Work out all your financial commitments currently, and then decide how much surplus you have left after paying those/clearing debt/ensuring you have an emergency fund, etc. Priority payments and existing financial commitments come ahead of toys, always.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

They all have exactly the same performance, the only difference is the storage size which they recommend you expand with microSD cards, however as only the top model is available and as it has been that way for some time and is expected to be that way for several more months then the best model is the one you can actually buy.Yellowsub2000 said:Which steam deck is the best one?

No one knows at the moment, but as they cannot keep up with demand even only selling the most expensive model and the only difference is the storage, which is not a supply constrained part I would imagine it will be still be some time. Speculation points at it being at some point later this year, but no one apart from Valve know for sure.

Think it has expandable storage so you could get the cheap one and get an SD card to save cash0
