Congrats! If you’re someone like me who owns a decent PC but no longer enjoys sitting in front of one, definitely get yourself a dock so you can hook it up to your TV. They cost around $30 and is a great investment. Just remember to take the casing off (if you use one) if you’re planning to have your games running at anything between 1080p to 4K, and use FSR to reduce the load. I find the Deck heats up a fair bit even in winter.

Owning a Steam Deck really got me back into gaming. I carry it to work to play during breaks and hook it back up to my TV when I get home.

This was my motivation for getting one. I work from home, and my work laptop and my gaming PC share a desk, thanks to a pair of KVM switches. Sometimes I don’t feel like spending my evenings in the same chair I spent the day in, and enjoy flopping down on the couch with the Deck in handheld mode.

Snag yourself a battery pack for traveling. I got a baesus 65w one off Amazon for $38 when it went on sale.

Most important thing? Have fun. Don’t get wrapped up in fps limits and tweaking unless your game isn’t running to satisfaction. There’s a lot you can adjust and tinker with but it’s easy to get lost in that.

Got the same one too. Just a quick note for anyone looking to buy one: if you’re planning to travel with it, get the 20,000mah instead of 30,000mah one to stay under the 100Wh limit for most airlines.
