- In this video, I unbox the 64 gigabyte Valve Steam Deck, and give it its first play and impressions. I am NOT sponsored nor affiliated with Valve, so these are my honest impressions of a deck I purchased with my own money.
Products:
Valve Steam Deck 64 GB
SanDisk 512 Extreme Micro SD Card
Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector (Ez Fit)
It'll be almost a year having my deck and once it arrived and I opened it for the first time made me feel like a kid back in the 90s. Everyone needs a steam deck in their life lol
i concur, it forced me to see that linux was superior to windows so my super op battle rig pc is running linux bahahaah
@@ZombieFartDevis crazy how efficient Linux is. I've been playing on it for a year or two.
I’m ordering one next week.
I’m ordering one super soon (within two week or so)! It’s gonna be my first PC ever, so I’m excited to drop into the world of PC gaming for the first time
Great unboxing and general impressions. Had mine for a year now, daily 1 hour commute ain’t long enough anymore! Honestly mate you’re in for a treat. 🎉 best piece of tech from the last decade!
Really well articulated guy. Keep going bru. You are going places.
Fr fr lol lmao
Awesome video. Thank you. I’m picking mine up today and excited. Great video. Keep it up!
I've got to say that Steam Deck is so cool. I've been owning for almost 2 years.
Love the energy in this one. This channel is going places soon! Keep it up!
Yeah i was wondering how well he is handeling this. Pretty young so who knows if he will be new linus hehe
I watched this video about 8 months ago, having never heard of a steam deck. Just ordered my steam deck OLED and remembered seeing this way back when. I am now rewatching it in anticipation of getting mine and your excitement makes me so hyped to get mine. Great energy! Keep it up brother!
I really like not overproducted videos... And yours is PERFECT. I'll be buying my Switch today. Waiting for delivery. Thanks for good introduction video...
@iivaylo this is in fact a switch, look up yuzu
I'm late but this cracked me up I had to read it twice guy nearly gave me a stroke
Cool unboxing dude! Keep it up 🔥
Very nice gift, can't wait to try out the Steam Deck.
Loved the video!
I just order mine can't wait for it to arrive!
Did it arrive yet I ordered mine 3 days ago
Got the same one 64gig with 512 sd card! enjoy gaming man!
Great video but the screen as soon as you opened the case did you dirty man 😂
how does it compare to the switch? Is it plug and play or do you have to tweak it for every game? Very confused which games are on steam and steam deck verified, like star wars Jedi survivor for example.
*Nice unboxing new sub*
I also got the 64 GB model yesterday for my birthday but my birthday is on Saturday so I can’t open it till then so I’ve been binge watching a lot of different creators of boxing but I really wanna play BMG drive
You mentioned you had a gaming laptop, I would love to see a video on it.
Enjoy your steam deck ❤
nice review, thinking about getting one too, is it also possible connect it to a Screen with HDMI? like the Nintendo Switch
Yes, u would need a dock though
so they removed the thin strap u use to lift up the device off of the case?
SUGGESTION: ADD GYRO, look for a prebuild configuration with GYRO, and remember that you must keep the touch on the right joystick to enable the gyroscope, and just do not touch it to get back the control only to the other joystick.
Your games are going places
Got mine last week. Went with the 64GB as well. I plan to buy a 1TB SD card at some point. I'm not sure if I'm gonna upgrade the SSD.
This vid is getting me raedy for my steam deck in 2 months
I have a question. Some pc games require an ssd to run which the 64gb steam deck variant does not have. So then will i not be able to play that game on the 64gb variant? Ex. The last of us part 1.
Im sure they would still work to some extent, but I don't know
I ordered a 512 because of the price drop, im so excited
It’s been 5 months any regrets? The steam deck 64gb is on sale for $349.99 and I’m thinking about getting it. I don’t need the new screen
Nice video. I wonder if the Steam Deck is more comfortable than the Switch or if the ergonomics fix all the problems in this area?
Yes, the steam deck (apart from weight) is way more comfortable than the switch, it’s better for larger hands.
@@VanSucksAtTech Thx for your answer. 🙂
So the box just comes to you saying its a steam deck out for everyone to see?
I'm getting one on Christmas day
You can see my fat chin in the screeen 😂 ok subscribed 😂
Cool video
Mine got bricked, after properly upgrading the ssd, it would not boot a flash drive and after putting it in power storage mode it never turned back on. I've exhausted every option to get it back on.
You have to plug it in to power it up after putting in power storage mode for it to turn on
Nice, man.
nice swiss army knife !
If youre gonna upgrade ssd, dont forget to take out the card
🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait to get mine man, the ROG Ally looks cool. But it's around $300 more then the steam deck, no thanks lol.
Good humour 😂
where did you buy yours
From the steam official shop
The 64GB model has since been discontinued since the introduction of the OLED model
While charging plugin steam-deck increase performance
2:35 wait, it's a boy? Lol
Good vídeo tho
No, it does not feel the same in terms of weight. It feels considerably heavier and of superior quality..
I am very tempted to pick one up while the sale is still on but I am torn between getting the ally or the aynneo geek 1s. I was leaning towards the ally as bestbuy has the 1 to 3yr replacement insurance. I know valve also has great support but I want something a little more future proof with Gamepass support. The VRR feature also makes me want it. Just wish the steamdeck had 6cores but at that low price it is very tempting. Congrats on your new deck. You can't go wrong on both machines.
get a deck.
''I want something a little more future proof'' the Ally is just 15% faster than the Steam Deck at 15 watts which will just barely get you 2 hours and at 12 watts they have almost the same performance. also the ally is inefficient compared to the Steam Deck so your not likely to consume 15 watts unless you lower resolution from 1080p,lower settings, and lower the fps cap to the point where you ask your self ''isn't this just a minorly better experience than the deck?! and could i not just have gotten a 1tb ssd and a 64gb Steam Deck for $200 less than an Ally!?!!?'' also there are refurbished 64gb decks at 319.00 dollars if you can find them in stock at the steam store.
Get the deck the ally has too many problems
The strap on the backside is for putting over the extended handle of your luggage.
Can I play beamng drive on steam deck with 64gb?
Ye!
Oof. BeamNG is a rough game to choose to try your Steam Deck for the first time.
I wouldn’t say that, its a good way to discover and test the steam deck’s capabilities, and find its limits in processing and graphics quality
@@VanSucksAtTech tbh beamng is really poorly optimized. There are a lot of games much better to test the performance
@@3rr0rcs5 That's kinda my point, if the game is really unoptimized, and still runs well, that shows how well the deck can handle games that are well optimized
@@VanSucksAtTech no it does not. Every game performs differently and uses the hardware in a different proportion. The only thing realistically to do to benchmark your hardware is a proper Benchmark test like 3D Mark
I bet this guy is pissed if he only bought this five months ago only with the OLED stealth dropping months after, i would be.
I'm assuming you are not part of the YTPP, or at least hope that is the case as the sheer number of ads this video contains is beyond ridiculous. 23 ad breaks. All double 15 or more second unskippables. Absolutely unreasonable.
Not yet lol, maybe soon, but I'll try to keep the ads to a minimum.
64gb not much space
That’s why I bought a 512 gb micro SD card!
Ain ya a little late for dat.
The deck is too big, it needs to be 15% smaller
I guess you'd like Nintendo Switch Lite.
I have fairly medium sized hands, you must have some t rex boys on ya.
Here is my advice: (But note that Steam Summer Sale is over, so you might wanna do it when there is a new Steam Deck Sale)
1) 64 GB Steam Deck Full Price: CAD $499
Steam Summer Sale Discount on 64 GB ver: 10% (-49.90)
Import Fee: CAD $22.46
Total: CAD $471.56
2) Corsair MP600 Mini NVMe 1 TB SSD from Amazon CA
Total: CAD $141.74
3) SanDisk Extreme 512 GB MicroSD from Amazon CA
Total: CAD $69.73
Overall DIY Cost: $471.56 + $141.74 + $69.73 = $683.03
Compared to Stock 512 GB NVMe SSD Steam Deck Full Price: CAD $819
Steam Summer Sale Discount on 512 GB ver: 20% (-163.8)
Import Fee: CAD $22.46
Total: CAD $677.66
Difference 1 (Summer Sale): $683.03 for DIY 1 TB + 512 GB vs $677.66 for 512 GB = ONLY $5.37 for 1 TB extra storage!!!
Difference 2 (Full Price): $732.93 for DIY 1 TB + 512 GB vs $841.46 for 512 GB = $108.53
TLDR; Buy 64 GB ver. of Steam Deck During Sale and upgrade the storage to MP600 Mini 1TB + SanDisk Extreme MicroSD.
Samsung and WD have cheaper 2230 Gen 3 NVMe 1 Tb SDD ~ 70 USD (they are not slower than the Gen4 ones except on tests (3100 Mb/s vs 5000 Mb/s but 110 USD Sabrent), because Steam Deck is designed for Gen3 speeds or lower as SD card ones)
I bought a Lexar 1TB MicroSD for $87 during Amazon Prime day sale. I did get the 512GB because at 20% to me it was worth it so I didn’t have to futz around trying to upgrade the deck(and maybe screw stuff up) the matte screen is nice too.
@@TheVinceVoice The problem with Lexar is speed and longevity. SanDisk Extreme is significantly more pricey but so is the performance. I would highly recommend that you refund that Lexar and replace it with SanDisk Extreme 1 TB because the performance difference is just too massive.
u need to do a better job on your adress
In person I can’t even read it with my eyes 2 inches away from it, so if you can read that then I’m impressed
Possibly AI analysis could pick it up. Low chance anyone would care to try that, but if you're paranoid I think you can blur in the CZcams editor online as well.
Cool review BTW, and glad you enjoying it so far! Welcome to the club!
Yeah I can see that as a possibility, but thanks!
@@DoubleJumpPunch You can't pick up that adress.. Why would someone bother using AI to figure the address out, that seems excessive.
@@Persason Did I not say that?
