As a secondary device to play games besides my big PC, yes. But lot of people have no other PC and the Steam Deck is the only device. Given that some games come at 100gb install size, and people want to install multiple games, 256gb can be low. I use internal space for Steam games and all stuff, and have an 512gb external card just for emulators and Roms.
Steam deck is my only device. I have the 512 oled and am very happy with it. I know other people for whom it’s their only device, I don’t think it’s uncommon. Obviously we have phones, but either don’t need a computer or use one at work and don’t want one at home. Plus the steam deck is a linux computer in a pinch.
Honestly, I don’t think there’s much difference. My mate has an LCD, deck, we’ve put them next to each other and they’re both good. Maybe the oled is a bit better in bright rooms. If price is an issue I think you’ll be fine with the LCD.
256GB ought to be enough for anyone!
I run most of my games off an SD card and it’s been fine.
(It seems people have not heard of the Bill Gates 640KB quote and/or my delivery is off)
And even if it is not, upgrading the ssd was really easy.

Hence me saying games run fine off an SD card after a reference to a quote falsely attributed to Bill Gates 😁
I highly doubt there are many people that only have a Steam Deck and not a gaming PC.

How good is the Oled? I’m bouncing between shelling out for it over the lcd.

Yeah, I think the lcd is on sale atm too… >.<
Thanks for your input!!
I do. Guess the question is, what is “many” for you? 1% of all PC users? 5%?
hello. I run a steam deck as my main Gaming device and I don’t own a gaming PC. it is nice to meet you.
It’s definitely not enough, I filled it in no time. SD card works fine for me, tho.
