I kinda dont even care anymore and am tempted to just buy a switch lite. I dont think i care as much as i thought although tis cool. If i didnt have to wait so long, maybe. The fact that i can just go to the store and buy the lite, is quite appealing atm.

      Linux has way better drivers for AMD, and even Windows games on SteamOS via Proton often run faster than on Windows on a Steam Deck because of this (though not all of them, of course), so it would probably run better overall. Someone should try installing any decent GNU/Linux distro on this (not necessarily SteamOS).

    • @LG1ikLx
      @LG1ikLx 2 года назад +1

      Tbh with you I think games would perform about the same, maybe slightly worse unless the games native to Linux then you mite get slightly better performance with good GPU drivers.
      Allot of GPU drivers for Linux tend to be old unless you get some decent 3rd party ones. Ontop of that you always have to use Wine to emulate directx graphics. (Proton is built from the wine source).
      That being said gaming on Linux has come such a long way. It's impossible to say how much Valve has done for the Linux gaming community. If the Steam deck continues to be successful maybe people will consider using Linux on other devices aswell. Especially with Microsoft's TPM 2.0 requirement as not everyone can afford to spend money on a new motherboard and CPU with those features. Linux mite be their only option to have a secure PC.
      Linux is better then Windows. But windows gets more support.

    don't get me wrong. The Aya Neo does have some slight benefits like assetetetics and smaller form. the 400 steam deck still out performs the neo on the 1000 dollar model. It's like this: in my opinion, 1000 bucks should not be handheld territory, period. but more gaming desktop/laptop territory. That's why the steam deck seems more of not even just the price conscious choice here, but also better performance and logical choice hands down. Me personally, I'm happy with my switch so I wouldn't invest in a steam deck or Aya Neo at this price point. I'd assume just getting a gaming rig.

      That's the only advantage Valve has for now. Once and if these companies can have some store and leverage that they can easily become a competitor. In absence of any such store all these companies are left with is innovation. Their purpose is to sell what's like 5000 units and move to next powerful SOC. Till Valve starts utilizing the 7000u series these Companies will have something to sell since a lot of these Chinese Companies have already moved to 6800u which is considerably more powerful than the custom SOC inside Steam Deck. So at least people can say that they are playing for some premium powerful device. Steam off course cannot afford to do that because it has to look how Deck has an effect on sales in steam store.

    God, they were so close. The concept was so compelling, but that battery life kills it all. I could even deal with the old Vega graphics and performance, but if I'm going to have constant battery anxiety, not worth it. That OLED screen had me hooked too. I just cancelled my preorder, but luckily, I have a Steam Deck coming next week. I was planning to sell the Deck and Keep the Air, but I guess my plans just changed. I heard from way too many sources that both models have battery issues, and OLED isn't going to help with that. I hate to go back to an LED display after being spoiled by my gaming monitor, phone, and Switch OLED, but the Steam Deck it is.

Not much difference, but I did hear that the Steam Deck is optimized to drain the battery slower than off the shelf hardware like thats been slapped together.

      @@jesusbarrera6916 Yeah but consoles are loss leaders. So they often lose money on consoles hoping that games and services make them the profit. So the PS5 will lose money, but they rely on a portion of every game sold (even more for the exclusives) and various services. The steam deck is the same. If they can bring in an entire legion of new PC gamers who were bound to the Switch, then they can get even further ahead as the leading PC game platform. They lose money on the Steam Deck.
      It's only after like 5 years that something like the PS4 actually makes money on console sales, once the manufacturing process is more cost effect and parts are way cheaper considering how much older they are. Someone like Ayaneo can't compete on price simply because they need to make a profit on the console itself.
      Also, on your original point, modern consoles are basically just PCs at this point. That's why the games are now being ported easily to PC whereas in previous generations it was really difficult.

    If AAA games aren't even decently playable on any of these devices (I include the battery life with that statement), instead of dropping several hundreds to a grand on one of these, I think most people are better off just waiting for something like the Ayaneo Air Plus. Despite the name sounding like an upgrade from the Ayaneo Air unit's in this video, the upcoming Plus model will have a much weaker graphics chipset inside of it that will run way older games and indie games really well, and it'll only cost a couple of hundred dollars in comparison to any of these other choices( I think they start at 250-300 bucks). No OLED screen, but it's a fuller 6 inch display and roughly the same size profile as the original Air units. Anyone looking for a companion to their main rig that just wants something handheld for their indie games would be better off getting something like this.

Why wouldn't you always choose a Steam Deck over any of the others? it's from a reputable company with a deep history and understands the gaming space fully compared to a company that sells devices often thrown together from left over parts with little thought or attention. Some of these devices cost close to 1000 can you imagine if one day it stops working, blows up or there's an issue that affects a specific model if they decide to close up shop or shrug it off and offer no help that's a lot of money for a potential paperweight.
