If you want to buy a Steam Deck on offer, you should definitely not choose the wrong model

earthpressnews

The Steam Deck is currently available on Steam. You can still save 20% on the most expensive model. But if you want to buy such a device, you should be careful. Because one device in particular is not a recommendation.

If you want to buy a Steam deck, you have three options:

  • The smallest model with 64 GB for 377.10 euros.
  • The middle model with 256 GB for 466.65 euros.
  • And the most expensive model with 512 GB of memory for 543.20 euros.

    • Depending on the model, you can save between 10% and 20% on your purchase. However, you should not rush to the cheapest model. Because that has a decisive disadvantage that more and more players can feel today.

    Don’t buy the cheapest model from the Steam Deck

    Basically, you get the same hardware with every device: Every device has the same chip from AMD and 16 GB of RAM. The most expensive model also offers an anti-glare display as a bonus and you get a few digital goodies such as profile symbols.

    At first glance, you could say: I’ll buy the cheapest model. Because all the other stuff doesn’t interest me.

    Why is the smallest model the worst choice? The smallest model has one problem in particular and that is the system memory. It only offers you 64 GB and that’s already borderline in 2023. Because many modern games already require several dozen GB of memory and if you don’t just want to install indie games, the memory is already full after one or two games. Many are wondering whether 1 TB of storage space is even enough these days:

    You could not install Final Fantasy XIV or Destiny 2 on the smallest Steam Deck. And New World runs very well on the Steam Deck, as MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann was able to show you in a test.

    Can’t you buy a memory card? Yes, you can basically expand even the smallest model with a memory card, which will cost you 50 euros in stores. But you could also go straight to the more expensive model, which also offers you even faster memory.

    If you now find that the Steam Deck is not for you: There are now a number of alternatives on the market that can offer you mobile gaming on the go or at least at home. We present the most interesting devices to you on MeinMMO:
