Feature and Specs of Portable Gaming PC

Physical

“It is ergonomic and can survive long hours of play,” the business claims. Four front buttons, two analogue sticks and D-pads, shoulder buttons and analogue triggers on both shoulders, assignable grip buttons (rear buttons), notation and menu buttons make up the physical buttons.

Two analogue sticks are included in the lower trackpad. Furthermore, the 6-axis IMU gyro control supports demonstration configuration right in the trackpad, as well as moving the body while holding down the game to witness movement on the screen scene.

Specifications

In terms of performance, the Steam Deck has 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM and an AMD APU with a quad-core Zen 2 CPU with eight threads and AMD RDNA 2 graphics for eight compute units. There are three storage options: 64GB eMMC, 256GB NVMe SSD, and 512GB high-speed NVME SSD storage. MicroSD cards can also be used to enhance storage.

Software

Steam Deck gives you access to the Steam library and runs a mobile-friendly version of Steam OS. The operating system is based on Linux. More skilled users can even utilise Steam Deck as a full-fledged Linux PC. You’ll be able to connect with a mouse, keyboard, and monitor, as well as install PC applications, browse the web, and access other game stores, according to Valve. It offers cloud saves for file synchronization between devices, as well as a suspend/resume option that puts the device to sleep.
