It’s certainly an ambitious task, but one that Valve mostly pulls off.

The Steam Deck is one of the most eagerly anticipated product launches in recent times, with Valve trying its hand at making a handheld console. Check out our original review below to see if a Steam Deck is a good fit for you. We loved the Steam Deck when we first tested it out in February 2022 despite some of its flaws, so the most recent updates truly showcase the potential of the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck’s continual updates show that it’s a handheld system steadily improving from its already impressive reviews. The only drawback of the fan update is the slightly raised temperature of the Steam Deck CPU. However, it’s said that the latest Steam Deck update has tried to correct the fan whining, reducing the fan’s pitch and making it run almost silently. One issue that hasn’t quite been solved yet is the whine from the Steam Deck’s fan which can be high-pitched and grating, even if it isn’t particularly loud. Users can now switch between windows in the same application, like web browser tabs. Valve is working on other keyboard layouts as well, including Korean, Japanese, and Chinese. There have been multiple Steam Deck keyboard updates resulting in 21 different languages and various layouts available beyond the standard QWERTY English keyboard.
