My ROG Ally X unironically replaced my desktop PC. I'm posting from pic related right now.

>Able to play any game at 4K 60FPS

There is none. It's just a poorfag alternative to a gaming PC, that's the only appeal. No one is shameless enough to pull out this fucking cinderblock in public, no matter how autistic you are. You can also put your 'ick on it.

eGPU
The ROG Ally X has a Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 port. This allows for you to plug in an external GPU and off load everything that way.

I have an RTX 4080 that I ripped out of my Desktop. You lose about 15% of over-all performance due to the bandwidth limitations of Thunderbolt 4 compared to a full 16xPCIe connection, but I haven't found that it matters unless you're trying to push higher than 60FPS at 4K.

PC gaming at work.
I completed so many games on my night shifts with this thing.
Dead Rising OG was an absolute blast on the Deck, getting all of the perks of emulation on the go is pretty kino too.
It's an AIO, so obviously having this beats bringing something like a portable monitor, mini pc, or gamepad along with you.
If you just NEET it out at home though, there's no real point.

I don't have a PC. I live in a pod in california. i prop it up and I use it to write my fanfics using libreoffice on desktop mode with my bluetooth keyboard (no numpad version). I'm also playing paperball and soul hackers 2. so now when I move I don't have a clunky desk, console, or tv to move. I have my deck.
>>
>>695426586
>You lose about 15% of over-all performance due to the bandwidth limitations of Thunderbolt 4
If the next series of handhelds have Thunderbolt 5 support, Desktop PCs will actually have some competition.
They'll still have a use-case for people that aren't confident enough to setup an eGPU themselves, but then you get into shit like pic related which is basically just a plug-and-play GPU.

Every single gaming handheld is on sale right now for black friday except for the Steam Deck. Is it really that much better than the others or does it sell based off of brand name?
>>
>>695426132
I know.

Those are just too damned big.

I have a GPD Win 4 instead, which is much more powerful and is much smaller.

It's probably that more that Valve puts it on sale during major sales, than it being a "Brand Value" move.

Linux is cancer for gaming. Always go with Windows for full compatiblity.

Also, most of them (not the one mentioned above) are not pocketable.

Brand name, but there are some trade-offs.

>>695433339
you already had a pc in which you took a high end gpu from. what is the benefit compared to just using that pc that I'm assuming has a much better cpu? this just seems like a ridiculous solution for somebody with a pc already. maybe if you didn't have a pc and someone gave you a gpu then I could see it
>>
>>695431016
It's also 3 times the price. A lot of people on this board misunderstand why the Deck is so successful. You don't buy it to play 2024 6k Ultra HD games and valve nor anyone who owns a deck ever markets it as a replacement for an actual PC. I do want a gpd win just because I like umpcs in general, though.
>>
>>695433486
It's like having a laptop, but even more portable and you get to use a full-power desktop GPU when you're home. You also don't have to worry if a game supports some form of cloud save solution.

As long as you're not trying to push something like 120FPS at 4K, any handheld PC with a Thunderbolt 4 or Oculink port is genuinely a better idea than buying or upgrading a desktop right now due to the convenience. Picture being able to take your desktop with you everywhere as long as you don't want to play shit like Cyberpunk or Hogwarts Legacy when you're away from the dock. That's what this is.

what's wrong with 3ds controls for 3ds games? I had a ds when it was new but it's been so long since I played it and I've never tried emulating ds/3ds games
how does emulating ds games work on a handheld device for games that need the touchscreen like EO?
>>
>>695426132
Keep women away when outside.
>>
>>695434871
Well, the 3DS. Circle pad is miserable, d-pad placement is bad, for MH you need the nub on the n3DS for camera control, and ergonomics are all around mediocre. A grip goes a long way, helps with weight distribution because the thing is top heavy and gives you a better... grip, but still isn't enough for my tastes. Haven't tried touchscreen reliant games.

Pretty nice desu, but I'll be honest. It fills the same niche that other handhelds and emuhelds did.
>>
>>695426132
Probably for people who like to play outside or for those who don't know about moonlight\sunshine streaming

>>695455484
I own a gaming laptop but I just use it as a desktop pc. It's way too bulky and cumbersome to use outside of that kind of environment even without considering that you'd need to bring a mouse to play any KBM game properly, plus the battery life is generally terrible and the fans are loud as shit. So, in other words, no.
>>
>>695426132
The point is that it's handheld. I thought that was pretty self explanatory.
I guess it's also pretty decent if you're a console pleb but want to play low spec PC exclusives.
>>
>>695426132

Why hunt rabbits with a cannon? Why use my 7900 XTX for indie slop, when the Steamdeck would suffice? Sometimes I am outside and I want to play. Sometimes I am too lazy to sit on my chair. Sometimes I play between sets in my home gym.

Women have common sense and know better. What would happen is people turning over to look at her and her having to explain herself.

if you're not a hideous stinky man freak theres just as good a chance they think you're bold and don't care what people think of you. And that you have money to blow on seemingly expensive electronics.
Or they laugh at you. But guess what, you don't know those people. They weren't gonna randomly come onto you and want to be friends because they saw you in public looking "normal"
>>
>>695456037
Well, yeah. I don't see why you felt the need to say this as if it contradicted the original reply

For me, the problem with playing it on a train or plane is that you rarely get enough armroom to be able to hold it comfortably. Maybe if it's practically empty, but otherwise no. I get more use out of it sitting in airports waiting out layovers, in the hotel or on the sofa at home.
>>
>>695455726
True: I've only ever seen women playing on the switch in public. The deck was men only
>>
>>695426586
Doesn't your shit overheat with this setup? Sounds incredibly dangerous

I don’t know. I didn’t already have a PC. So I guess the steam deck is perfect for me!!

>>695455484
If you're buying a laptop for gaming, why won't you buy a PC instead? Handhelds have a completely different form factor, which makes them super comfy for playing vidya even at home. And if we're talking about Deck, an instant sleep mode is much more convenient than launching your games every single time.
And if you have a good PC, you can stream especially demanding games to your handheld.

You aspire to be a loser?

I dont use public transport because I'm no longer poor. But when I did, let's say a 1.5 hour train ride, I didn't want to look at a screen, maybe listen to music and relax in a seat, if I could actually get a seat.

Most people are NPCs, socialization with NPCs is peak NPC behavior, retard.
>>695444404
>left alone? that's a very sad state of existence.
maybe for losers like you, actual nonNPCs are fine with their own thoughts on their own.

When the Deck first launched this was a big enough problem, but now you can get 2230s all over the place. Still it would be nice if a follow-up device made the space for 2280.
>>695435485
You've never run the claw grip for MH? It's excessively difficult to do lying down with a DS. Wasn't so rough on the PSP but that thing was much lighter and didn't have the awkward weight placement of the second screen dragging it down.
>>695440349
Jesus fucking Christ I never even thought of using a Steam Deck to handle hardware encoding for Jellyfin, that's hilarious.

I usually talk to some old people when I don't want to read my book but most of them can't move beyond current day politics, sports or the weather. I wish they offered more stimulating discussion, one can only explain relative humidity so much before the ennui sets in.

I bought the 512GB OLED 'eck and am really excited. For the reference i have 2 gaming rigs, one at home and one at work and bought the deck to play on the couch or play more demanding games at work. Also something about it being a handheld makes it comfier by, like, a lot. I can't wait to play balatro on it.

So I finally got my legion go in the mail today, did some extensive testing and I was able to match the steam deck's performance at only 8w by manually setting the gpu clock to 1400mhz and disabling 4 cores. Gotta say the z1 extreme isn't such a bad chip after all. You could do this on all the z1e devices btw, not just the go.

You come across the worst example of humanity in public transports, only actual NPC that can't stand being without human contact for more than 5 minutes socialize on it (and even then they give up rather quickly to chat on their phones)

skill issue

>>695466045
Had one. Now I have a work laptop and a steam deck. I personally feel downsizing was worth it. But that's because I started to realize that all the games that needed beefier specs were shit.

Haha, ya this is true; If not the worst just retards in general. I honestly wonder how any of these people are able to breath.

>>695466431
>I personally feel downsizing was worth it
Was it? Its generally better to future proof for any decent titles that may require better hardware. I don't really have any good examples except...hell divers, monster hunter?

>>695466734
Even worse. They don't even use their "computer" for anything.

Why would you get the legion go? Its go an inferior display and touchpad from what i'm hearing.

WHHAAAAAAAT!?!?!?
>>
>>695468996
touchpad seems fine and works without any issues in most games I've tried so far
>inferior screen
I hate oled and I don't think its higher res 144hz panel is bad at all, considering I'm mostly going to be using this thing to stream games from my 4090 pc.
>>
>>695426317
saar please go the twitter for the discussings of the Jeet Ally X
>>
>>695426132
Is this thread just a meme at this point?
>>
>>695469112
Does the touchpad work like a trackball that the steamdeck has emulated

>I hate oled
Why? It's just better than regular IPS by ten fold. Better viewing angles, superior contrast, superior response times, no clouding, etc..
>>
>>695469879
not by default, it just works like a normal trackpad. Also, oled never solved the burn in problem and I've never had an oled display that didn't look like dogshit 10 years later or flat out die.
>>
>>695470079
okay so I looked it up and yes there is an option to make it into trackball among other things.
>>
>>695470079
>not by default
So there is an option? You just have to enable it I guess?

>burn in problem
I'm pretty sure this is mostly gone at this point. Either way, you could always run it at half brightness and/or replace the panel at any given point later on. The steam deck, I can imagine, has tons of repair parts available on the market.

>that didn't look like dogshit 10 years later
I think I know what you mean. However, those problems are pretty ancient at this point.
>>
>>695470361
Sorry pal but you won't convince me to join team oled, I'm not having it happen to me AGAIN, lesson learned, blacklisted tech.
>>
>>695470567
Well that's unfortunate. You're downsizing quite a bit their with IPS tech

Instead of being this retarded you couldve just bought the base model deck for a couple hundred and set your gaming pc up as a server to stream to your deck, then you have a far superior controller and battery life with full access to your pc on the go

>>695462445
most games that don't simply start have an entry on protondb that explain that you just need to use a different proton version or use a specific launch option

>only actual NPC that can't stand being without human contact for more than 5 minutes socialize on it
>You come across the worst example of humanity in public transport
I'm the anon who is willing to talk to people on public transport and wholeheartedly agree with this analysis and beyond the repetitive themes there's also the example of fellow nutters and people who only complain about things.
I don't have problems talking to people either or having long conversations with people on topics but it really does wear you down.
I take public transport because I'm banned from driving and it's free. I used to drive most places before that.
The only thing worse than talking to some of these people are taxi drivers who want to be hairdressers; this is why I do not travel by taxi and practice ambidexterity to the point of cutting my own hair.

I will never look down on someone for reading a book, listening to some music through headphones or playing a videogame on public transport. They know how awful it is.
>>
>>695426132
Some people are autistic enough to reject playing on a TV/monitor and instead just want to be lazy on their couches or beds.
I don't get them either.

>muh bus, muh train
It's funny how /v/ makes fun of poorniggers, somehow nobody owns the car.

Handhelds were made with third-worlders in mind since their inception.
>>
>>695426132
People may shill for other competitors like the ROG Ally for muh performance and battrery life, but once you rebind your ABXY buttons to the R4R5 / L4L5 buttons on the back? it's hard to accept anything else.
>>
>>695472414
I mean there are places where you need to take the train or metro. In some cities you really have no choice on the matter.
>>
>>695474724
This pretty much. I tried to own a car in Tokyo but Switching or Decking on train was much more comfortable.
>>
>>695426132
i use it when i go to my inlaws or on the train
>>
>>695474724

Same reason I own a Nintendo Switch. Gay-man away from desktop.
