Will Steam remember my saves if I uninstall Deus Ex: HR?

Question

I couldn't run DX:HR with the graphics up all the way so I took them down a notch until I got a new computer.

Do I have to move my save files to my new computer to keep my character?

Or do they save in steam so I can play them on my new computer without saving them and moving them?

Answer

One of the nice features of Steam is that it lets you install your games on more than one computer at a time.

If you can set up your new computer without tearing down your old one, install Steam and DX:HR on the new one (you'll have to eventually, after all) and see if your saved games are grabbed from the cloud. If not, copy them over from your old computer.

Googling for "deus ex human revolution saved games cloud" turns up a number of people having problems getting their saves into — or deleting them from — the cloud, which rather strongly implies that the normal behavior is to keep them there.
