As can be figured out from the video, the handheld device has a fan and all the cooling components in the middle. Judging by how the console is designed, the fan should work well and help keep the temperatures under control. Another major visible component is the battery.

As per the official data, the Steam Deck will have a 40Whr battery that will be compatible with any 45W USB Type-C charger or connector. As per Valve, the battery will last for around 5 to 6 hours on one charge and will even depend on the amount of usage.

Valve even talked about the SSD storage that comes with the device. Except for the base model, both the versions of Steam Deck will feature SSDs. According to Valve, users should not replace or upgrade the in-built SSD. Rather, users should go for the SD card option. The console has an SD card slot present apart from the base version. Furthermore, all versions of the Steam Deck use an m.2 connector, including the version with the eMMC drive.
