Nice! I definitely plan to get a 256GB Steam Deck at some point in the near future.

"Deck Dock"

Rolls off the tongue quite nicely

Hrmm, is demand that low? Sorry to be pessimistic, but I'm would think demand should stay high through the holidays. Not a good sign.

Just do any crazy blender renders on the Deck's low-powered Zen 2 APU--unless you like waiting.

I think this was supposed to read as "Just don't do any crazy blender renders [etc...]"

The sentence doesn't really make sense otherwise.

Get the 512. I have the 256 and wish i would have gone bigger. Its nice and dandy you can put a big microsd but its unbearably slow by todays standards and for me is nothing more than staging to move to the main drive if i want to play the game. It also would be nice to have extra storage for any extra curricular activities i may get into.

Im surprised if this is lack of demand. Its quite a neat little product even with its flaws. I might even buy the little guy to turn it into a pentesting tool for s and giggles.

What I ended up doing was just ordering the 64GB model and opening it up and installing my own 512GB. It is pretty painless and there are guides online on how to do it.

The Dock will be a welcome addition for Deck users who want to convert their console into a desktop environment, paired to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Except they took so long that there are already other third-party docks out there for around half the price with similar functionality, or around a third the price for anyone not in need of wired ethernet. The price is arguably too high relative to competing options on the market.

As more and more people realize how many games their Steam account has and how many they buy per year they will slowly edge closer to buying a SteamDeck.
