Totally normal! The Steam Deck has a lot of power packed into a small device, so a bit of heat is expected.

Yep, it's normal. Just like with gaming laptops, intense gaming can make it run hot. Don't worry unless it starts to overheat or shut down.

Yes, the Steam Deck can get hot, especially during intense gaming sessions. It's designed to handle it though!

No worries! Mine gets warm during extended play, but it's built to manage the heat. Just give it some ventilation space.
