Ill be travelling for a while soon so i was thinking of getting a deck for the long flights.

What size would you recommend ?

What’s the battery like when running games or watching movies ?

Any gotcha moments when running a deck?

    What size would you recommend ?

    Whatever size matters. I ended up buying a 512 GB with 512gb micro SD. I have like three games that take up 100GB (Elden Ring, Witcher 3, and some other game I forget), and like fifty indie games.

    What’s the battery like when running games or watching movies ?

    Depends. It’s like a laptop, and depends what you’re doing.

    I play Elden Ring while it’s plugged into my dock + wall outlet, so it’s on the big TV. If I played it while portable, it’ll last like 1.5 hours.

    Where I can play Vampire Survivors or many 2D metroidvanias for like 4 hours.

    Any gotcha moments when running a deck?

    Be careful because if you’re like me, you might no longer build gaming PCs ever again.

    I say that and honestly, most graphic intensive games don’t look great on Steam Deck. Like Cyberpunk looks great on a mid-level gaming PC where it looks like Lowres muddy blurs on Steam Deck. But if you never knew how it originally looked, you might not complain.
