I opened it, but will launch it a bit later. What should I do/know ? I got a protetctive glass from Jseaux too.

Congrats! If you’re someone like me who owns a decent PC but no longer enjoys sitting in front of one, definitely get yourself a dock so you can hook it up to your TV. They cost around $30 and is a great investment. Just remember to take the casing off (if you use one) if you’re planning to have your games running at anything between 1080p to 4K, and use FSR to reduce the load. I find the Deck heats up a fair bit even in winter.
Owning a Steam Deck really got me back into gaming. I carry it to work to play during breaks and hook it back up to my TV when I get home.
Playing games? ^^
Maybe… ;)
Snag yourself a battery pack for traveling. I got a baesus 65w one off Amazon for $38 when it went on sale.
Most important thing? Have fun. Don’t get wrapped up in fps limits and tweaking unless your game isn’t running to satisfaction. There’s a lot you can adjust and tinker with but it’s easy to get lost in that.
Also, beware the rabbit hole of custom bindings.
But, also, how did I go an entire year without finding out about radial pop-up touch menus on the touchpads? HFS, I’ll never get to play a game again for all the time I could spend messing with those.
I use mine for steam link so I can loung around the house while grinding my arcanist.
I will test this.
the battery live is like 4 or 5 hours while streaming. you also don’t have the fans blasting.
