256GB ought to be enough for anyone!
I run most of my games off an SD card and it’s been fine.
(It seems people have not heard of the Bill Gates 640KB quote and/or my delivery is off)
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.

hello. I run a steam deck as my main Gaming device and I don’t own a gaming PC. it is nice to meet you.
If you’re going to main your games on a steam deck, definitely go with one of the higher GB versions.
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
I wish the steam deck was a tablet with detachable controllers. It would open up the door to more sales.
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.
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’s still not something most people are comfortable with. I am not a stranger to building PCs, so not talking for myself here. It would be much easier to replace controllers like on Switch or a regular game controller. Also being able to have a different buttons and layout configuration would be really cool for a PC handheld, as the system itself is very flexible.
There are some very fragile ribbon cables in there that need to be disconnected to get to the areas with the controller stuff
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!
It is? It has a touchscreen and supports Bluetooth peripherals. What portion of sales does that not include?
If I don’t game why would I buy a pc tablet with permanent controllers attached?
If you don’t game why are you interested in a gaming first device? It’s like ordering burger but substituting the beef for chicken because you don’t eat beef, order the chicken sandwich!
Holy shit dude… There are not other products at that price point built for linux with the specs of the deck that are in tablet form. What dont you people understand about that. Holy fuck. That’s a perfectly fine reason for me to think of the deck as tablet and thinking of diy ways to make it a tablet by removing the controller aspect… Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ yourself… I’m sure it’s a fine device that can be used for a lot of different thing but it’s not meant nor maketed as anything but a gaming device so why bitch about it’s gaming features being in the way of the other things you may want it for. That would be like taking a pick-up instead of a car then bitching that it had a truck bed in the back that you didn’t need to use.
It does not make a good tablet. If you’ve ever used one you’d immediately know that it’s for gaming.
Idk why would you?
This makes no sense. Why are you even in this topic?
It would make a great Linux tablet for the price…
Is there any other Linux based tablet with those specs?
im surprised no one has released a controlerless shell for diy conversion.
I can’t tell if I’m being trolled.
I’m looking forward to the new Steam Controller to basically enable that.
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.
I saw the Legion Go S for £399 at Costco as well, with 4 times the space. Is there any downside to that one over the Steam Deck? I think it’s marginally better performance and a slightly bigger screen, but is the compatibility as good?
WTF are they trying to get rid of LCD stock? Is it still being manufactured?
