By going directly to the Valve website, you will find refurbished Steam Deck models, in 64, 256 and 512 GB versions with prices starting from just 299 euros for the Black Friday period.

With the Steam Deck, Valve has brought a small revolution to gaming by offering a portable console on which you can access your Steam account. There you can install compatible titles and play them absolutely anywhere. This is the LCD version (knowing that an OLED version has since been released) and above all reconditioned and certified by Valve with a one-year warranty, similar to a new Steam Deck.

What you need to know about the Steam Deck LCD

  • A large portable console and the power of a PC
  • Performance that allows you to run big games
  • The Steam Deck is relatively open to tinkering

When it was released several years ago, the Steam Deck LCD 64 GB sold for 419 euros. For Black Friday, the reconditioned version goes to 299 euros. If you need more space, the 256 GB version goes to 339 euros and the 512 GB version goes to 379 euros.

Honey I shrunk the PC

Do you miss the PSP and PS Vita? Did the Wii U tablet leave you with lasting memories? Do you swear by your Nintendo Switch? So add another product to your collection with the Steam Deck, a portable console with a 7″ LCD touch screen that displays 1280 x 800 pixels with a refresh rate of 60 Hz. It’s also a good point of comparison. since the Steam Deck is more imposing than the Switch, also with many more buttons.

This is clearly not the best definition for gaming, but in practice, it more than gets the job done. In addition, you can use it both indoors and outdoors: by pushing the brightness to the maximum, the lighting could not be more sufficient. In addition, despite its size, it is not that heavy (669 grams) and the keys fall well under the fingers, so handling is immediate.

Unsuspected power under the hood

The Steam Deck is intended to be like a portable PC in the body of a portable console. Thus, you find a MAD APU with a Zen 2 4-core, 8-thread processor accompanied by an RDNA 8 Compute Unite graphics chip. So for many, this may be gibberish, but know that in practice, you have more power than a Switch. You can therefore run a few large AAAs without problem, with eMMC or NVMe storage depending on the version chosen.

There is still a small downside to the coin, since it gives off quite a bit of heat and the ventilation is noisy. Also, the autonomy is quite uneven and varies between 2 hours and 8 hours depending on the game launched. Since its release, many games have been made compatible with the Steam Deck. So if you have a library as long as a day without bread and an endless backlog, this may be the solution to finally finish your games: play them everywhere.
