Oh, but what if you need to stop playing in the middle of a game, can you easily suspend the system? Yes - Valve has thought of that. SteamOS also bypasses any Linux weirdness by putting all of your Steam options, the store, and your library all front and center. You can use the physical controls, the touch pads, the touchscreen, or a USB mouse and keyboard. SteamOS enables you to navigate however you want. And it used this platform to solve all of the many problems this kind of PC would face. Valve understands this, so it built a new Deck-specific version of its Linux-based SteamOS. You cannot just put people into a desktop environment and let them loose. The PC is an ancient beast in the gaming world, and it brings baggage along with it. So make a handheld Steam machine, and everyone wins, right? It’s actually not that easy. People love Steam and people love handheld gaming. The Steam Deck seems like an obvious winner even when you consider its size. This is the most important advancement in PC gaming in years, and it’s my favorite gaming PC ever made. This machine is capable of handling even the most modern and graphically intensive games.īut the Steam Deck poses a larger question: can it change the relationship between people and PC gaming? And the answer to that is a resounding yes. Of course, the question is whether or not those specs translate into reality. Other, less-powerful handheld PCs sell for more than twice the price of the Steam Deck. What you should take away from the on-paper specs is that this is a very powerful machine for its price and formfactor.
