makes this a much tougher decision than how you see it. The battery life is the big draw for this device imo.
@@bengovrik well, if nothing else, I appreciate that you give a confident opinion. Most reviewers seem hesitant to do so. But I would point out that the game availability is highly important. Forza, starfield, etc from Xbox, kingdom hearts games on epic. Those things are hard to ignore.
@@ccarr1025 eh just play it on your Xbox then. Not everything needs to be playable everywhere at the best quality possible. Limitations are acceptable when the product is great, unlike ally, legion go, etc
People give way too much credit to linux. Linux is a royal pain in the ass and i doubt many people could easily use it. What valve did with SteamOS is pretty incredible though. I can see that being the most popular form of Linux going forward. I’m guessing if they really wanted to they probably could have done the same thing with Windows.
Well it makes sense for certain professions, but yeah for consumers it’s not a good experience. But it allows companies like valve to make a specific software that runs perfect on “pc” hardware
@@J.P-Knowles the deck is still slow for me to wanna get another one. Ayaneo 2S > Honestly might get an OLED one tho just to have both. The decks battery life is firrrreeeee
@Skoolie300 bro how much speed do you really need to enjoy almost every game on a handheld this is not a home pc or a ps5 or series x it's a handheld, you complained about windows so valve gave you another option and a great one at that, every games doesn't have to be 60 fps ,120hrtz,and 1200p resolution, stop getting caught up in the whole specs nonsense and just enjoy gaming I'm 47 years old bro don't got time for all that speed nonsense I locked my deck to play all games at 45fps and all games on medium with tdp set to 12 watts and I have over 75 games on steam from triple AAA titles to indie games and they all run flawlessly to my eyes I don't care about it dropping some frames here and there I'm just happy to be gameing where ever I want.
@@J.P-Knowles first off I like GRAPHICS. Second you mad at me for what exactly? LOL go to bed. The steamdeck is okay not worth the price point for a 1TB rather pay a little bit more for something more premium and beautiful. Get you a 2S and you won’t attack me like this or anyone else HAHAHA
@Skoolie300 that's the problem with your sensitive generation nobody's attacking you or mad was just stating reasons why the deck is good enough for me you going on about some go to bed shit but I digress I won't be responding past this point cause you are an idiot in the highest form have a good one and stop being so sensitive bitch.
Dude you need to learn the difference between facts and opinions if you want this channel to grow. Calling out legion owners about ergonomi is dumb. Just becuase you didnt like it doesn't mean others will be the same. Ergonomic are a VERY personal thing I had the go and it felt fine. I just hated the horrible contrast and blacks of the ips
PC handhelds over the past decade have always been trash. They all have the exact same problem that rendered them all obsolete and they NEVER learned from it Steam Deck/OLED is the first and only PC Handheld to provide an actual competent portable experience that can rival Nintendo The reason why erry PC handheld has failed, is bcuz they keep throwing in super high resolutions and refresh rates that the hardware CANNOT handle, freakin RGB, and ALL of it powered by a battery that simply CANNOT keep up Power efficiency/battery/playtime is what makes a handheld superior, not 'muh power' or crazy high specs. They build them like Laptops, not like Handhelds. Batteries will ALWAYS be the bottle neck of erry handheld. Handhelds will NEVER be on par with laptops or desktops, and they refuse to understand this. They refuse to make the necessary sacrifices to provide a competent portable experience The only reason people know about the "ROG Ally" and "Legion Go", is bcuz of the fad of the PC Handheld market that Valve blew up
I've been thinking of getting the Ayaneo 2S but just ordered the Steamdeck Oled instead, I found more parts for the previous Steamdeck LCD version which I could purchase and repair the Steamdeck myself, whereas for the Ayaneo once I purchase it I'm doomed.
@@thelittlecousin5211 not really if you put in the time to learn it you’ll be way more happier with the 2S. The premium feel of it alone feels 10x better than the deck. The light up joysticks with the glass front? Unbeatable bruv 🤝🏾
@@Skoolie300 I agree it is a premium device, my point is if it breaks their's no where I could find parts for it, I've search a lot, therefore if I can't repair my device myself I prefer not to purchase it specially it's pricy. Same for gpd once bought you don't get parts easily.
I’ve never been so in love with a handheld console since I was a kid and had my DS! I’m almost 30 and I feel like a kid again lol I’m playing old games I hadn’t played in a long time and newer ones I never got to play! I hope these things are here to stay! Steamdeck Oled Glossy is PERFECT!

Well said. My thoughts exactly.
SDO is jaw dropping and amazing. A few tweaks to some minor bugs and compatibility issues it will be 10/10. For me it's a 9.5 system.
the 1tb model is still very bright and the colors pop,enjoying it a lot
Totally, I bet it’s great
I sold my OG deck couple months back. I had a feeling something was going to happen. $550 through ebay. Future me is goated.
Seems like you have come full circle 😜

Calling out legion owners about ergonomi is dumb.
Just becuase you didnt like it doesn't mean others will be the same. Ergonomic are a VERY personal thing
I had the go and it felt fine. I just hated the horrible contrast and blacks of the ips
Ally went back within a week. The build quality was terrible felt like a shitty china toy.
Lol I agree it's like aokzoe make it lol
PC handhelds over the past decade have always been trash. They all have the exact same problem that rendered them all obsolete and they NEVER learned from it
Steam Deck/OLED is the first and only PC Handheld to provide an actual competent portable experience that can rival Nintendo
The reason why erry PC handheld has failed, is bcuz they keep throwing in super high resolutions and refresh rates that the hardware CANNOT handle, freakin RGB, and ALL of it powered by a battery that simply CANNOT keep up
Power efficiency/battery/playtime is what makes a handheld superior, not 'muh power' or crazy high specs. They build them like Laptops, not like Handhelds. Batteries will ALWAYS be the bottle neck of erry handheld. Handhelds will NEVER be on par with laptops or desktops, and they refuse to understand this. They refuse to make the necessary sacrifices to provide a competent portable experience
The only reason people know about the "ROG Ally" and "Legion Go", is bcuz of the fad of the PC Handheld market that Valve blew up
AYANEO 2S >
I've been thinking of getting the Ayaneo 2S but just ordered the Steamdeck Oled instead, I found more parts for the previous Steamdeck LCD version which I could purchase and repair the Steamdeck myself, whereas for the Ayaneo once I purchase it I'm doomed.
@@thelittlecousin5211 not really if you put in the time to learn it you’ll be way more happier with the 2S. The premium feel of it alone feels 10x better than the deck. The light up joysticks with the glass front? Unbeatable bruv 🤝🏾
@@Skoolie300 I agree it is a premium device, my point is if it breaks their's no where I could find parts for it, I've search a lot, therefore if I can't repair my device myself I prefer not to purchase it specially it's pricy. Same for gpd once bought you don't get parts easily.
Followed you on IG bruv!
Appreciate u bro
