You can impose a wattage limit if you'd like, and Steam OS will then throttle the device to only use the amount of power you chose for it.

Games like Portal, Grand Theft Auto: V, and Half-Life are among some of the stellar titles that I've been able to play on the go, and I'm amazed by just how well it all works. It's one of the best investments I've made in a long time, and it has consumed a ton of my free time since I picked it up. I've been using the Steam Deck for a few weeks now after I bought it the same day they opened up for general sale, and I have been loving it. Forget the Nintendo Switch, Valve has taken that form factor, strapped rockets to it, and flown further than Nintendo has ever gone. It's a gaming handheld that has one significant leg up over every other traditional handheld in the industry: It plays PC games.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard of Valve's Steam Deck. Design: Huge but surprisingly comfortable.
