Actually I disagree. Using a Steam Deck docked in desktop mode I was able to run out of memory by playing Minecraft while having one browser tab open (YouTube) and Discord.
I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, but you have to keep in mind that the SteamDeck’s 16GB of LPDDR5 is both VRAM and system memory and the Steam Deck dynamically allocates it based on need.
And that’s before we even consider doing something wacky like using the Steam Deck for Dev work or 3D modeling or other more “normal computer” uses.
