Neat. Maybe someone will make a drop in backplate with a machined heat spreader … if it fits in the carry case, I’d buy one for sure.

Hi! You must be new to LTT.The external heatsink is stupid.
Lol no, I've seen his videos since the beginning. It seems like they go through waves of decent content and crap content. Also his new hair cut is stupid. When he grew the beard he somewhat seemed like a man.... the hair kills it now though lol.Hi! You must be new to LTT.

I just find it off putting that a guy nearly my age acts so immature. I guess it works with the younger audience though, he seems a lot more normal on his podcast though.
The heat sink mod is not impossible to do practically though. I have a 3d printer sized cnc router that is "supposed" to be able to cut aluminum.
If I were going to do it. I would get a spare back case and cut it out to fit a 1/4" thick aluminum plate with fins machined into it Have it run left to right over 3/4 of the back area of the device. Mill out the center for a low profile fan and but a plate on top of the heatsink to cap it off and force air flow and have vents on both ends to exhaust hot air.
Not to scale, because I just grabbed a random fan off grab cad, but it wouldn't matter anyway. You would need to mod it to raise tdp to get any use out of it.

Lucky!Finally got my email - July 19, 2021 to Aug 1, 2022. Might have it by the end of the week.
I reserved the 64 GB when the queue opened on July 17 last year, then a couple days later found out about the 2230 SSD. The options for that form factor sucked last year, and still suck today. (Micron announced a 2TB 2230 months ago, but it still isn't available.)Lucky!
I ordered it the day it was announced. Still just shows I'll get it this quarter.
I've been playing some Civ V and VI, getting used to the controls. I've always been hardcore KB/mouse, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of the Deck.
For Civ, I reduced the sensitivity of the right trackpad and stick that both control the mouse pointer. The left stick that scrolls around the map is fine for me. It's very nice that controller settings are per game and not global.I've found that the default joystick settings are a little under-sensitive.
Do you have small hands? Because the size is one of the things I like about. I can’t actually play on other handhelds. They make my hands cramp in 10 minutes or less.Had it for a bit. My main gripe is the size. Horizontally it seem disproportionate to the screen. Overall width is Screen Width x2. The pictures lie. Needs to be about 30% less wide.

I wish my friend that had a gigantic AA battery-swilling neo geo in the early 90's didn't move away in 1998 because I'd love to hold it and the steam deck back to back with my adult hands.Do you have small hands?

Mine should be here Thursday. Its been a long wait since pre-order...
It's a long wait, but worth it! This will definitely replace my switch when I'm at work.Mine should be here Thursday. Its been a long wait since pre-order...
Uh, what? I don't think you're necessarily supposed to be playing games while at work . How on Earth do you get away with THAT?It's a long wait, but worth it! This will definitely replace my switch when I'm at work.
I got lucky! I work a late shift working customer service. From 7 pm - 1 am it slows to a crawl, I get 1 - 4 calls an hour. So, while the younger kids are on their phones, I'm on my switch, soon to be steam deck.Uh, what? I don't think you're necessarily supposed to be playing games while at work .
