Why The Steam Deck Is Better Than A Gaming PC...

- Ever since a year ago, the Steam Deck was a huge surprise for console and PC gamers alike, myself included. Whether it be a $4,000 gaming rig or a $2,000 laptop, The Steam Deck seems to hold it's own with compatibility, and surprisingly with performance. But Is It better than a Gaming laptop?
Let's find out.
Steam Deck is what pushed me to Linux finally... After 30+ yrs of using windows, I am free!
FRREEEDDOOOM!!!
I have erase linux and replace with windows to play all game i want..i can t imagine a gaming console without cod
@@jeanfrancoisjulien8890 maybe you should try other games then, COD isn't exactly that great given it's mostly ment to milk your wallet.
Switched all my hardware to Linux even before my Steamdeck arrived, lots of te games I want to play are fairly old or have no issues playing via Proton anyways, the only major game I can't play right now is Halo Infinite, and given that's a train wreck anyway nothing of value is being missed.
Now I just gotta decide if I'm playing Hifi Rush or Fallout New Vegas today XD
Welcome on board!
@@jeanfrancoisjulien8890 I love Doom Eternal and it works flawlessly on the SDeck. Cod should only be play on a pc or different console where connectivity isn't a problem. Cod single player suck, maybe with the exception of black ops zombies.
What made me truly fall in love with the deck is the decky plug-ins and cryo utilities. Plug ins like vibrant deck, mixed with the cryo boost has made this thing mind blowing. I take it to work and play it more when I get home from work. Its phenomenal
Dang I haven’t tried Cryo utilities yet, I’m assuming it helps with performance? (I know it helps with shaders) and that’s awesome, I take it to work and school, it should be illegal how good this tech is. Valve did an amazing job full stop.
@@ChristopherToro oh yes ! 5-10% fps boost. But more importantly much more stable fps. Cmon man it only takes 5-10 minutes to setup (including changing vram from 1gb minimum to 4gb minimum in the bios). Just do it, we all have it.
Yeah cryo adds even more incredible value. I don’t even touch my desktop anymore because of the connivence of the deck. It’s become my most beloved device tbh.
That little steamdeck vibin up right is so fucking cute
Steamdeck IS pushing devs to do better for PC gaming. They didn't have to care before steamdeck.
Valve pretty much inserted themselves in the vacuum left after Sony abandoned the PlayStation vita .There is a high demand for the steam deck in the Asian market as well even in Japan.I believe that the steam deck and portable consoles like the switch can coexist both in the marketplace and in people’s homes .
Some very good points. I've not been a 'serious' gamer for a long time. Probably Dreamcast/ Xbox360/Wii/PS2 time - my PS3 didn't get that much use. I debated Steam Deck vs OneX player 2 for a while, and leaned towards the latter because I thought I'd use it partly for 'work'. I went with the SD in the end, after the reports of windows being usable, and there's a big user base to solve problems as well as Valve being more responsive, and of course it's cheap (i got the 64GB and put in a Sabrent 1TB). My big surprise was being able to play Baku Baku animal on the SD (via Batocera, and now emuDeck) - previously I thought it would only run on mednafen on a pc and thus part of my desire to have a windows functionality. Currently I play mostly Tetris LOL. I have installed windows 11 with MS office on a separate partition and it seems ok (I'm going to be super careful with updates as I think it wrecked dual boot) and it works very well with an external monitor and keyboard/ mouse. I'm half tempted to get another during the 10% sale LOL
I was never into pc games before I got my deck. Now I never play my switch and it honestly isn't too hard for a newbie to figure out how to configure to get decent settings. I love how versatile and powerful it is. My only gripe is it can be a pain configuring controls for emulated games. I still have been unable to play some wii games as I cannot get the controls configured correctly.
Even my Desktop has seen less use lately after my Deck arrived, lots of fun customization from Cryoutilities to changing boot videos, playing my steam library or emulating the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Halo CE... heck, I've even been playing Metroid Dread from the Switch, on the Deck.
My poor switch is basically collecting dust, amd my Desktop has been Running Linux for over a year now so when I do boot it up, it's still familiar to use alongside my Steamdeck.
Eager to see Valve's next generation VR Headset since my old Windows Mixed Reality headset is incompatible with Linux, that's my only major blindspot atm
You deserve more subs. Great video!!
Well done
Awesome
Should becreceiving mine soon
It’s gonna blow your freakin mind
Since I got my deck I have used my gaming pc so much less.I just connect my keyboard and mouse to a hub with my steam deck and play games on a 50" TV from my couch. I had never heard of Linux before the steam deck came round, but I am enjoying the experience getting games to emulate on my deck on the desktop. My pc is also ancient and some games would not play on it that my steam deck plays perfectly like Doom. Also being able to play pc games wherever I go,weather at work on my break or in the back of the car on road trips has been great.
I have a gaming PC with a ryzen 5600x and an rtx 3070 and somehow I'm enjoying this new steam deck OLED more. Sure, the desktop can crank all the settings up and get better framerates, but somehow the deck just "feels" better.
I think I'm gonna have to chock it up to less system bloat due to not having to run windows and there's just got to be some better latency there. It just feels more snappy and smoother of an experience. It also helps that this OLED panel is literally the most beautiful screen I've ever seen. I don't think my desktop will be getting much love for a while.
Honestly I feel like a budget pc offers way more and you can just use steam link or remote desktop with your phone and a telescopic controller. At this point in time I can build a pc with a r5 5600x, 5700xt, 32bg of 3200mhz cl 16 and a 1tb ssd (mostly new parts) for under $600 that should out perform the deck. For closer to $500 you could use a r5 3600 and 16gb ram and maybe a smaller ssd.
Been a Xbox fan all my life got the steam deck… Xbox collects dust now
I think it's about expectations. You'll get more frustrated with a 1,000 dollar pc when something so minimal went wrong because you expect it to work like a charm without any problem because it is so expensive so why have a problem at all?
Compared to steam deck, you'll be glad that something works at all with how cheap or small that thing is. You have no expectations at all but here's the steam deck, exceeding said expectations.
Pretty sure you're gonna be more happy in the 2nd example.
Steam deck 2 will have non gamers switching to linux finally in large numbers...
13:12 HEY THATS MY LAPTOP ON THE LEFT WITH RED LOGO ITS AN HP OMEN BUT NOW I HAVE TWO STEAMDECKS I RARELY TOUCH IT ANYMORE
Its definitely not better than a pc or laptop, sorry.
Only because of performance... its not bad but a laptop has so much. Obviously a desktop is way better.
But you have an alienware pc so that might be why you titled the video steamdeck is better than pc.
It really depends on if you play online games or offline games
The steam deck is what made me go back to pc gaming. As someone who hates windows and think is a piece of shit midiocre OS, i'm glad valve created this device. Hopefully we get another steam deck so that we can finnaly be free from that mediocre buggy OS called windows. This is why i will never buy a gaming pc ever again. My last gaming pc was a nightmare. The steam deck is a console like experience. I buy all of my indies on my steam deck now and only use my swith for exclusives. My main gaming machine is of course my ps5. Hopefully linix becomes main streeam.
Very well put together video.
That Steam Deck is a Goddamn Beast.. I it's the only reason why I'm on Steam now.. Making these Developers work Lol.
These developers are SWEATIN’ when they see that unplayable grade. 😓😂
I bought a deck over an xbox series x and playstation 5
06:15 is the best thing I saw . Thank you
Atleast we can play a wide range of games unlike you people only few indie and aaa and sony and aaa games like rockstar too doesn't mention this garbage
Valve is like a PC Gaming counterpart to Nintendo not on a hardware point obviously but in a strong belief in quality in whatever they put there all in that other company’s should take better notice of craftsmanship is still important .
I just want worldwide shipping at non-insane prices, that's the final hurdle. Agreed on basically all fronts. If you want productivity or something to code on, get a Thinkpad or a Mac with whatever distro you prefer or dual boot. The price/performance is nuts.
Also PS+ just got a price increase so console monopolies are getting worse, while Steam just keeps chugging along as the best bang for your buck.
It’s starting to be more and more compelling to me so today I went on the compatible game list, and low and behold half of the games I like are not compatible… again I’m not sold on it
To be honest, I wouldn't say the steam deck is better than Gaming PC, But I say the steam deck is probably better than Gaming laptop in my personal opinion, Because there is some laptop and tablet monitors you can kind of turn your steam deck into gaming laptop or tablet.
Personally, I'm picking tablet monitor so I can save more space whenever the laptop's internal keyboard is useless.
The problem is if one of the bottons got broken can i change it i wanna sell my pc to by one of these .
How long before I can play Starfield on Steam Deck?
Because steam deck is pc in psp style unlike ally x is a windows without care and lenovo go is evil
Excuse me what the actual fu-
If Arkham knight is unplayable on your setup then idk what to say. I have two desktops 2 laptops 2 steam decks and it works just fine. Has been for years. You should probably look into your system.
That game even runs on my old rig....
2600k and GTX970.... Decade old hardware.
Something is off with his laptop.
Because of the fact I can start it on my hand and go to my TV or monitor and vice versa, it has changed what games I buy for consoles or PC. Plus I can bring it over to my girlfriends and hook up my Xbox or PlayStation controllers and play two players It Takes Two, it makes it Super easy and convenient, compared to how I used to bring over my PlayStation or Xbox to do the same thing and carry all that weight around.
So your saying to get a steam deck? 😂😂 there's a new system that's supposed to come out next month I think not sure if I should get that supposed to be more powerful than the steam deck it's really not the power that matters to me it's being able to use it as a portable PC/gamer.. I live out of my car so a big issue would be battery life for me.. I'm just not sure what model to get there's three.. Time to watch at least 50 videos about which one to get
the asus rog?
I'm using a gaming laptop 💻 that has 1080p and my laptop play almost everything
I don't understand what is the problem are you thinking about,
I don't know about all the rtx stuff because my laptop dasn't have rtx,
so in my opinion if you want to play a game the don't support rtx or the rtx performance is not great just closed the rtx settings,
Same if you have 4K monitor and the game doesn't run well with 4K just using lower resolution in the spefic game it's that semple
Ah okay, I just played a ridiculous amount of games, and most of the time (with my 1060 laptop on windows 10) I’ve had comparability and crashing issues. Sometimes not right away, but within the first few hours of a game. While with the Steam deck I expect it to crash but usually when a game is playable or verified it just works.
It’s just been a more positive experience overall for me.
With newer laptops rtx is ubiquitous, but I’m assuming if you go with amd the transition will be easier.
But mostly my problem with windows is all the updates and incompatibility with drivers.
@@ChristopherToro I have closed the window 10 update in my laptop
As for crashing and stuff like that it's happening very rarely to most it by because most of the game I play it's PC games and it's not last generation off it is mostly for 2015 or older that has already optimaze
Ther is some small isuouse in very old games that release 98 but it's usually very minimal problem that is probably why's to fixed those issues with patch or modified those setting's
And one other reason platforms like steam deck it's not the right device for my is the fact that not every game I play is steam games and I don't use my computer only for gaming I use multiple other's software like blender unity ect
Can someone tell me how can I even make an account of steam deck because literally making an account for myself it takes forever and it’s a pain on the ass not sure if anyone has any complaints about that because well I can’t update my steam deck until i dawn get to the dawn menu and can’t passed or skip from making a stupid annoying account of steam deck
It's easy enough same as making an account on any online platform one of things steam done was that you needed an account to order one so not sure if deck actually has this function if not simply use any internet enabled device like phone tablet computer anything that has a browser and just type in steam and once on page click create an account and should be straight forward from there
I mean Ross has a point how did you get the steam deck without account. Also you know you have a mobile right could just make account with steam on that and then sign in with the deck?
If you’re trying to make an account, it’s easier to do it on your phone or any laptop. Because you need an account before buying a Steam deck ideally, which is the only downside.
I’m sure when it’s more common or sold in retail stores (probably overseas) that process will become easier.
@@ChristopherToro can we honest here why is it a problem to sign up with a email and password for steam to order a deck I mean it’s a steam deck obviously if you buy it you need to have a steam account to play games on steam or use it lmao
@@ClawsTheKing47Because Valve has said they don’t want to have a “walled garden” approach and obviously forcing a Steam account does exactly that.
The sweet spot isn’t a destktop pc or a portable steam deck. It’s a ultra book notebook gaming laptop. You get your productivity done along with a great laptop sized desktop gpu for gaming
There are ways to get same or similar experience on gaming pc and laptops
Linux has came a long way thanks to steam and steam os
Things like holo os (basically community tweaked version of steam os) and few gaming os on Linux can use the steam os front end making them function like a steam deck
I’ve heard of Halo OS before, are there complications with cpu and gpu drivers with it? I’m definitely going to try that at some point!
you nly looed at specs
How tf do you have games that don't "work" on a gaming pc? Do you mean they are laggy? Turn down the resolution...
No, it means that many areas aren't optimized or there are a lot of bugs and glitches
No its not.
Yeah this was more a video about shitting on windows than the steamdeck really. Plus the random jab at the switch for no reason.
Really liked the video until the really unnecessary shitting on the switch.
