#TELEGLITCH PC GAMING WIKI FULL#
According to an exclusive hands-on from IGN, the handheld/dockable will also be able to run Windows and Linux apps via Proton as, essentially, a full mini-PC. The Steam Deck runs Valve's own SteamOS for playing Steam games, on top of Linux.

It runs SteamOS and Linux, could run even more software It's not all that lightweight, though: Valve lists it weighing in at 1.47 pounds (0.67 kg), considerably bigger than the Nintendo Switch but lighter than almost any PC. But there are also dual trackpads on the front, and four extra control spots on the back. There are controls galore, which sets the Steam Deck apart: dual analog sticks, shoulder and triggers, four buttons on one side, a D-pad on the other. It'll be interesting to see how many games it's compatible with, but Valve promises it'll work with many of its AAA titles. The Steam Deck taps directly into Steam's store and library, making it a download-only handheld device. This isn't the first time someone's tried to build a PC gaming handheld: Razer did it way back in 2013, and Alienware's Concept UFO promised a similar idea in 2020. The separately sold dock (price TBA) has a lot of ports: DisplayPort 1.4, USB 3.1, two USB 2.0, HDMI 2.0 and Ethernet. Like a Switch, the Steam Deck can dock in front of a TV or monitor via USB-C, but according to Valve it also works with any powered USB-C adapter or dock - which sounds promising. The 7-inch, 1,280x800-pixel LCD screen is the same size as the upcoming Nintendo Switch OLED, with nearly as many pixels. But there's also a microSD card slot to expand storage. It has its own custom AMD chip with a Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 graphics, along with 16GB of RAM and internal storage ranging from 64GB to 512GB (64GB is $399 256GB is $529 512GB is $649). Will it be the perfect handheld gaming PC? It's hard to tell from a distance. The Steam Deck looks very Switch-like, no surprise, and its relatively low price means it's directly aimed at console buyers.
