Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the LCD Steam Deck used or refurbished if you want the cheapest way into Valve's handheld: reviewers praised SteamOS as the best handheld experience, steady performance in Steam games, strong emulation and sturdy hardware. Skip it if you can afford the Steam Deck OLED, which adds a better screen and battery, and Valve's site shows prices only for the OLED models (Oct 8, 2026). Many anti-cheat games still don't work, and it's large and heavy for a portable.

Best for

Steam library, budget handheld PC

Not for

New buyers, who should get the OLED, and fans of anti-cheat multiplayer games.
