Each refurbished unit goes through a rigorous inspection including more than 100 tests by Valve, ensuring performance equivalent to that of a new device. Models also include a carrying case, remanufactured power supply, and a one-year warranty. However, slight cosmetic imperfections may be present.
An essential portable console
Launched in November 2023, the Steam Deck OLED is still a benchmark for portable PC gaming. In addition to its high-quality screen, it offers improved battery life and slightly better performance than the original LCD version. Compared to other portable consoles, such as the excellent Asus ROG Ally X, it stands out for its ease of use. Although some Windows devices now do better in terms of performance and battery life, the Steam Deck remains a good choice for mobile gamers.

The company expects a significant advancement in chip technologies to deliver a noticeable improvement in performance without compromising battery life. In the meantime, these refurbished models represent an opportunity to access the portable console at a competitive price.
