The Steam Deck works like a portable gaming powerhouse, letting you take your entire Steam library on the go. It runs on a custom AMD APU that's optimized for handheld gaming, combining a powerful CPU and GPU to run games smoothly. The device operates on SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system specially designed for gaming. You can download games directly onto the device or stream them from your PC via Steam Remote Play. Essentially, it's like having a portable PC gaming setup that fits in your hands.

Think of the Steam Deck as a switch for PC gaming. It lets you play your Steam games anywhere, anytime. The built-in controls and touchscreen make it super versatile for different types of games. Plus, you can hook it up to a monitor or TV and add peripherals, turning it into a full-on gaming rig!

The Steam Deck doesn't work; it ROCKS! I've been playing AAA titles on the bus. Sure, not at ultra settings, but the fact it runs them at all is mind-blowing.

It's a glorified handheld PC. Great for indie games and older titles, but don't expect it to run high-end games at max settings.
