Definition: Steam Deck
A handheld gaming console from Valve. Launched in early 2022 and running SteamOS, the Deck functions like a portable gaming PC, supporting the huge variety of PC games on the market (more than 3,000 have been verified by Valve). Updates to the Deck added an adjustable screen rate between 40 and 60 Hz that can be changed on the fly, and graphics options can be set for each game. See Steam.
The Steam Deck
An x86 console based on an integrated CPU/GPU chip from AMD (see APU), the Deck is 16 inches wide and weighs 3 1/2 pounds. Although a portable console, the Deck can be attached to a monitor, and games from a PC can be streamed to the device. (Image courtesy of Amazon.com.)
