Ill be travelling for a while soon so i was thinking of getting a deck for the long flights.

What size would you recommend ?

What’s the battery like when running games or watching movies ?

Any gotcha moments when running a deck?

    There are plenty of walkthroughs online. I used this one and was up and running pretty quickly. It took longer for me to dump ROMs. It plays Wipeout Pulse better than my PSP.

    Battery typically lasts around 1.5 hours on a modern game, a couple hours on an indie, but really depends on the games. I watch movies on VLC in the Deck’s desktop mode and can get through at least 4 or 5 hours.

    If you’re worried about battery life, there are high-wattage power banks you can get that work with the steam deck, though you’re looking at around $100 or more. The plus side is they will also charge whatever else you bring with you.
