512GB Deck is the most moronic SKU in the lineup. At that price point, just buy a laptop.
But a laptop is far worse than a Steam Deck at that price.
Even at brand-new-price, $600 laptops BTFO of the Deck in every category imaginable. When was the last time you look at laptop pricing?
you'd have no issue backing up that claim then would you?
inb4 it's a shitty vega gpu while he screeches cpu numba be biiig
Yeah not even close. Equivalent (new) laptop to Steam Deck's specs would be $800 at least. Maybe if you buy used, and even then it would probably be just about equal.
Name one and lets compare specs.

Steam Deck BTFOs that laptop in several categories.
Unlike the lies Valve told you, a laptop can be upgraded.
How do you upgrade a laptop to be lighter, smaller, and have controller inputs built into it's shell?
You can't upgrade shit besides a SODIMM and the storage. The CPU and GPU are BGA packages soldered onto the board.
thats weak talk for "i am scared of real computers".
>laptop full of soldered components is a real computer
>UMPC full of soldered components is not
Shitpost harder you stupid minority
Steam Deck is not a UMPC, it is a device, a junk adbondedware that Valve give up and making a new one in less in a year. You are believing in a company that requires you to sign-up in a contract instead of just buying the device like a normal computer.
>this UMPC isn't a UMPC!
Bro, its a UMPC. Why are you so gay?
Dont know what part of 'microsoft bot' you didn't understand.
Watch its language. 'Real pc' over and over like an ad. Repetition. Notice it doesn't actually respond to anything you say it just repeats the advertisment...'real PC'
You're probably right.
Heres what ya gotta realize about Ganker especially places like Ganker Ganker and yes /misc/...theyre all loaded with bots that have the same predictable shitpost styles.
Things like the Steam Deck to you and me are simple consumer devices, perhaps even just game consoles. To others its a major threat. For Microsoft its an actual popular linux PC. Better send in the bots. For companies like intel and Nvidia its a hardware competitor (and Nvidia has a documented history of this shit far exceeding the others) better activate the bots.
Nintendo just has screeching fanboys who see 'portable' and immediately go on defense as if a UMPC has anything to do with the switch. Theyre just dumb as frick.
Add to that the bored summer teenagers who think arguing shit on 4chins is 'le epic troll' and this is why we cant have nice things.
Dude this is a UMPC: https://www.umpcportal.com/products/GPD/Pocket%202
Steam deck does not have keyboard, sucks at battery life, fake linux OS, not possible to upgrade it, you can't fix motherboard or other replaceable things like normal computer, etc.
Steam Deck is not UMPC, it is a junk device like always has been. There is nothing that a smart person with a raspberry pi can't recreate in less than $100.
You are a joke to want to buy a useless machine that will become obsolete.

We have been over this, you can just install something else you moron

You can't play all PC shit on a Pi. Some of it through box86/box64, sure.
No one has try this, the only thing i seen are windows which itself causes problems. Never seen anyone else try to get another linux OS.
You can't play PS2 in your Steam Deck while raspberry pi can, get rekt.
>requires a steam account

yes it's fake, no linux user will ever accept their account to be control or have bloatware. It's anti-linux.
>No one has try this
Buddy, I just told you that I installed Gentoo. Can you not read English?
You weren't there in the threads where I was posting pictures, patches and info about how to go about it, were you?
Its a bot
That's cool. How did you manage to keep the steam UI?
You can activate the new UI on any Steam install with some console arguments.
I reused valve's arch scripts and modified the necessary bits to run a gamescope session. The way it starts up is rather different though; I have it auto login to a tty and start a session from bashrc. Changing sessions is done by replacing a second script sourced from bashrc.
Past that, it's mostly a matter of adding the right overlays for gamescope, mangohud etc. I had to do some severe tampering to make mangohud compile correctly though; the existing ebuild excludes mangoapp and co.
One day for all the base system packages and a desktop session. Another day to figure out what bits of valve's stuff from arch I needed to tamper with and put in place to make the deck UI work. Past that, maybe five or so to install all the emulators like rpcs3 and co, and port valve's changes from the 5.17 test kernel forward to 5.18. I accelerated the whole compilation process somewhat with distcc.
>a week to set up Gentoo on a Steam Deck
absolute madman
So how long did that take to compile?
You also forgot

Seethe harder Valve shill, nobody is buying your outdated bloatware machine that can't even run dos games
i'm not the one that can't into electricity and li-ion battery output
>can't even run dos games
DOSbox which is the standard way of running DOS games on modern Microsoft OSes started in part as a way to play DOS games on GNU/Linux.
The Deck actually has a cool feature for DOS games in the Compatibility Tools. You can install Boxtron and have an up to date and more feature rich version of DOSbox that you can use to run any DOS game sold through Steam or added as a third-party app.

>requires a steam account

>requires internet
Works fine without it.
>installs bloatware like Steam and Proton
Except that 'bloatware' is the whole point of the device, its for gaming.
>updates delete data
Only on the root drive, if you know UNIX you shouldn't be doing anything on that drive anyway.
SteamOS is far from the first UNIX-like OS using an immutable file system for the root partition.
>fake linux OS
Lmao what the frick is "Fake Linux"?
The bot continues...

The bot literally followed the fricking script i said it would here.
Told you frickers this place was infested with ad bots
>Steam deck does not have keyboard
UMPCs don't need keyboards to be UMPCs. Most don't have them.
>sucks at battery life
The battery is only slightly smaller than average at 40w/h vs most having something like 48w/h, but is made up for by the fact that RDNA2 is way more power efficient and performant than all of this chinkshit using vega.
>fake linux OS
Is this a joke? It uses a fork of arch, but you can install any linux distro or windows on it if you really want to, because it's a UMPC.
>not possible to upgrade it
>you can't fix motherboard or other replaceable things like normal computer
You can upgrade the storage and all of the inputs are contained to their own daughter boards so it's easy to replace parts that break, i.e if you suddenly get stick drift. Aside from that, like most of these devices, you can't really change much because when you start getting this small, the boards become custom, with parts soldered on, losing the ability to have modular design. The only thing that sucks about the steam deck in this regard is the battery being glued in.
No otherwise we can just say Nintendo Switch are UMPC, no, we are not going to that route again. A device is what it is, not a UMPC. Just like Nintendo Switch is a device.
Battery is no better than a phone, stop being a loyalist, you cant claim something is better when we proven it sucks. Oh and it still does not have a dock unlike Nintendo switch that comes with it at no extra charge.
A real linux will not force you to use the internet or force you to have a account, stupid.
You know what else you can do as well, a $500 laptop and it becomes much easier to replace battery. Again, you just sound like someone scare of a real PC.
Laptops are portable, companies spent millions to get computers being portable, hundreds spent $5000 for a laptop in the 90s. You mindless child have no idea what you are saying.
No you did not prove you have another OS, that's not how deleting an entire OS works and if you still do still use SteamOS that doesn't prove anything, you just format it to have 2 OS, you didn't prove anything.
I'm not using SteamOS you dumb fricking Black person. I put Gentoo on a USB, wiped the whole thing and did a standard stage3 install. The deck UI is a part of Steam, not the OS. It's basically just big picture mode 2.0.
You should post a neofetch, not because I don't believe you, but just because it would be cool to see.
that's not a neofetch you dumb Black person
It shows you all the information necessary
I wanted to see a neofetch with a gentoo logo, package count, WM, etc. You replied to me with something completely irrelevant to what I asked for.
I already posted one when I was still running valve's kernel, but why not. Though I use fastfetch because neofetch is slow as molasses. Which brings me to my next point...
>b-but my proof
Even if I post a neofetch it won't be enough for you, so eat shit homosexual. Have a full reboot on video.
No one can read anything, all we know is that you just restarted the system.
Exactly, see? You don't even know how different an OpenRC boot process looks compared to a systemd-based init. Incompetent chink shill.
Maybe if you didn't change so many things like the UI we wouldn't have to guess what it is.
Those "changes" are Gentoo.
You appear to have completely missed the whole point of Gentoo, anon. Congrats.
It's pretty obvious what it is at a glance. You're just a moronic homosexual.
>Incompetent chink shill.
Are you sure he isn't Indian?
this
reads more like chinglish than poo
Again not proving anything, you just reinstall the bloadware that you just removed, you didn't answer the question.
You know what Valve doesn't want you to do, use Windows on steam deck. So don't tell people they cant run linux on Nintendo switch if you wont back up the idea of people running OS in Nintendo switch. Your steam deck is not special, it is a junk device not UMPC. so many things can become linux OS.
Steam deck will become obsolete when Steam deck 2 arrives. This is the same customer mind set like Apple customers. You only think the Iphone is going to last 10 years but in reality the company will not update it after 3 years.
If the deck can offer something a laptop can't it's not the same, because apple products all have direct competitors. The only apt comparisons are the other windows gameboy style things that have all failed to take off.
A laptop is better because it's a real computer, build by a real company, not some cheap plastic china off market copycat of a Nintendo switch that cant be sold in stores or outside america because Valve is bad at making these things.
Those "drivers" dont work, people have given up. Valve developers aren't real developers, they can't even solve a simple bot problem that other companies have fixed.
UMPC has simple concept of having your PC anywhere. It is not a machine that requires protection all the time nor is it a machine that isn't replaceable.
Windows XP has higher numbers than the Steam Deck even after companies stop producing them. WIndows XP outlived many hardware and modern day software. Get rekt by a 20 year old machine.
>UMPC has simple concept of having your PC anywhere
So, a steam deck?
>It is not a machine that requires protection
What does this even mean?
>nor is it a machine that isn't replaceable.
Most laptops have many components that are not replaceable. They don't cease to be PCs because of that.
The defining factor of a modern PC is an open system with open bios, usually running x86 architecture. The deck is all of those things. It's a PC, just like those chinky UMPCs with worse hardware are also PCs.
>Those "drivers" dont work
lol?
>Valve doesn't want you to do, use Windows on steam deck
Valve doesn't give a shit. They just released another windows drivers update again after they already released some before. They are actively working on improving windows drivers despite having no obligation to do so. If Valve didn't want you to use windows, not only would they deprive you of drivers, but they would also lock down the bios so that you can't change the OS.
>not a UMPC
You have yet to explain how.
>Steam deck will become obsolete when Steam deck 2 arrives
All hardware becomes obsolete, moron. Nothing on the planet is immune to that.
>Oh and it still does not have a dock
It works with any USB-C hub
>No otherwise we can just say Nintendo Switch are UMPC
Switch isn't a UMPC because it doesn't use AMD64 hardware, and doesn't run an open platform OS. Sure you can hack it to run more normal Linux distributions for ARM, but that isn't the developers intent.
SteamOS is a GNU/Linux distribution, and no matter how much you want to try to separate it off its a 'real' Linux that just boots to a 10 foot interface. The Desktop is just a couple button presses away.
This is just the same astroturfing shit that happens every time a Linux device gets popular and Windows starts dipping in the 'desktop' stats, there's fake outcry that somehow it doesn't count, and the device gets segregated out.
This often happens even when its a laptop, with a keyboard, running an OS that can handle desktop apps.
Its how Windows is still 75% of 'desktops' when its less than 30% of computers, but Windows kids will still claim its over 95% like it was before they were born.
I'm confused. In what way isn't this a UMPC? It uses PC hardware (better hardware than its chink competitors), it's an open platform and has open bios so you can freely do whatever you want with it. If you don't like SteamOS, you can install something else without having to break DRM and jailbreak it like you would with a closed source, walled garden i.e the switch.
>Battery is no better than a phone
Have you even looked at the specs, moron? The battery is slightly smaller than other UMPCs. The battery life is still longer in spite of that because of RDNA2's low power utilization. It out performs an aya neo in battery life with a 40w/h battery even though the aya neo has a 47w/h battery. How? Because RDNA2 stomps on vega's nutz, homosexual.
>You know what else you can do as well, a $500 lapto
For all this crying about what is an isn't a UMPC, laptop definitely isn't a UMPC, so it's completely irrelevant to the discussion.
A fridge also uses PC hardware, a console does too, a car, etc. This is not a special case, it is common thing in the world.
It's not open sourced, there is no github or link anywhere. It is still unknown what is inside the Steam Deck code. You the customers lied about being open sourced not Valve.
Sounds like you are a loyalist to me, that is the same claim Apple users say to their product and guess what, it runs like a normal battery. It's a normal battery you dumb fk.
Not a UMPC otherwise we can call a tablet a UMPC.
>It's not open sourced
Windows isn't open source. I guess the PC I'm typing on right now isn't actually a PC.
>that is the same claim Apple users say to their product and guess what, it runs like a normal battery. It's a normal battery you dumb fk.
I've read over this sentence 6 times now and I still can't understand what the frick you're even trying to say, let alone any semblance of an argument relevant to what I had said.
Don't forget Apple isn't either, linux is the only one.
Steam deck sucks being outside, what you going to do, hold it all day? Bluetooth will drain your battery which goes back to problems with battery.
All while normal computers and UMPC have fixed this problem, heck you can even bring a cheap dollar store power protector and the UMPC will be full in a hour, no wasted space either as a bonus.
Again if you accept steam deck as UMPC you also accept tablets as such because tablets do the exact same thing. So for the last time, steam is not UMPC, it is a junk device.
Normal computers and PC can replace everything, motherboard bad? replace, your 1TD storage bad? replace. We have the power to save our stuff in many places like USB and cloud. What you suggesting is crazy.
Steam deck is not replaceable, dead motherboard is an entire replacement of the steam deck or you hope for dear life someone will give you one. Steam deck Chips are custom made, you can not buy them, you can not upgrade them, You are forever stuck in the stone age if something better like AR becomes real.
Except a Steam Deck is portable unlike a laptop you dumbass.
Enjoy playing retro/switch games with a mouse and keyboard you mongoloid.
Why would you spend extra money upgrading the laptop when the steam deck is better out of the box?
Specs are about equal to a Steam Deck except ram is a generation behind, similar price (at 32% off). Where is the "BTFO of the Deck in every category imaginable" part?
>1650
>Similar to the steam deck
lmao
yeah a 1650 is literally similar to a steam deck. A 1650 is barely better than a 1050 TI and worse than a 1060, and we are talking about a mobile laptop 1650 that is going to get thermally throttled like crazy. Wouldn't be surprised if Steam Deck outperformed it thoroughly honestly.
now show me the steam deck running that game at 1080p, ultra quality and 60fps
High settings and 50-60fps, it's about 1050ti performance
>800p High
1080p Ultra?
End of the video for desktop mode
High 50-60fps
Description still says 800p, and the setting menu doesn't show resolution.
The mobile 1650 and desktop 1650 are not the same GPU, moron
>1650 is equal to the Deck
>Zen3 CPU, 6 cores 12 threads is equal to Zen2 4 cores 8 threads
>GDDR6 is equal to LPDDR5
not bad, but nvidia is shit for linux
give it a year or two now that of their drivers are open source and that will eventually change
Unfortunately that's only for the newer cards unless Nvidia releases more documentation for the older cards.
That did happen for AMD, the R300 and R600 drivers did eventually get better, but gaming on GNU/Linux became really dependent on Vulkan which rendered those old cards basically obsolete.
So even if Nvidia release better docs for their older 1XXX parts and below, the lack of the tensor cores that Nvidia uses to get full Vulkan compatibility is going to leave those cards at a permanent disadvantage.
>NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4GB
So step up in that its a discrete chip with its own thermal management.
Step down in that its limited by 4GB of memory, and the fact that the 1650 is still not fully Vulkan-capable and won't work with the new Open Source Nvidia drivers.
So its $200 more, the GPU is questionably comparable, and it has 12GB total 8+4 compared to the Deck's 16GB unified memory.
Plus it comes with Windows 11 Home, and with that Nvidia card it may not work very well once you upgrade it to a real OS.
I mean in my c**t some laptops are being sold with rtx 3060 for around 800$ so you aren't wrong about that but if they wanted power they would have go for a pc rig and not some shitty handheld
I have a 14 inch compact lightweight laptop with an rtx 3050 ti, costed me 700, pretty satisfied with it
What laptop?
How so? I just picked up a laptop for 450 that has 6-core i5 and a RTX 3060, I don't imagine it's that much worse than the steam deck
Used or new? If new, they probably skimped so hard on other components to cram a 3060 in there you'll be lucky it lasts 6 months without melting down or throttles so hard it won't be able to run Runescape.
>RTX 3060 laptop for 450
Yeah, Bullshit, unless you got insanely lucky with a nice used model. New laptops with a shit tier 3050 don’t even go that low and that’s with skimping on the other parts.
get out of here already
Id rather do this.
Also if i bought a laptop most of them come with a windows license outside of a few niche examples and ill do anything to avoid giving Microsoft a single red cent
I take it that it's a capacitive touch screen on the deck?
FPBP. I cancelled my 256gb order because of this. My 64gb order comes a couple months later but I don't really care honestly. The performance is kinda underwhelming and the fact that you can use the iFixIt parts to literally build the 512 model for $100 less (with the worse color screen) is hilarious. Hell you could buy the anti-glare screen replacement for a 256gb model and still spend less. Paypigs are fricking moronic and I hope Valve has the sense to make cheap models for the next Deck because the $400 model is the only one that makes sense going into 2023.
Nice try Zhang
I literally did cancel it though. You literally save $100 by getting an aftermarket ssd.
I cancelled mine too, and everyone who doesn't cancel theirs is moronic. Imagine spending as much money as a top tier gaming PC on a handheld that can barely emulate PS1
>as much money as a top tier gaming PC
you can hardly even get a decent GPU for the price of a steam deck you stupid homosexual
Nah bro if you can't get a 3090 for less than 200$ it's your problem.
bro it can barely emulate genesis and can't play among us cancel now
>with the worse color screen
All screens are identical, the 512GB version has etched glass on top, that just causes colors to look different.
>that just causes colors to look different.
Not that much. Indoor, they look same, but outdoor, etched glass does wonder.
t. gay with 512GB and 256GB (for wife).
QRD on building your own deck? Is it possible to build a cheap deck with no storage and provide your own?
All I meant was replacing parts on the base model, not building from scratch.
This, can't take OP seriously if he thinks $600 is a good investment for a 1st gen handheld
buy the 64gb model and upgrade your ssd
>eMMC SSD
You're setting yourself up for disappointment
256gb is the only model to get, NVMe SSD and none of the useless add-ons from the 512gb

I've got a Switch I hacked complete with the joycons, dock, and original box that I don't really use. Is that with extra?
Don't get this logic, you really didn't save anything if you paid an extra 244 dollars for it. Might as well pad the list with stuff like BotW, FE, Kirby, Pokeyman etc to make your argument about saving money with the Deck or argue about performance or whatever. Anyways, this is all the effort I'll put into this bait thread.

The savings keep piling up though.
You get to play dedicated PC games on weak hardware and bad ports of console games on a tiny screen. Until it break or melts in 2 years.
Meanwhile the rest of us can play console games as they were intended on an 4k TV and get a real PC with an Ultrawide monitor.

there's probably a term for this thinking made up long ago, for lack of a better term I'll call it a duality
A digital only hand held with no physical games is really soulless. What happened to Ganker when they valued physical games?
They grew up and stopped having sentimental value towards plastic license keys (all physical games have been for 2 gens now.) You can put your games on a usb if you care about it so much, the only games you'll "own" are the ones you drm crack/pirate in 50 years anyway.
A plastic license key that you can easily re sell, trade, and share. There are huge benefits.
>and share
Go ahead, make a copy of your disc
Are you being moronic on purpose?
What? I can make copies to share of my digital games very easily.
You've been able to share games on Steam since 2013 grandpa. As for selling, nobody gives a shit unless you're a retro scammer or you're willing to wait 10+ years to sell. Modern games sell like shit used, only PS3 games and earlier make any real profit and you can still buy them for cheap if you know where to look.
>Do I need to be online to play a shared game?
>Yes. You must be online to access and play games which are shared with you.
lol, nice online DRM.
Oh noooo!! And you'll lose your "offline" games that you "own" when your console's CMOS battery dies. The Soviets aren't attacking us, we still have internet for the foreseeable future grandpa. I'm not worried about my friends living in a cave and needing to share my pc games with them offline. What's the problem?
You can already do that with keys. The reseller Market on PC is huge.

As for PCshit almost everything that isn't memetraced runs extremely well.
Tried Mario cart 8 and Pokemon Arceus on the switch with Yuzu, god awful lag and crashes. I'll give it time but may just get the switch version
No ty i have a pc
Is the 512 really a waste of money? What kind of ssds do you upgrade a deck with? I actually have a spare ssd I'm not really using in my desktop.
M.2 2230, even the scalped OEM ones cost less than Valve's markup
Wow that's actually exactly what I have a spare of. Lucky me! Since no ones taking about it, I assume the special glass is a big nothing? Also, is it possible to downgrade my pre-order cus I already reserved a 512 months ago :/
>already have a PC
>save $599 + tip
another steam deck thread, another GPT bot trying to sell everyone on a gpd win instead
Can anyone recommend docks or will the official dock be better than the third party alternatives?
Dock as in USB C hub or dock as in stand to rest it on?
sorry meant to say hub. valve are gonna release a dock but I don't see the point in having something to prop the deck up. any hub reccs or tips got picking the right one would be appreciated
Most any powered USB-C dock should be good. Official dock will be tailored towards the Dick but might not necessarily be better.

do any of you Black folk have any self awareness
>Can get a full desktop with 5900X + 3080 and a 4k monitor for 600$
>instead waste it on a shitty handheld
Valve shills are really desperate
damn homie point me where you're finding that and I will literally buy it right now
Create a youtube channel that "reviews" tech, spend 600$ on a bot farm that will boost you to a half of millon subscribers - congrats now you have all the tech ever for free sent to you directly
I got two 3090 TI Founders Editions running in SLI for $100 and these fricking moronic pcbros spent over quadruple that on some shitty AMD APU. What a bunch of morons.
lmao, I just bought a whole warehouse filled with a mining rig of those things for tree fiddy and these moronic steamies buy some shitty plastic toy for over 100 times that.
lmao I just got PAID to use a work laptop that I didn't have to pay for to put numbers in a spreadhseet
shit's cash
>steam deck
>can't run steam
Still not buying a sneed deck, shill
How does yuzu/ryujinx run on a steam deck compared to PC?
It works okay for non-intensive games but yuzu has some serious issues with radv and mesa at the moment even on EA or mainline.
Don't go in thinking you'll run anything at 1080p/docked (performance drain with absolutely no return on Decker's 800p screen) and you'll run a good number of things fine.
You'll only be able to emulate indie games that run 100x better natively on the pc portion.
My deck is arriving tomorrow!
Neat tech, but literally no use-case for me.
I don't go no where that I'd also be able to have time to play a game for any reasonable amount of time, carry around a steam deck, and also not need more than 2-3 hours of use before being at a charger.
Can I sell my reservation?
just buy it and sell it bro
>spent $200 on V1 Switch
>hacked it
>spent $0 the rest of the time
Simple as.
As long as you admit to Black person tier ethos then it’s all good
>buy broken switch for £50
>buy hackable switch from some sucker that doesn't know what they have with a broken screen
>swap parts until full working switch
>return the moron their £100 paperweight and get refund
>buy broken switch and a few other broken consoles from someone locally because I like to repair consoles send wasn't to try fixing a switch
>$150
>get home
>screen shattered but still turns on
>peel screen protector off
>now have fully working switch
I wanted to do a repair but I guess I can't complain
Also got a n2dsxl with a katsukitty capture card for $150 like a month before that from Facebook marketplace. Sold it for like $2,300
if i reserve now what are the odds of me getting it this year?
It doesn't run Link's Awakening that well. For that one I'm just continuing my save on Ryujinx on PC at 4K60.
And did you play/enjoy the game? Because that’s what’s supposed to matter you monumental homosexual
>real computer
>order Deck excited to play PC games wherever is comfy
>finally comes in after a year of waiting
>big, bulky, shit button placement, terrible battery life
>sell for a small profit
Games ran ok enough but the trade off just wasn't there since holding the cumbersome thing negated playing comfortably on the couch or a recliner. Cool option for poorgays without even a budget gaymin' PC, I guess.
>Saved all the shitty ports that run like shit on but quite well on Deck
>Total spent: 0
nice math moron
The real question is: can it run emulators smoothly or is just as shit as it is in midle tier pcs?
It runs pretty much everything fine until you start trying to emulate PS3 and Switch.
>it is in midle tier pcs?
mid tier PCs can run BOTW at 4k 60fps. It can't do that.
I'm not paying these homosexuals money for this emulator. Where is the link anons?
Would would you buy this if you have a desktop PC?
Because a regular desktop is not a handheld. And it means you don't actually need to buy games twice. You should have arrived to the same conclusion if you weren't moronic.
Oy vey, those savings would make judas blush.
Still sneething about losing persnoya?
