So far been running at a solid 720p60 even capped at 6 watts. No bugs that I've noticed.

How worth it is the steam deck at the current price point? Thinking of buying one.

I've had one for a little under a year and I pretty much use it most days. Typically I'm playing more indie titles, but it'll play most games at a playable frame rate with a bit of settings tweaking

I love mine. Just depends on what you want. It's an emulation powerhouse. It's going to struggle with AAA games. Lower graphics and older games will work great, for the most part.

I can’t recommend it enough. The compatibility rating on the steam game pages is pretty conservative but that’s a good indication on what you can expect to play. I installed emudeck recently so that opens up a lot of possibilities.

I've had one since a few months after release. For the most part it has been a brotatodeck. Play at least one game most days. I put a fair number of hours of HOT into it last week. I have a few most hardest level brotato characters to finish. Then I'll focus on HOT. It has totally been worth the money for me. I was playing the led switch and basically quit when I got the deck. There is still a lot of battlebit being played on my PC, but if I'm going anywhere the deck comes.

Best value per buck you can get in gaming IMO. It's super versatile, just works and all around brilliant machine. I use it as home desktop as well.
