Buying call

Buy the Steam Deck OLED if you want the simplest way to play your Steam library handheld: reviewers praised its vivid 90Hz HDR OLED screen, better battery life than the LCD Deck, quiet running and SteamOS's quick suspend and resume. Valve sells it at $789 for 512GB or $949 for 1TB (Oct 8, 2026). Skip it if you want to play new AAA games at high settings, because its chip is from 2023 and some verified games still run poorly. It's also bulky to carry.
