We’ve built an awesome Steam Box. It’s small and efficient, yet has the grunt to offer awesome graphics in today’s most demanding games. The computer, which comes with Ubuntu 12.10 and Steam pre-installed, serves up a Core i3 processor and a Radeon HD 7770 graphics card. Yet we also managed to squeeze in a third-party CPU cooler and a reliable Antec power supply.

Fortunately, that’s part of our job, and we came across this terrific offer while looking through Dell promotions:

Steam Deck 2: everything we know so far
Steam Deck held between two hands.

It's a matter of when we'll see the Steam Deck 2, not if we'll see it. Valve has talked publicly multiple times about its plans for a next-gen Steam Deck, which shouldn't come as a surprise given that the original is easily the best handheld gaming PC you can buy.

Although the Steam Deck 2 is still a few years off, Valve has been dropping hints about the handheld for a while. Here's everything we know about the Steam Deck 2 right now, from the possible release date to details on specs and performance.

A PSU, or a power supply unit, is a more important aspect of your PC than you might think.
