I have a top end PC and I haven't gamed on it in months. Steam Deck is my #1, there is just something about gaming in bed, at the park, on the train that makes it so spectacular. I sort of compare it to reading a book. Its just a quick thing you can pop on and play for 15 minutes or 5 hours.
First mention of portability was it's use on the toilet, was thinking typical Kev, and then it turns out that they were the first words I saw on the inside of the box! Valve must know their Audience.
The issue with the Internet was a bug that was fixed you need to go to the settings and download the latest update when you first initialize the steamdeck it downloads any hardwere updates but by going to the settings tab u can download all the software updates
Can you have more then streamdeck connect to the account? Can you someone else the account for you? Can you buy games on our oc login and their appear on the steam deck? Can you buy games on the steamdeck abd it appear on the pc? Can you answer reference the questions because dyslexia and learning difficulties.
Yours has gone significantly better than mine... Preordered the 512gb version which arrived last week but only to discover the Y button was broken out of the box and its had to be sent back to valve as a RMA 🙃 I dont know if your carrying case has it since it but with the 512gb model there was a little pouch on the rear where you could store the charger for when you take it out and about on the move. The compatability testing can be taken as advice since if you know what your doing with Linux and Proton you can manually configure games to work which the community have tested (ProtonDB is a great source)
im typing to you on steam deck. my gaming pc has been gathering dust since it arrived 2 weeks ago. love this device! it sleeps in my bed now. And what happens in my bed stays in my bed.
Q2 here, getting a bit frustrated honestly. I know it's not actually out of the Q2 range but... Goddamn is it frustrating knowing there are people that own one (even breaking them on RUclips) while you just sit twiddling your thumbs!
I hope You enjoy the New Toy Sir, but, it sadly, leaves Me a little non plussed. if I want to Play in Bed, I will Fire up a Console. You cannot beat 55 Inch 4K Forza (Did well, got a Series X via All Accesss) for "In Bed" Gaming, and, when Tired or Poorly (currently Poorly, Tummy issues) , I just don't want the Clunkiness of a PC Interface. I just want to Plug and Play. If I want to Play PC, I will use a Desktop as 80-100 FPS At Ultra Settings at 1440P with GameWorks/PhysX *and* Ray Tracing all Enabled (GRiD Legends) is a very Difficult Experience to Top! (Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3080 Master 12G, which combines the 12GB VRAM of the 3080Ti with the Faster Core Nexus of the Regular 3080 to make a card that is *Faster* then the 3080Ti but with *all* of its Enhanced Abilities! ) Maybe in a Couple of Generations (RTX 50XX? ) when the Processor Power will hopefully be there for 80-100 FPS, Ultra, GameWorks/PhysX, Ray Tracing *And* 4K all at the Same time, but, not now. Sadly, maybe because I am just not in its Market Sphere, I fail to see the Point of the Steam Deck, it is Neither a Console, nor a PC, and seems to have all the Disadvantages (Poor Performance and Low Capabilities with Small Install Space from Console, with the Clunky Interface, Proneness to Viruses, and Tendency to go wrong if there is a Y in the Day, of a PC) of Both with none of the Advantages, such as a Consoles Ease of Operation and "Plug and Play" Nature or the *Blazing* Graphical Performance of a Really good Custom Desktop :( I, Struggle to see the Point I am afraid :( Do take Care, Peace.

When you said "come on" I was expecting the next line to be "Let's do a steam deck"
Me too hahahaha
So glad you got one it’s soo nice to see your excitement

More tech content like this would be a great addition to this channel - ideally anything you get to upgrade your video/streaming set ups

The WiFi internet issue is a known issue. For me turning on developer mode and turning off WiFi Powersaving worked to solve it.
did you... update the steam deck at all? i didn't see a bit on where you did.
Just a heads up - the link to your podcast in the video description is broken
Love the tech unboxings! More please. 👍
Can you have more then streamdeck connect to the account?
Can you someone else the account for you?
Can you buy games on our oc login and their appear on the steam deck?

Can you answer reference the questions because dyslexia and learning difficulties.
Can u try play FM22 on this
When will you be putting fm on?

Steam deck is amazing value for money

Cheers for this kevin ive been waiting for a decent review/unboxing of this
Thank you for feeding my obsession with the Steam deck
cant wait to get mine (512gb model) Q2 don't expect in in may anymore hope on june^^
Can see why you dont do much unboxings
I played Monster Hunter Rise on Steam deck it’s 10x better than Switch and the graphics and the gameplay it’s gorgeous and it’s smoother it’s 4K too
4K?
@@akshatshah6806 yea it has 4K watch the trailer on Steam deck and it will tell u it is 4K when I play it
10 months that's it?
Mine is stolen at the GLS Depot! Noooo…. I’ve been waiting so long for it :(…
Great video again Kevin. Now we want some games in action and reviews about it. How does FM play on it?
I put that video out yesterday on my main channel.

Hi mate is your pc for sale
Cracking lil vid as always kevin
Congratulations
I would really recommend everyone to NOT get the 64GB model. It's just not enough.
Even just the shader cache will fill up your storage quickly!
Brilliant video Kevin hope you enjoy the steam deck
How did these people get the steam deck so early
I ordered as soon as they were available to order
STEAM DECK ROOOOOOOOOCKS DECKERS FOR LIFE I SUGGEST YOU GET A SKIN FROM DBRAND I CHOSE DRAGON
"I have all the consoles"
The Oculus Quest 2 is a console. Do you have one of those? haha
Q2 here, getting a bit frustrated honestly. I know it's not actually out of the Q2 range but... Goddamn is it frustrating knowing there are people that own one (even breaking them on RUclips) while you just sit twiddling your thumbs!
I vote for more videos like this
Keen for more tech content
Tech unboxings good. 👍

Hey
I’ll say it’s better than Switch switch can’t play triple A’s game, Switch it’s only for good Nintendo games only but not on Triple A’s game
Great video but background music is too loud n distracting (autistic viewer)
screen is definitely NOT better than Oled Switch
Just put my deposit down for the October release, I swear this man says "it's good" and I go "we'll If kev likes it I best buy it then"
You gonna stop bullying poor Jack now?
Very unlikely
Q2 Gang!
Why on earth is the background music so loud, all the way though, it’s terrible😂
Intro is WAYYYY too loud!

it is not "Basically a PC" It IS a PC......smh...
Definition of basically: in the most essential respects; fundamentally.
Yet you think you’re disagreeing?
Yes who knows it becomes a thing showing your beard hair on 🤦🏼♂️ your mic!!!
I think you’ll find that’s dog hair
