Hey folks, I wanna gift a steam deck to myself. The main games I’ll (infrequently) play on there are CS:Go and age of empires 2 HD, both of which I own and never get a chance to play on a regular PC.

I suppose I want the OLED one. Is it ok to go for the 64 GB version or should I go for the higher storage tier? It has expandable storage yeah? Or is that not reliable or fast enough?

Also, what’s going on with the pricing? It’s just obviously better to buy direct. Why are people trying to sell it on Amazon? I get people trying to sell on eBay and Craigslist but Amazon? What’s the deal there?

Is the increased battery life coming from the OLED screen, or did they improve the motherboard/CPU efficiency as well?

  Yes to those and the battery is bigger. 50Wh vs 40

  I believe the OLED screen is thinner, so they had more space for the battery. And then they also improved the efficiency of the SoC.
