No complaints there, glad I didn't pay extra for the more expensive model.

For the first few days the size really stood out to me, but now I look at it and it doesn't seem so huge now that I'm used to it. It feels very comfortable, and in big hands like mine it just fits perfectly. Upon opening the box, I realized just how big the Deck is. I received my Deck on a weekend, 3 days after it was shipped. Regardless I luckily had no trouble, so I'm happy. And while using the case as protection during shipping is genius, I think many would have faired better if the current Deck box was sat inside a slightly bigger shipping box with padding or shipping materials inside, just to cushion the blow. You HAVE to take into account that drivers just throw these boxes around. Maybe Valve should have used a bigger shipping box with padding inside to protect a device that retails for above $399. I think no matter what shipping service Valve decided to use there would be problems. I literally had a package sent by USPS that was supposed to be sent across my town here in Florida, sent all the way to Alaska. I was an eBay and Amazon seller for many years. I am happy to confirm my Deck arrived in one piece. I'll also give my views on the device as a developer, as I have one game published on Steam with two more coming this year. Instead I'll give you my general thoughts on the shipping process, hardware, and software, with software broken down into the two operating systems SteamOS & Windows 11. I'm not going to spend all day writing this, because every little detail seems silly. Because after spending many hours setting it up, it's now the portable gaming PC I always dreamed about: and at an amazing price. Because there are many positives to the device, but it isn't perfect. I hope this review will give those who are waiting for the Deck something to think about. If you scroll through the sub each day, it's nothing but FedEx complaints. If you mention Windows, you get downvoted. I finally decided to post my thoughts on the device at the 75 days of ownership mark, especially because I'm seeing this sub go further and further downhill. But I found myself too busy, and also too engrossed in my Deck to be bothered.

When it finally did arrive 75 days ago, I thought I would post everyday on here. I was really active on this sub while I was waiting for my 64gb unit to arrive.
