    You can see the full price comparison as well as the compare hardware difference between Steam Deck and other consoles. Nintendo Switch is quite a close competitor to Steam Deck, but the issue is you cannot just play Switch games. You’ll have to use an emulator that requires technical work. This handheld console comes in three size variations, otherwise, all will be powered by an AMD chip. They are 64 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. Steam Deck lets you play games directly from Steam Library. What matters now is to find what operating system it will run on. Steam OS was introduced long back which was part of Steam machines dedicated only for gaming. That did not go well, I think gamers still love to go with Windows 10.

    We are going to bring a lot of updates for Steam Deck in the future, do stay tune to TechNClub. And happy gaming.
