Valve finally made a white Steam Deck that you can actually buy

It’s no different on the inside than a normal model, says Valve:

Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White has all the same specs as the Steam Deck OLED 1TB model, but in white and grey. It also comes with an exclusive white carrying case and white microfiber cleaning cloth.

Since the 1TB OLED normally costs $649, you’re effectively paying $30 for the color. Valve says it’s allocated stock proportionally across each region, but once it’s sold out, it won’t be making any more.

Below, find a few more images of it direct from Valve.

I still highly recommend the Steam Deck OLED, though I could see some buyers picking an Asus ROG Ally X instead for its notable performance and decent battery life advantages, particularly if they decide to dual-boot the Bazzite operating system (which makes it feel a lot like a Steam Deck) alongside Windows.

(Yes, the ROG Ally X is a black variant of an originally white handheld, and this Steam Deck is the opposite.)

Here’s what the old Valve prototype looked like, straight out of Portal with an Aperture Science logo on the back:

Here’s hoping someone will print up some high quality Portal stickers, and perhaps we can add our own orange and blue Portal thumbstick covers or something.
