Steam Deck 64 GB Unboxing And Review + Gameplay Test 

Dude I soooo wish I had quality like yours man. All I got is Galaxy Note 20 ULTRA 5g. I pre-ordered my Steam Deck over a Year or so ago. I ordered the 64gb as well because i already knew I would be upgrading my ssd on my own by buying else were. I loooove my Steam Deck. It was first day traveling with it too work I ride a train that takes almost 2 hours. So ya, I definitely need something too keep my attention kept and this does the job and more. I looove it I did a unboxing I have horrible audio also it doesn't help I don't understand audio setups/settings worth a shit I have tried watching videos about it but I just get so overwhelmed I am using 4kUHD 60 on my phone but it still is not as quality as I would like.

i looked around for reviews on different sd cards and turns out that when actually playing the games there's not much difference, so i ended up getting a 512gb for $40 by silicon power. so far, it has worked very well and i honestly don't see much difference running them off the ssd or the sd card

@@carlos2004 is that sd card still holding up? If so imight just buy cheap sd card 512.

@@nathanaka_ren so far so good. the card is working perfectly. do keep in mind that it's only been used for 2 weeks, but the one in my switch (also silicon power) has been used for 6 months and it's fine. also, with saves being in the cloud and all the other important stuff in the main drive, i'm ok with using the cheaper cards. EDIT: forgot to mention to stick with known name brands, you don't want to get the obviously fake cards (ie 512gb for $20)

@@carlos2004 thanks man . I'm going with samsung 512 its just $60 bucks.

Awesome!

Mine will arrive soon too. Indeed it feels like you said! 😂 can’t wait haha!

No way mine is coming on Wednesday too!

Yes same. I love the portal reference makes me smile!

Don't you think it screams steam deck tho idk feel like they make it easy for the people that steal stuff 🤔😔I really hope mine comes.

NAH

What

@@missladylilly7199 it already says steam deck on the packaging and they are getting stolen alot. Valve need to do something about it

Really an RTX 3060 Laptop murders this....don't give people (Kids) the wrong impression....

@@alistairmartins6970 and it's still a laptop 🤷🏿‍♂️

@@alistairmartins6970 I don’t give a shit wether or not I can see every single dust particle in the next generic triple a game I just want a portable steam device with somewhat of a computer browser

@@alistairmartins6970And how much does one of them cost again?

@@alistairmartins6970 bro forgot about the cost of these things

Can you upgrade storage without taking it apart?

@@BeastBetsDaily micro sd, yes ssd, no you have to open

@@whisperviz1346 can I run triple A games or even emulate PS2 games with a base model with an SD? Not trying to open up this thing so I’m kinda regretting my purchase it’s on the way just don’t know what to expect

@@BeastBetsDaily there is no difference in performance between ssd and sd card beside the loading time, so yes you can

@@whisperviz1346 appreciate you boss

Yes I have to get use to the back paddles still. The sd card I got seems to work well for gaming I'm happy with it. I'm not sure the version off my head but totally doable and I'm impressed with it. I'm loving the steam deck as well.

From everything I've seen and read there is very little difference between A1 and A2, the most noticeable difference is in download speeds, but even then it's not that big of a deal. When actually playing games there are very few cases where it would be noticeable.

Sweet I still have to try that game looks very hard lol

How long does the battery last?

@@PirGoldsword Sad it doesn't have true coop

@@x-raywolf1008 varies from game to game more intensive games drain it faster but possibly around like 3-5 hours Is what Ive been averaging. possibly longer and possibly shorter - Hope it helps

@@QuietNerd Honestly, of all the Souls games, it's THE most approachable one.

this is something that took me for a loop. when i was first setting up, turns out about 40% of my library (mostly older stuff) wasn't "deck ready". however, after installing a bunch games, it turns out they run just fine. i might have to fiddle with the controls on some of them, but after setting them up, they run fine. the one main thing haven't been able to run is the heroic game launcher. i've tried putting it on the sd card, then the internal but first games wouldn't install, then when they did, they wouldn't load. in the end, i'm simply using the epic launcher itself. also, return to castle wolfenstein is having problems when i try using a mouse. it goes crazy even after turning off the trackpads and joysticks.

Awesome - Cheers!

im getting one for christmas

@@sleepynet13 same

I'm glad it helped! Have a wonderful day!

Yea i agree the 64 GB version is more that enough and a future SSD upgrade as well sounds like a plan - Cheers!

@@QuietNerd not only is it good budget wise, but it’s good for those who don’t like the look of an anti glare screen

It is. Once you've sorted the controls out (usually a cinch for anything mapped to a standard X Box setup) you're good to go.

Its great for game like that for sure! Just check compatibility But i doubt small games owuld have a hard time to run

The great thing with devices like this is you can do both I absolutely love my aya Neo 2021 it imo it is perfectly sized about the same size as the og switch with the hori controller attached , also have a nice case for travelling 😉😏😃

i dont pay over 400 dollars on handheld to play indie games 💀

@@amarson2322 Sounds like you've never played indie games than.

does the video lag at all? this sounds like a better version of the switch lol

litterally a WII U lmao

@@brickthagr8871 it's really good. I haven't done it in awhile but I had no lag.

There’s an Etsy seller who made a thing to hold the charger & fits perfectly in that indention

​@@makotohan166 It doesn't need anything else. It holds the charger perfectly as is.

I'm glad I could help thats what I wanted from the video :D - cheers

Awesome You will love it its a great piece of gaming tech - Game On!

That’s me too, I’m getting a Steam Deck as my first/only gaming PC to play all the PC games I can’t currently play, gonna use it “on the go” as well as hooked up to my TV at home. I generally play older games anyway, but am happy to see how many newer titles are playable as well. Mine comes later this week SO EXCITED!

Reserved mines 64gb on March and just got the email to purchase yesterday now waiting on a tracking #. Exited but scare at the same time since it's my first gaming pc and was debating on if I should get this or a gaming laptop and while waiting was about to get the gaming laptop since my old laptop died after a lightning hit near me and killed it. So finally it will be here soon. Hope my wife dont get angry when she sees it cause she still dont know I purchased it. Lol

@@firstpitstop I reserved mine as well even though I have never game on pc...I am worried because I don't have steam account, valve might not sell to me.

@@MrKayzeemoschino They sold me one and I opened my acct the day I reserved it so dont worry you should get yours.

Thanks for the info!

BRO SAME

Sweet!

I tried that but I couldn't get mine to format on the steam deck with out a second computer to format the sd card again. Maybe if i tried it one more time I'm not sure. I'm glad it worked that way for you though. Im just glad I got it to finally work on the system

Happy Birthday! Enjoy it!

Ahh nice tip! Thanks!

Awesome its a great time enjoy it when you get it - Cheers!

Woohoo! Mine should come on the 9th too, although FedEx has already changed the delivery date no less than 4 times in as many days, so I’m a bit nervous about that.... Still, super excited!

@@QuietNerd was shipping free?

I'm glad it helped I wanted to keep it real!

I agree some RU-vidrs just go on about stats and for some reason try to push games to the max instead of just making them playable good thing about about this guy is he shows the viewers what they want to see how it plays games and what it will be like to have one yourself

Why wouldnt it be working like day One?

Sweet!

Yes its pretty sweet

Nice!

Yep im trying to get one of these because this is an amazing system

@mangodxwns I ended up getting one myself. Loving it so far. Some things are finicky and some games more difficult to play due to the amount of controls, but I'm having so much fun with it.

Yea super impressed as well with the steam deck

Valve does an awesome job at making Linux more popular. Just 3 years ago, almost everybody laughed at me when i told them that my gaming rig is running Linux. ^^ Things are changing and i am really happy that more and more people lose their fear of Linux.

Your welcome I'm glad you got something from this review that's what I was hoping for - Cheers!

Thank you! :D Keep on keeping on!

I got my email for purchase today

@@49ersfan12 Nice Enjoy it! its a great piece of gaming tech

:D

Lol please dont breast feed it it runs on electric not milk. You wont need pampers eigther. Haha 😆

@@firstpitstop I physically wouldn't be able to lol

Yeah I always look after my devices I look after my aya Neo 2021

I cant believe they stopped making it to be honest

Definitely one if my favorite controls for pc...also Sonys controllers dualsense and dualshock 4 cuz 9f those touch pads makes it so easy to use for more then just gaming..lol no lie I occasionally use my steam controller to edit music videos. I just bring my laptop and steam controller engineers route the audio, plug in the hdmi and I sit back and scrub through footage....lol using the steam controller 😎

I still have mine lol though I don't use it that much. It's great for games that don't officially support controllers and there are plenty of games like that on Steam. Plus it has more buttons than my Xbox One controller, so if I need more input options for a game and want to be comfy,then I just use the Steam controller. The configuration options are also endless.

Yeah I agree. I get why it didn't take off. As a normal controller it's worse than an xbox or playstation controller. You really want that right joystick. But for games that are not designed for controllers it's just so good. I played MMORPG's on it. And you need a lot of buttons for that. But once you learned the software it's so cool. So many clever combinations to get lots of commands. Also great for desktop use btw. But the steam controller software is also just cool in itself with other controllers. It's really worth while to dig deep into it and learn all the features. Using an already made controller config will almost never be a good experience compared to making a config that fits your needs.

Possibly in the future I might do a cooking focused video Ill a have see though. I did make one on pesto past if you interested I posed it a few months back. And Ill check out atomic shrimp I like the name lol. Thanks for stopping by I appreciate it - Cheers!

Hit me up 🎁🎁🎁

Someones gotta :D

Right!!!

how you like it ?

Do you like it ?

Glad it helped :D

I'm glad I could help!

Thank you! and welcome!

On sale now!

Congratulations 🎉 I hope got mine soon 😅❤

Yes.

Yes

I get it to run tf3

Micro sd card as expandable storage is totally fine for me and Ill most likely upgrade the internal ssd in the future as ssd get cheaper with time. For the price point it makes the most sense when only the storage was different and the other hardware was the same - Cheers!

@@QuietNerd I agree I bought a 512 gig micro card for mine.

You got it!

They seem to be shipping a lot out as of late its awesome - Game on!

A year ago, damn damn

Ive never had switch but Ive always wanted one. I couldn't justify the purchase for myself honestly. But somehow I could with the steam deck lol and I do love the steam deck

It definitely doesn’t feel better

oled screen is superior over lcd

Thanks I'm glad you love them. If I see some camping tech that I really interesting I might do a review Ill have to see - Cheers!

Howdy! Thanks for stopping by! :D

That prolly would have worked but I didn't try desktop mode on the deck at that point yet but fair point
