There is always a faster computer
and it's always the chinese who have it
Steam Deck was out specced by a slew of other things, that really wasn't the point though. Price, unique controller functionality, and SteamOS support were.
And the thing in your pic is no where near the 399 entry point of the steamdeck
>>And the thing in your pic is no where near the 399 entry point of the steamdeck
>faster and better thing more expensive
yeah it's 890
but you want the 650 Deck anyways, frick the plastic screen and eMMC memory
Or you can just install your own SSD in the 399 one or use an sd card. The only difference in the decks is simply the internal storage and carry bag
>Or you can just install your own SSD in the 399 one or use an sd card.
Not anon, but didn't the 399 lack a NVMe port? I remember reading it only had onboard eMMC and expandable storage was only with microSD?
You can upgrade the SSD in the base model

It's simply anti glare, the thing in the OP is nice but without the controls the steam deck offers it feels like it would suck in games. The touch pads, flick controls, and R1/R2 trigger functions are pretty useful.
Based. When i stopped being a neet, i'll get one.
>The only difference in the decks
you forgot tempered glass screen vs plastic screen
There is no Steam Deck that has a plastic screen. The 64 and 256 GB models have regular glass screens and the 512 GB model has a nano etched glass screen.
>noo it's costs a fraction of a days wage more
cope
Still nothing that really matches it in it's price category, there was always going to be a Full-U handheld on the way.
Whats funnier is Alienware still haven't launched theirs despite showing the prototype 2-3 years ago and the response to the steam deck showing there is a lot of viability in the market.
Valve should've went with 128gb, 512gb, and 1tb options
>leaving out the price
I can guess why. It's the only factor that matters.
see
>what it's capable of doesn't matter
>the quality doesn't matter
>the cooling doesn't matter
>the battery life doesn't matter
>only thing that matters is price
buy a gameboy? you can get a knockoff one for 20 bucks
As if consumer cattle give a shit. Price and marketing are basically all that matters and Steamer Dick has the lowest prices with the highest e-celeb shilling.
Why does that matter to me? I want a good product, not a cheap one.
I'd still pick the good product that costs more over the shittier cheap one, even if I was the only person using it or if YouTube ecelebs said it's bad (when it's not).
>>the quality doesn't matter
>>the cooling doesn't matter
>>the battery life doesn't matter
Why are you implying chinkshit gives a shit about any of this?
Unironically yes. Some of the best devices I've had were niche chinkshit.
I guess west profits less, specially with things like Deck where they loose money anyways, so it's built extremely cheap, meanwhile Chang doesn't give a shit about 10 cents of copper that makes 10C difference when he already profits 40%.
so how do they design/build these handhelds? can you custom order one yourself if you pay them? I always wondered why china shits these things out when sanctions are supposed to prevent them from getting modern chips. Why can't we have this shit in the west?
>sanctions
What? There's no sanctions. They just can't make them. They import from the us/taiwan lmao
>can't we have this shit in the west?
Who do you think designs these and who do you think is buying them anon?
CPU is 25% faster and GPU is 30%
Insane
>Windows
I would only consider buying it if I can get rid of that cancer. I'm not paying money for any Windows devices anymore.
Windows is free on sub 10 inch devices. It also has SteamOS.
I don't know why you'd get a gaming device with limited performance and then make it worse though, who gives a shit about the OS for a device made of muh bing bing wahoo shit.
I already do all my gaming on a Linux PC and the performance is great.
>Windows is free on sub 10 inch devices
Even when I used Windows I never paid for it, I got the license from a sticker from a used laptop. Money has nothing to do with it, I wouldn't accept Windows even if they paid me. Windows is not getting into any of my devices and if a device comes with it, it gets wiped and replaced with Linux immediately.
>I already do all my gaming on a Linux PC and the performance is great.
it's not about great or not, it's about there always being either a overhead because you're running windows games or limited library because you're playing native linux games (most steam games are proton and not even native linux)
Frequently running proton is better for performance because it's not going to randomly shit the bed because of some fricked windows dll.
>Shitty "console" controls
Yeah, no.
>that """d-pad"""
lmao
why do you need a dpad at all? for retro games there's better and cheaper options

It does easy 60 FPS in PS3 emulation at 15W
That's kinda insane considering how power hungry the original PS3 was, we have come a long way
Can't wait for sub 14 inch laptops with 6800U
>Skate 3
Now do any intensive game like TLoU, RDR or GoW3
Well yeah, the original PS3 had 90nm chips. A total housefire
Huge caveat: By the time any of these actually launch and are available AMD will have debuted the Phoenix Point APU at CES, so the entire Rembrandt family will be outdated. Thats how tech works, brainlet. There is always something hotter just around the corner.

They're backordered at the moment, but I think the deal is still active. $861 is damn hard to beat.
Looks like shit.
muh looks
Ok, where can I get one
OP here, no idea and why would you even get one.
Still impressive performance for the size and power usage.
Will they support SteamOS?
Did you even look at OPs picture?
>no sliding keyboard
No thanks.
The fact that these handhelds are coming with SteamOS as an option is a big win for its longevity.
Yes. Lunix is less susceptible to planned obsolescence.
Let me guess, twice the price + tip
>$899
lmao ok
That's the cheapest model even, $1299 for the best model
>UMPCs for toddlers
why do techlets think specs after a point matter? it's about the power being put through those specs
guaranteed that thing runs like shit and has bad battery life and I dont even have a dog in this race
whats that?
An overpriced tablet with a game controller
im not buying a device that costs more than $25 from a manufacturer that exists for 6 months, in fact i try to avoid buying from those altogether because you probably get cancer from it
I have yet to see battery testing on any of these, yet it was the biggest criticism of the deck.
>8 cores on a gaming device when it's going to be bottle-necked by graphics
>1200p screen when most games will have to be played @720p because GPU is not good enough for more
I get the 8 core part - they are not valve and cannot ask AMD to make a special APU just for them that would prioritize graphics, but why insist on a higher-res screen that will be wasted anyway and just increase the price?
>but why insist on a higher-res screen that will be wasted anyway and just increase the price
So seething bugheld posters can participate in a dick measuring contest that doesn't even exist.
it's over I was only able to get 1200 on ebay for it instead of 1300
