Providing us with his first thoughts on the Steam Deck and a few statistics from tests he was able to carry out in the short time he had with the console.

As you will see in the video below you can easily connect external peripherals to the handheld console as well as connect it to your large screen TV or small USB-C portable monitor allowing you to enjoy the latest AAA games wherever you may be. Valve has officially announced a shipping date for their Steam Deck for February 2022
Valve partnered with AMD to create Steam Deck’s custom APU a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 optimized for handheld gaming, “delivering more than enough performance to run the latest AAA games in a very efficient power envelope” says Valve. Featuring an IMU and capacitive touch thumbsticks on-board, Steam Deck allows you to control your games in a number of different ways depending on your play style.
“The Steam Deck console brings the Steam games and features you love to a powerful and convenient form factor that you can take wherever you go. With an IMU and capacitive touch thumbsticks on-board, Deck helps you aim better. By physically positioning the device you can achieve more precision than using a thumbstick or trackpad alone. Type and swipe through the Steam UI with Deck’s capacitive multi-touch display.”
