If you’re looking for a good portable console, the Steam Deck might just have been a contender. Unsurprisingly, this is the industry’s most exciting launch in years, since it’s not just a “just” handheld console, it’s also a computer.

Thanks to the latest advances in hardware miniaturization and energy efficiency, Valve has been able to design a complete computer, based on the same architecture as a gaming PC but in a much smaller form factor.
At the Steam Deck of the offer
Now you have the best chance to buy a Steam Deck at the best price. For the first time since its launch last year, the console is available at a price that, while not huge, might just be what you needed to win.
Two reasons explain this reduction. For starters, it’s been a year since the product was launched; and two, that Steam’s Spring Sales are happening starting today, with huge sales on hundreds of video games, many of which are compatible with the Steam Deck.
The Steam Deck is an AMD processor-based console with integrated Radeon graphics, powerful enough to run many current titles smoothly. Among the games that received the highest compatibility rating are blockbusters such as elderberry ring, The Witcher 3, Hogwarts Legacy there Cyberpunk 2077; but it is also compatible with many classic games and games from independent studios.
Although it is a computer, the Steam Deck does not use Windows. By default, it comes with a Linux-based SteamOS system created by Valve itself. The key to achieving compatibility with so many games developed for Windows lies in Proton, a new compatibility layer. Even so, it is also possible to install Windows 11 if we want, since the console is completely open and Valve does not limit what we can do; You can even open it and put more storage, for example.
Normally, the lowest price for the Steam Deck is 419 dollars, but now all versions will have a 10% discount until next March 23, when the Steam Spring Sale ends. So if you are interested, you better hurry.
The 64GB Steam Deck is available for 377.10 dollars and comes with a carrying case. The 256GB model also has faster storage and an exclusive set of Steam community profiles, for $494.10. Finally, the 512 GB model has an anti-reflective screen, an exclusive virtual keyboard and an exclusive version of the charging box, for 611.10 dollars. Shipping is free and takes between one and two weeks.
