  • 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

    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.

    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.

      @ricardowilliams3765 Před 10 měsíci +1

      ''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.

    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.
