Yeah the new fan curve is nice. I never perceived the fan noise as being excessive.

I sense some fukkery on the horizon. Buyer has left that Steam Deck sitting at a UPS Access Point they redirected to for 2 days. I gotta leave the eBay payout sitting in my checking account as I only use that for online transactions and eBay might pull some BS and come after that money.

Never mind I only got $893 from the $1050 due to free shipping and eBay fees of 13%.

Because I could make a small profit. I wasn't greedy I sold for less than I could have got if I held out a few days after posting.

Messeged the buyer today and he claims he been working and will pick it up before the 9th. If not UPS gonna send it back and I'll refund them minus the shipping. They eating that.

Steam Deck the GOAT handheld imo.
I view it as a weak device that can run games at specs a mediocre PC can and it will likely show its age fast. This isn't a Switch where even as it's weak the games are still custom built for it. In the end its a gaming PC. Valve also has a track history with the Steam Machines. I don't trust in 4 years this will be looked at as a great purchase. It's also too large to carry around as it's not pocketable so it will have to go in a carrying bag or something.

I got a cell phone on me for on the go entertainment and my Kindle Paperwhite can fit in most of my pockets as well if I want to not read on a cell phone.

I can play literally most games at 60fps. And if not I can dial it back to 40fps and get that same smooth experience. The switch runs like shyt. Even on 1st party software. So I don’t even know what u mean like that. The games look great on that 7 inch display. And there’s no handheld on the market right now that plays AAA games better than it. Even handhelds that cost double, triple, and quadruple the price. If u actually have been using the device u would see how much support Valve has been giving it so to compare it to any other Steam machines n shyt like that and is off the mark completely. I can tell u haven’t been using the device. I have been using it since launch. Ur phone can’t play ur entire Steam library. And it’s portable. Not pocketable. The Switch isn’t pocketable either. Something like the Vita is pocketable. If that’s what ur looking for.
