\n<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019ll arrive this<\/em> November in the same primary configurations Valve sells elsewhere: a 256GB configuration of the original LCD model, or 512GB and 1TB versions of the newer OLED model that also come with longer battery life, a better screen, and more. They\u2019ll cost AUD $649, $899, and $1,049 respectively. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

(While the OLED model does cost $250 AUD more than the original, it has so many important changes<\/a> that I\u2019d personally recommend it over the LCD version to anyone who can afford it.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While even the OLED model will be an entire year old by the time it arrives in Australia, there\u2019s no current indication that Valve will release a faster, better version anytime soon<\/a> \u2014 and no handheld running Windows can currently match it for portable ease-of-use, even though some have an edge in performance and the Asus ROG Ally X<\/a> can also beat it in AAA gaming battery life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That said, Valve may also bring its SteamOS to rival handhelds<\/a> like the Asus ROG Ally X before too many more months go by, and I\u2019ve been very impressed when running Bazzite\u2019s version of the SteamOS interface on my Ally X review unit (though it has its wrinkles).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you\u2019re at PAX Australia in Melbourne, you can try the Steam Deck at Valve\u2019s booth today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
