My Steamdeck is my preferred method of handheld gaming. Works amazingly.

The only problem is the size. I'm 6'3 with large hands and it fits me perfectly, but my wife is 5'2 and has to buy children's gloves, so she can't use it.

Great device but a bit big for my pocket :)

Yeah, I don't have a spare $300-500 on me.

LPT: buy the base model. You can get a matte screen protector and a 1TB ssd for like $150. It's stupid easy to replace the ssd.

Okay, but, again, I don't have the cash for something that expensive. Even the base model is $400.
