There are no excuses. I had my GPD Win 3 for over a year before you got your Steam Decks (which isn't even remotely portable).
You have one excuse why you don't have a handheld gaming PC
There are no excuses. I had my GPD Win 3 for over a year before you got your Steam Decks (which isn't even remotely portable).
I have a phone with a Razer kishi it's all I need
I'm not a gamer and I'm surprisingly not autistic enough to do it in public.
>I'm not a gamer
VACATE.
I play big named games from big name companies and that's all I care about. I'm not a gamer, and only play something I find interesting or something to kill time with.
I have a laptop.
Deck fits in my bag. If I am going somewhere without my bag I will not have time to game anyway
i have a phone and a computer. i don't need a little baby pc and if i wanted one i'd have a laptop.
because they can't do elden ring at 60 fps, have bad batteries, shitty cooling, usually bad controller ergonomics
I have a Win Max, but I don't feel the need to flaunt it on Ganker like that gay that posts the Metroid Dread title screen.
I don't fricking play home console games on the go or in public. No, it's not about how people around me would perceive me or other insecure shit, I just don't see any fun in booting up fricking Doom in a packed bus, shoot things for 15 minutes, advance 0.15% through the campaign and go to school/work or whatever. In comparison, doing a Layton puzzle and moving on makes much more sense.
Tabletop games belong on the table, home console games belong in the home, collectible card games belong in the trash and etc.
I don't need one
Spent all my money on le desktop Uber gaming PC 9000 and now I'm broke
I too want a compact x86 handheld.
I'm waiting for the Aya Neo Air Plus.
i3-1215u is pretty great for a $299 price tag.
Good CPU for emulation and it'll play older AAA games.
Might get the Ayn Loki Mini Pro version, not sure yet.
I like the Win 3 but that $1200 is a bit much.
>I'm waiting for the Aya Neo Air Plus.
Hey you answer
steam deck is way too Fricking big
Not the Air Plus i3-1215u but the Aya Neo Air 5580u and 6600u Loki should be able too.
>The problem is that it might be too old.
I am not too worried, i3-1215u is a 2022 mobile CPU that can handle quite a bit. It's not future proof but the games I play tend to be more low end to mid range. There is also a 16gb ram option to.
Still I am waiting for more video's on gaming performance before I decide. Here is vid on early emulation tests.
I am in no hurry to decide what I want.
I should add that the Aya Air 5560u has a lot of video's of gameplay on their YouTube page.
https://www.youtube.com/c/AYANEO/videos
No western reviewers have one yet and you need the Pro model ($650) with the 38wh battery if you want reasonable battery life, the standard comes with a 28wh... here is a spec sheet.
Loki is a better deal but a longer wait.
See
Will the AYANEO AIR and/or Ayn Loki be able to run ER and most ps4 games
a steam what
wow that looks moronic as frick to hold or use
im sorry you have to put up with a piece of junk like that
a steaming turd
That looks like shit
I have a regular gaming PC that plays games better? LMFAO
This thing is a kiddy tablet and flopped for a reason: it's redundant and fricking useless. I just spent the amount of money it would take to buy this trash on a vacation; I wouldn't touch shit dead in the water piece of shit if you paid ME.
I'll buy the one that comes with detachable controllers, that's the first thing that's going to break and the reason I'm not getting a Steam Deck yet
The technology is still fricking garbage and I'm not waiting 7 months to pay fat frick gayben 600 dollars for something I'll inevitably lose interest in or feel fricked over for in a month not that it matters because I want nothing to do with the console kiddie shit social media Facebook platform of PC gayman
>That is because this is a PORTABLE gaming PC. You can literally throw ANYTHING at it and it'll still run. Maybe not at maximum settings for the newest titles, but you would be surprised.
No you literally can't throw anything at it you disingenuous homosexual
>he doesn't know
Actually, yes you can. This can even play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
This is far more powerful than the Switch. Compare ports of games made for Switch compared to this one. This even has 1 TB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. Also, the analog sticks are not an issue at all. If you played the Wii U, this is like that, except that this is easier and more intuitive due to the small size compared to the Wii U gamepad.
that guy in the video really needs to take better care of his fingernails
I have a Switch and offset sticks is better.
They're not even modular to be able to choose which control layout you want. Frick that.
because the loki isn't out yet
See
How much are these, and how well do they perform? I'm not looking to run anything crazy on it, just xiv or something while I'm at work.
starts at $1,470
$1200. I got mine for $900 though since I "preordered" mine on Indiegogo the second it released. I have a Silver model which only 2000 were made. It was no risk involved, since GPD not only always delivered on time from their past products, but also because there was a guarantee that we would get our money back if it didn't made enough money for its goal. It made its goal within less than an hour.
The battery life on this lasts around 2 hours. Also mine was never "warm" all due to the cooling system. I could not even feel the heat at all. This is not like the GPD Win 1 which could get hot in some places.
It's still better to get the top tier handheld, as it means you not only can play older games more smoothly, but newer ones as well.
You honestly have no idea what you are missing. Once you get one, you really don't want to play on the Switch again.
>You honestly have no idea what you are missing.
Overweight, overpriced, 2 hour battery, 720p, non OLED, dock sold separately. I know what I'm missing
>Once you get one, you really don't want to play on the Switch again.
I don't own a switch
The Intel Gen11 Tiger Lake-U i7-1195G7's TDP is 28 watts and the GDP Win 3 has a 45 watt-hour battery (45Wh/28 = 1 hour and 36 minutes). Factor in power from other components and increased SOC power draw due to electrical resistance caused by increased thermals and this thing is likely not getting an hour if its at full load.
handheld games make me nauseous and there's no situation in which i would use something like this where i couldn't just use a laptop instead.
>handheld games make me nauseous
the frick
he probably means in cars
>can't even get above 40 fps
>dips below 30 in combat
>in the tutorial, which is the least stressful part of the game next to dungeon interiors
>homosexual is too afraid to show TDP or system power usage so it probably has 90 minute battery life
>is also probably uncomfortably warm on your fingers
pass
Because at the end of the day I'd rather play any other genre of games on a desktop PC, except possibly VNs.
>You have no idea what you're missing
Overweight, overpriced, shit battery, shit specs. I know exactly what I'm "missing"
How much is that device and does it fit a pocophone?
I actually bought one to emulate old shit but touch controls are the gayest thing imaginable.
Any anons here that recently got their Steam Deck email remember what time you pre-ordered it? I put my deposit in roughly 7 hours in on the day Valve announced it, and im fricking itching to drop all the money I've been putting aside for it.
got my email on 6/30 at 1.5 hrs past opening
so i'd imagine you are 2024? roughly?
also model and region is obviously important
According my e-mails I paid my deposit about 2 hours after they opened preorders, and I got my notification of availability 4 days ago
Mine was about 80 minutes after they went up and got it 2 weeks ago
Put mine in five minutes after registrations opened. Got it on May 20th, on my birthday.
Handheld gaming is trash, period.
Why the frick with I play on a tiny ass screen with poor sound when I can play on a huge screen with amazing sound while sitting on a comfortable couch without needing to strain my neck or arms.
I'm not so desperate that I need to play a game while taking a shit or taking a bus to work.
Why would you play Final Fantasy I on a 4k screen even if it looks like absolute shit?
You won't suffer the same impact on a small screen.
Because it means you can play anywhere, and not just at home.
Also the speakers on this thing is LOUD. Perhaps the loudest device I ever owned.
But unlike the Steam Deck, this is Windows 11. You need to install it separately on the Deck and you're just missing more than a few features if you do.
Yet, you're childish when all you see is your self-image. Women don't like that.
Dont ignore my battery math you fricking chink shill.
im married. dont give a shit about what women think
>this is Windows 11
I don't want Windows. I want GNU/Linux with Free Software drivers.
Don't care, still buying a Deck over your chinkshit Zhang.
>You'll attract loads of babes when you whip this out and they start seeing you play demanding PC games on this thing.
Is this an Asia thing or a zoomer girl thing?
i have a $3000 pc and im not a child so i dont play games in public
my rig is worth 6k and i have been playing nothing but my deck for the last 2 weeks lmao
I'm a NEET and barely ever leave the house. I don't need a portable PC when I spend 90% of my waking life in front of a real one.
I remember when most psp games would have some kind of endless mode or grinding goal. That was comfy.

Isn't think guy a shill for limited run games?
steamies...............................................
I have a gaming PC. What do I need one of these for?
gaming
I do that on my gaming PC, PVM, or TV.
well which is it
Which is what? I have multiple superior options to gaming on the deck, so why would I use the deck?
play games on
My Gaming PC, PVM, and TV are all better options for playing vidya.
then why do you have 3 of them?
Because different devices work best on different screens. You wouldn't want to play NES games on an LCD, and if I don't want to play my games at a desk I can play them on my TV.
I'm pretty sure the deck fills somebodies niche out there. laptop-ish hardware but with good controls
Not mine though. If it wasn't x86 maybe it would be more interesting, but PC cvcks are still stuck with that inefficient piece of shit CPU technology.
thanks for sharing
OP asked, I answered. Deckgays btfo
In my case the Steam Deck would fulfill the x86_64 machine to run games on niche. Unless I can find and set up a good x86/x86_64 emulator.
>You have one excuse why you don't have a handheld gaming PC
All the paid shilling on Ganker made me hate Valve
I live in a third world shithole with no ability to get a steam deck. I would love something like it though, and been reading about those new ryzen 6000 based handhelds. Do have access to china sites to order.
You have one excuse why your prolapsed butthole reaches your knees?
Literally justgot my Steam Deck on Friday- its fantastic!! And yes I played on some of those Chinesium overly expensive shit handhelds and the Deck is way better. Atop all the pragmatic stuff, it also bolsters Linux adoption and ease of use is fantastic
Because I'm a hikimori that never leaves the house except for going to the grocery store. When the frick would I need a portable gaming anything?
how do i make dolphin not run like shit
>battery like 2 hours
Not portable.
>"""""GAMING""""" device
>Intel integrated shit graphics
This thing is flopping harder than the wiiu and vita guys.
I've been enjoying my UMPC
same
So how does one even go about fixing it?
not my problem
Did you sit on it?
Just replace digitizer and screen if needed
I have a Thinkpad from 2011 and a PS Vita. Anything that can’t run on them is bloat
Yeah, frick those realistic, sexy, majestic modern games
Most of Ganker don't even leave their basement, why would they need a handheld pc?
Okay, since no one in these threads actually own a deck I'll debunk a lot of the shit people claim. Yuzu sucks on the deck, horrible performance in a lot of games, but that'd due to development. The deck is buggy, the menu will hang for minutes at a time. Lot's of quality control issues, loads of people have to RMA their decks, including myself. Configuration is needed for majority of games. I'm used to linux, I've had arch for years so it's not a big deal to me but I could imagine being extremely off putting for most. Just like the steam controller, only enthusiasts will continue to support this system and it will never take off like people want/hope. Other than that, when it works, it's fricking amazing and I can't wait to see how it evolves over the years just like the steam controller. Valve has always been good about evolving and supporting their software.
Steam Deck isn't available in Australia yet. I might even wait for something based on RDNA3.
It'd be nice if Valve did a deck refresh every new GPU cycle and maybe a redesign every other. Like Intel's old tick tock cycle.
I have convertible laptop with thunderbolt graphics card. When on the go I play light or late 2000 games like Total War Medieval 2 or Warband, when at home or hotel, it's Warhammer and Bannerlord
Is it that one you've got? I do a bit of gamedev as a hobby, was looking for something I could take around with me and do bits on here and there. That looks handy. Is it good?
Really good for what it is. My setup: Lenovo Yoga 7i 14tl5, with Razer Core X thunderbolt enclosure and my old GTX 1070 inside. If you encounter throttling on the CPU, use the tablet in tent mode and turn down the AC.
Not a fan with these bulky """handheld""" devices. Not even the Switch.
This is twice as thick as the Switch, but it's also half the length.
Just paid for mine a few days ago. About how long does it take to get the Steam Deck after paying for it? I'm going to be out of town next week and I'm going to be pretty upset if I miss out on playing it ASAP due to random homosexualry
4-7 days, I got mine in 4 days with fedex.
if you paid for it on thursday you should have had shipping info by now
i happen to be nearby the shipping facility so its estimated for 2 days for me but my friend on the east coast wont get his until thursday
I'm in my late 20s. I can't think of any better way to secure my virginity and ruin my public image then to bring a Gameboy around like I'm 7 again
Looks like they just found the perfect customer.
