There are also standard L1/L2 triggers and bumpers as well as R4 and R5 buttons on the back. But those are pushed way up on the device by twin trackpads, one on either side of the screen. Sure, there's a D-Pad, two thumbsticks, and ABXY buttons. Until there's more hands-on experience, the button layout may be divisive. Steam claims that the 40 Whr battery will last between 2–8 hours when gaming, which isn't much, but also isn't shocking when you remember how long either the Switch (up to nine hours) or most gaming laptops last. Pricing for the dock is yet to be announced. There will also be a dock, sold separately, with Ethernet, DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and USB-A ports.
Valve's design is reminiscent of the Nintendo Switch, with controls on either side of its 7-inch, 1280x800 touch display (that's a 16:10 aspect ratio for those doing the math). For $529, you'll get a 256GB NVMe SSD, while the $649 version has a 512GB NVMe SSD as well as anti-glare glass on the display, plus a few other extras. The $399 base model will have 64GB EMMB storage. For a device of this sort, the 4-core Zen 2 CPU should prove more than sufficient, and pairing AMD's RDNA2 with higher bandwidth LPDDR5 will potentially make this the fastest integrated graphics solution we've ever seen (outside of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, of course).
Additionally, there's 16GB LPDDR5 RAM (5500 MT/s) and a high-speed microSD card slot. The handheld runs on a custom APU from Valve and AMD, with a 4 core/8 thread Zen 2 processor ranging from 2.4–3.5 GHz and RDNA 2 graphics (8 compute units, running at 1.0–1.6 GHz). The Steam Deck will release in December 2021, starting at $399 for a version with 64GB of eMMC storage. Valve has taken the wraps off of its long-rumored handheld.
