The Steam Deck is a hand-held gaming device that at its core is essentially the same hardware seen in a laptop or tablet, but with an included built-in gamepad rather than keyboard.

CPU Custom AMD Zen 2 “Van Gogh,” 4 cores, 8 threads, 2.4 - 3.5 GHz
Graphics Van Gogh [AMD Custom GPU 0405]
Memory Quad-channel 16GB LPDDR5 4266MT/s
Screen 7in 800×1280 60Hz
Storage M.2 2230 NVMe slot
Wireless RTL8822CE 802.11ac
Bluetooth IMC Networks (13d3:3553)
Audio Rembrandt Radeon High Definition Audio Controller
Touchpad Dual touch-pads and touch-screen
Battery HF8095 OEM: 40.6 Wh, ACPI accessible
BIOS Custom

The Steam Deck may lock up during boot with the last message on the console displaying “atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED]”. To get beyond this point, edit the /boot/device.hints file and comment out every line. This file is for supporting legacy hardware (ex: ISA bus and floppy disks) which isn't available on the Steam Deck so has no practical use on this device.
