Via PC Gamer:
Seeing every photo and video of the Steam Deck on the internet didn't prepare me for seeing it in person. It's a goliath—somehow way bigger than I expected, especially when compared side-by-side with a Nintendo Switch. This is the full tower PC case of videogame handhelds.
Once I picked up the Steam Deck, though, the size didn't seem to matter much. It's solid, but at 1.47 pounds, not too heavy to hold comfortably. It's wide, but the inputs are close enough to reach naturally. The button arrangement looks silly and top heavy in pictures, but fits with how you'll naturally grip the device.
The Steam Deck is as big as it needed to be to pack in all the features Valve thought it should contain, which is, basically, all of them. (Again, it's a full tower PC.) Okay, so there's no CD drive—but there are *deep breath* joysticks and buttons and triggers and bumpers and paddles and trackpads and it even has a touchscreen and Bluetooth connectivity for connecting more controllers, if you want to sit back and use it as a tiny 7-inch TV.
Somehow that all fits in an 11.7-inch wide tablet, yet still looks like a far more polished and premium piece of hardware than any of the portable Windows devices you can buy today. I only got to spend a couple hours with the Steam Deck at Valve's office, and spent more time exploring the new version of SteamOS and talking to Valve's hardware pros than I did actually playing games on it. But the time I did spend reassured me that its controls are comfortable and feel good under my thumbs, and that this new version of SteamOS is going to be the lynchpin of the Steam Deck's design.
When it works, you can almost forget that the games you're playing on the Steam Deck were never designed for a portable machine.
