    I picked up a 64Gi LCD model a while back when it was on sale and then added my own 1TB SSD. 256Gi is enough that you hate to remove it and not use it, but also isn’t quite enough space to be practical.

      My Steam Deck is a second wave pre-order 256GB modern, and that is exactly my feeling. Between the internal 256GB and the excellent Steam Deck micro SD utilization, it was good enough that I never opened it up just to change the SSD. When I started to get some stick drift, I finally upgraded the SSD at the same time.

      The 256GB is “good enough”, but 512GB is “enough” and 64GB is tight.

    256GB ought to be enough for anyone!

    I run most of my games off an SD card and it’s been fine.

      And even if it is not, upgrading the ssd was really easy.

      As a secondary device to play games besides my big PC, yes. But lot of people have no other PC and the Steam Deck is the only device. Given that some games come at 100gb install size, and people want to install multiple games, 256gb can be low. I use internal space for Steam games and all stuff, and have an 512gb external card just for emulators and Roms.

        Hence me saying games run fine off an SD card after a reference to a quote falsely attributed to Bill Gates 😁

        I highly doubt there are many people that only have a Steam Deck and not a gaming PC.

      It’s definitely not enough, I filled it in no time. SD card works fine for me, tho.

    If you’re going to main your games on a steam deck, definitely go with one of the higher GB versions.

    source
    • samus12345@sh.itjust.works ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I haven’t had any issues just running games off a microSD card.

      source
    • Joelk111@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Or the lowest GB version and upgrade - though the 16GB is no longer available, so I’m guessing that’s less economical than it was.

      source
      • tea@lemmy.today ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        64gb was the lowest they offered at launch. Though it certainly felt like 16gb without the SD card in place.

      Or buy this version and then upgrade the storage yourself.

      Depends how many games you have on the go at once and how fast your internet is, I’ve never felt limited by the 256GB model

    WTF are they trying to get rid of LCD stock? Is it still being manufactured?

  • zdanger@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I originally bought a Steam Deck to travel with but I feel it was just too big. I recently bought an Asrock BC-250 and have it setup with Sunshine. Now I use my Retroid Pocket 5 and Moonlight. Much more of a manageable size for traveling

    I wish the steam deck was a tablet with detachable controllers. It would open up the door to more sales.

    • Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’m looking forward to the new Steam Controller to basically enable that.

      Sooo, a Switch?

      source
      • defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I would love a Switch-style PC handheld with the full size joysticks, dual touchpads, and back buttons from the Steam Deck.

      It would make it more expensive and less durable. However being able to replace the controllers would definitely by nice, or even buy alternative builds with different buttons. But then, Valve couldn’t possibly hit the price with such an expensive luxurious feature.

      • TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Have you tried opening it up? Replacing the controller elements is pretty easy. The board is well laid out and everything is clearly labeled. Even replacing the thumbsticks is a piece of cake.

      It is? It has a touchscreen and supports Bluetooth peripherals. What portion of sales does that not include?

      source
      • WhatGodIsMadeOf@feddit.org ⁨7⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

        If I don’t game why would I buy a tablet with permanent controllers attached?

        source
    • Grimy@lemmy.world ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Would it though? If you are using it with a controller, it’s probably plugged into the tv, at which point you can just connect controllers to it with Bluetooth.

      The switch style controller is cute but mostly a gimmick imo.

      source
      • samus12345@sh.itjust.works ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Yeah, it was a novelty when the Switch came out, but how often do those crappy little joycons actually get used separated? Anyone who’s planning to play local multiplayer a lot will have multiple regular controllers.

      I’ve got a Steam deck and a Legion Go. The detachable controls are amazing on the Legion. Adds a lot of versatility to the device!
