Thomas EscrittWho’s got a #SteamDeck ? Is it really a substitute for a gaming PC? Seems almost too good to be true
This has been an amazingly helpful thread, everyone - thanks very much. If I do go ahead, how much does it matter which variant of the #SteamDeck I go for? How much is the basic version going to cramp my "style"?

64GB will be extremely restrictive for modern games, for example, Red Dead Redemption 2 is over 100GB.
you can expand the storage with affordable microSD cards (Samsung EVO Select 256GB is less than $40) but I highly recommend the mid-tier 256GB Steam Deck instead.
even SteamOS files such as the Proton updates take up a reasonable amount of space, so unless you’re planning to exclusively play smaller games, the entry-level model will fill up fast!
