#SteamDeck #Xbox #PS5

Valve’s Steam Deck released exactly one year ago today. In that time, this portable gaming computer has seen major monthly upgrades that bring new interface tweaks and features. From its massive game library to its impressive performance, this little PC has only gotten better with age.

Steam Deck condenses an entire gaming computer setup into a portable device—complete with a built-in controller and an 800p LCD touchscreen. At $399, this handheld costs half the price of a comparable desktop PC build and weighs just over a pound. This makes it easy to hold for hours on end and untethers the PC gaming experience from your desk. Just don’t mistake the Steam Deck for a game console. This system places all the benefits of a computer such as a desktop operating system, mod support, and highly adjustable graphics settings in your pocket. Plus it has enough power to run the latest triple-A titles smoothly at up to 60 frames per second.

The Steam Deck’s USB-C charging port supports a dock mode when connected to a USB-C hub so you can play on a larger TV or gaming monitor up to a 4K resolution at 120 FPS while you’re home. If you’re really determined, you can even connect accessories like your mouse and keyboard to a dock’s additional USB ports to use it as a traditional Linux or Windows desktop. This additional functionality opens the door for computing tasks like editing photos or browsing the web. When it’s time to go out, simply unplug the Steam Deck and pick up where you left off. This versatility has earned the Steam Deck a spot in my everyday carry.
