Another USB C port would be awesome. And better hardware of course, so I can also play new AAA games. And not really related to the deck it self but the steam shop kinda sucks on the deck.

Until a competitor does a console with track pads and back buttons the Steam Deck will remain unrivalled as far as I'm concerned. It's insane to me that none of the other handhelds have implemented these.

I doubt it because it would block your vent exhaust and power/vol buttons. And you also don’t want to risk damaging the USB-C port on steam deck - it’s soldered to the board and not easily replaced

Okay so here's the (technically) awesome part. All our steam decks are part of a giant hivemind that propagates someone's work to the other steam decks to spare them the work. Shaders are necessary, it's a fact. You can't get around them. Shaders have to be calculated on a "per device configuration"

Steam deck is the only way I have time to play WoW now as a new father. I've been playing on my lunch break in a work truck using my phones mobile hotspot. Works surprisingly well actually. Apparently, classic WoW uses very little data and plays fine, even with spotty 4G service.

Bluetooth for my AirPods That’s the reason I’m still using my steam deck with PXPlay more than the portal. PS: I really hate your shoes

Happens to my SD every day. Sadly, still no solution from Valve. The only thing that you can do is restart your SD.

As an old person who never stopped gaming, this entire 'save files backed up to Valve's cloud automaticaly' thing will forever be the best thing ever. Playing something at home on my 5070ti and then on my SD later is absolutely seamless. There was a point I wouldn't have understood that could be a t
