The Steam Deck LCD delivers strong performance and excellent value at $399, making it one of the best handheld PCs despite its bulky design and limited battery life. It remains a compelling choice for at-home gaming or short trips, though Bluetooth issues and inferior display quality compared to the OLED model are notable drawbacks.
