Why haven't you got one? If you do, what are you Deckin?
try to be a little more subtle, shillrat
> with no restrictions that you wouldn't face on PC
Except for unsupported games and toaster-tier performance.
Nah I'm not op (check ip count) and every "unsupported" game I've tried just werks. The performance is an issue though you're right. OP forgot to mention that the competitors are at least able to hit 60fps in way more games. Deck struggles to hit 40fps even in 8th gen games like Cyberpunk and its getting harder and harder to bring the tdp down below 12 without the fps dropping hard during more intensive situations. I'll chill with it for now but if they don't make a Z3 Extreme Deck 2 in 2025 I might just change teams. Especially with a potential DLSS 3.5 Switch 2 or a Rog Ally/Legion Go 2 with OLED.

Starfeild - no
Nexon DRM - no
MMO - no
Genshin Impact (legitimately) - no
Why do you people lie and think you can get away with it. Steam Deck is nothing more than junkware you brought. A raspberry pi can do a whole ton more than Steam Deck.
Starfield runs like shit even with a 4090. You can still play it at toaster settings, but I don't know why you'd want to play it in the first place. It runs mmos fine. I know you can play XIV and WoW classic on it. Don't know nor care about gacha garbage.
>Starfeild - no
It's playable enough considering the Steam Deck hardware and the Bethesda programming.
>Nexon DRM - no
I have no idea of anything published by Nexon, so I'll give you that.
>MMO - no
Depends on the MMO. WoW and the FF mmo runs on it.
>Genshin Impact (legitimately) - no
Remove the "legitimaly" and it works. They won't ban your account, so no excuse here.
>A raspberry pi can do a whole ton more than Steam Deck.
Ok, so you're a troll. Here's a (you)
I will never understand why this site shills valve so much
>"But valve is muh lesser evil"
It's not you actual homosexual, every single thing they do since 2006 has been shit
every penny counts
Because I have no reason to not just play on PC.
What does "playing on the go" mean, you mean you carry this big ass chunk of plastic to the fricking bus?
The "big ass chunk of plastic" feels like nothing in a bag.
> I'm about to end this devices whole career
Must be 18 or over to post.
Come back when you know what VRM mosfet even means.
Come back when you don't use shitty tiktok memes for 9 year olds.
You don't know shit about vrm components. get out of here moron.
Nobody is talking about components except for you jeet zoomie. Go back to your reddit text to speech videos with gameplay splitscreens.
Blah blah blah blah who cares about that shit.
You have zero counter argument, dumb moron who don't know shit about vrm.
You got owned.
>reddit spacing
>zero self awareness (nobody gives a frick about your meaningless post lol)
Sad. What adhd does to a mfer.
And I'm going to start carrying a bag so I can look like an autist playing Skyrim in the bus?
I just don't understand the point of these keyboard sized portables.
I use mine on the plane. No one else on a bus/plane/train gives a frick what you're doing if you're minding your own business you fricking autist.

The VRM mosfets will fail over time haha
Too big, battery too small
Neither of these are for justifiable reasons
Next model needs to be at least as small as the Switch and minimum of 40 hours of battery while playing a taxing game
>minimum of 40 hours of battery while playing a taxing game
Uhh... Black person?
>7 year old fisher price tablet with 12 year old hardware has better battery than PC flagship handheld
It actually doesn't according to that picture lol. But even then those fisher price tablets have ARM processors and still barely shart out 5 hours even with oled and a die shrink, and that's with a game with hilariously low settings and a 30 fps cap. Steam Deck plays games on medium/high and manages at least 2. I get 3-4 on some 60fps games like Yakuza 0 and Arkham City.
Yeah no, you get 2 hours like everyone else online complaining about their battery
Cope Black person, don't make me pull mine out. Also just look at the post above yours lol. You're a moron who thinks we could get 40hours on a miniature gaming laptop though so there's no helping you.
Dumb as rocks.
>don't make me pull mine out
And do what? Emulate a WiiU port for 2 hours while switch plays the same game for 4?
lol?
this is what TW3 looks like between the two devices btw
>proving my point
>4h vs 2.5h in a multiplat
let me guess, you stopped reading at the first paragraph?
>but battery life that can run dry in 83 minutes
No I read it to the end
It can die faster because you can choose to push it harder. The point is that you can maintain a reasonable power usage and get 3+ hours in most games while the switch gets less battery life and below minimum graphics settings just to try to run the same multiplats. The deck is still great at low TDP even against chinkhelds with newer AMD APUs.
>minimum of 40 hours of battery while playing a taxing game
what you're asking for is literally not possible unless battery tech evolves by leaps and bounds
im upset re4r doesn't run that well on it, otherwise i love mine. use it all the time as i travel on planes for work
>shits on an unmodded switch
It shits all over a modded switch too. A modded switch is literally just a shittier deck, the only "benefit" a regular switch has is online and that's taken away if you mod it.
I put my penis on it and got banned SEVEN times!
I'm being legit, I'm the one with the unisraelited wiener.
>it plays switch games btw
IDK, seems most ROM/ISO sites don't stock Switch games, probably for fear of Nintendo nuking them.
We just had our quarterly deck thread some days ago, give it a rest.
Waiting for the switch 2
How’s is 40 hours on the deck unreasonable?
Because even the competition with big 68W/h batteries can't even come close to that. What you're asking, no one can do.
You would need 200w/h just to power a Steam Deck for 40 hours and that's before putting literally any load whatsoever on it. I'm talking just idling it with the screen on. That would require a battery with 5 times more capacity than what it has while taking up the same space.
To run a game with reasonable power usage would take around 13W, would require 520w/h, which is 13x the battery capacity it currently has.
To run a very intensive game for 40 hours would require ~1000w/h which is 25x its current battery capacity.
Do you now understand why it isn't possible with current battery technology?
As the other anons said, that's not happening unless you want a battery bigger than the Deck itself
>tfw we're probably never going to have a battery breakthrough in our lifetime
Damn you physical limits of our reality
Because unfortunately Valve doesn't have access to alien tech.
I want a Steam Deck Mini. I also want PC handhelds to stop having shit battery life.
