Should I buy an OLED steam deck or just buy the cheap LCD version?
Wait for the deck 2
>>720773332wait for my dick too9K8W9-CZKMZ-HRZPE
>>720773332everywhere I hear its not coming out any time soon
are you gonna dock it more or use it handheld more
>>720772843If you're going to use it portable a lot, get the OLED. LCD is perfectly serviceable, though.
>>720772843LCD if you're poor; or a ROG ally or something if you are not.
>Have LCD Steam deckDo I upgrade to 1 tb or 2tb or should I just wait for the steam deck 2 before upgrading the memory?
>>720772843You should just stop being poor and get a high end PC and a Switch 2. That combo is all you need.Anything else is just poor browns screetching and ree'ing in poverty.
>>720774237imo I'd just get an SD card.I got 256gb on the internal on mine and a 512gb sd card and rarely do I feel like I need more.Used to use an external hard drive while docked but I guess the power draw was too high and it'd cause issues with bluetooth, maybe you could use an SSD idk if those use less power or whatever.T. launch day 64gb deck dork who still uses it fairly regularly.
>>720774617you're right thanks
>>720774531Maybe if there is a modchip
>>720774793You don't need a mod chip, that's just more poor brown people speak. You use your PC to emulate and pirate it absolutely need. You use your switch for exclusives.
>>720773597itll come out exactly 7 minutes after your 64gb lcd deck + amazon 516gb nvme arrive at your door
get an OLED, the lcd deck has a design flaw with the bumpers and after 300 hours of tf2 + other games on the thing both my bumpers only register a press if I press them harder past the point they click and it's really fucking infuriating especially because there's no way to fix it without cannibalizing micro switches from a joycon and learning how to fucking solder them onto the daughter board which is buried behind and extensive disassembly
>>720774753You CAN use an external hard drive on it if you want to back up games for later, but I wouldn't recommend using an external hard drive regularly, y'know unless I'm dumb and there's some shit I'm doing wrong and there's a good chance I am, I don't fuck around with external hard drives usually.
>>720775171you sold me, getting an oled, thanks anon.>>720775041I want to play PC games from my bed and I already have a good Steam library, why would I want to spend 500 dollars on another device where I need to buy every game I already have on my PC?
>>720775327the oled has a lot of unspoken improvements besides the screen, I'm pretty sure the processor itself is a smaller and more efficient die and the ram is faster or something it's not a hardware overhaul but it's way more iterated than a switch oled and basically an improvement in every way to the point I feel ripped off that I got a normal deck from the 10% off sale they had just before they announced the OLED
>>720775171>solderlet + playing tf2 (or any shooter) on controller
>>720776472I shit on mkb faggots playing on my deck with gyro controls and the touchpad cope more
Laptop
Not sure how the touchscreen is on the OLED but on my LCD 256gb there are places where touch doesn't register unless it is plugged in to power. There are reddit threads about this issue but no fixes I've been able to find. It makes the touch screen so frustrating to use that I don't use it at all.
>>720776926Not him but if you're playing tf2 on the deck how the fuck are you wearing out the bumpers?
>>720777476real gamers map jump and crouch to L1 and R1
>>720774531>and a Switch 2lmao nice try
>>720772843OLED
>>720773597It's coming early 2027, Kepler's information comes from different contacts of supply chains, some are saying 2027, others are saying 2028, Valve says they have hardware to announce next year on their anniversary. That should tell you when the Steam Deck 2 will actually release right there given the Steam Deck was announced a year before it released.>>720773332This
>steam decklollmao
>>720772843Buy switch 2
>>720779686this is cool but why did they even bother for this game?
>>720775041>exclusivesI don't want to play fucking Mario Kart and Pokemon Minecraft ripoff, just because it's exclusive doesn't mean it's good
The 512gb OLED is the best bet. I have the LCD and my brother has the OLED. You can buy the LCD and enjoy it without any buyer's remorse, but the OLED screen is just beautiful when you put them side by side. It's worth the price difference. Don't get the 1tb version. The etched glass looks like shit and you can upgrade the storage yourself in 30 minutes
>>720779376Bro its two years from now.
>>720779783>no you don't need a truck, just get a car like normal people!>i don't care you're a trucker that carry cargo.. just.. drive car already!
>>720779686Something about this webm seems dishonest, maybe I just don't trust tendies like I don't trust jews, either way the Switch version looks and runs like shit too and I can just stream any game my Deck struggles with from my PC
>>720779686Steam deck on high graphics and the switch on low graphics
>>720775537The biggest upgrade on the OLED is the Bluetooth not being absolute shit
>>720780328The graphics look better on the shitch though..
>>720780221It actually does run better on the switch 2 because it has raytracing, and the switch 2 is better at raytracing than the steam deck.So if you want to play raytraced games specifically, you might want a switch 2.Now if you have different gaming needs, like if you want to play factorio on the go, the switch 2 is not an option because it does not have the games you want.
>>720772843LCDFirst off there's not point getting a dock or anything. Its a supplement to your PC, not a replacement for it. You're also a retard if you try to use it as a PC. Its a gaming device which doubles as a PC but I am sure you have an actual PC/laptop for productivity.I play it in bed, while doing laundry and on airplanes. Sometimes at work if its quiet. You won't need the highest end one. Get the 256GB one and two SD cards, one for your PC games and one for emulationI use my Rog Ally X way more than I use my Deck though
>>720780221>just spend $550 on a shit deck so you can have a huge brick to stream games as you could already do on the phone you already own valve cucks are the most pathetic consoomers on the planet
>>720780440I mean that's cool and all but I have a 9800x3D and a 9070 xt, I don't need to play 240p 30 fps(with dips) "ray traced" ports on the Switch 2
>>720780493I tried to do steam link streaming but that shit is fucked.
>>720780328lol the steam deck is actually struggling to go above 20fps ON THE LOWEST GRAPHIC SETTINGS
>>720780493>just spend 700 plus internet fee so you can have a huge brick to play... uh...Yeah I'm going to pass on the Switch 2
>>720779686Wow 1 (ONE) game runs better on the Shitch 2. I guess you'll have something else to play other than Mario Kart: Drive in a Straight Line and Donkey Kong: Pay $100 for a Complete Game.
>>720780542Yes, but it is not as portable as a switch 2 or steam deck.It boil down to "do it have at least 10 games i want to play on the form it has"?And for many people it will be a big yes.Some may even buy multiple consoles."Console wars" are just a psyop to turn kids and fat guys into propaganda jannies, that spend 30-40 years of their lives doing marketing for a corporation for free.
>>720780838>just oneevery single multiplat runs better on the switch 2 version than on the deckyou wasted money on a low tier laptop that can't compete even with a tablet
>>720780991You can't play windows solitaire on the switch 2.
>>720780493streaming games to your phone is such a 3rd world country move, Hello Saar
>>720780926I agree console warring is for faggots, I'm just not personally interested in the Switch 2, I'm not really entertained by Nintendo games anymore and I certainly wouldn't want to play ports on a Switch 2 which is imo by far the worst way to play them. The Deck isn't a powerhouse by any means but for it has the option to stream from my capable PC if I feel like doing the portable thing.
>>720781076Yep you're you, and tendies can't agent smith you into being then.Not even if they get the autistic screaming powers of the MiSter faggot.
>>720781076Honestly if you're going to stream then just get a cheap chinkheld for like $100 and do it that way. I eventually sold my deck since it was too weak to play any games I wanted and older indie stuff could be emulated on an android phone anyways (or streamed from my PC).
>>720780991No it doesn't retardSõy wars only runs better due to forced raytracingRemember all the cyberpunk shilling you tendies did only for it to be running shit below the lowest pc settings?
>>720780493You're spending $450 on a corporate toy with a nonexistent catalog lmaoDeck is a pc, it can do all the functions of one and it's bought because you explicitly want a pc with that form factor Meanwhile you're an early adopter for a toy treating waiting a year for games like it's an investment
>>720775041I'd bite if they weren't priced at $90 here. Do regional pricing or fuck off. Don't give me that "poorfag" shit, not everyone wants to be a retard with their money and pay off the CEO's next premium deluxe yacht
>>720776926the bots in training mode dont play mkb
>>7207735972028
>>720780186Did you just completely ignore my entire post? Supply chains aren't accurate, they say when they believe something is coming which for Deck 2 is between 2027 and 2028, the supply chain before that told Kepler 2027. Kepler originally said the next Xbox was 2026, he then changed it to 2027, but now rumors are coming up that it is 2026. Valve stated that they have gaming hardware to announced on the 30th anniversary of Valve. What hardware did Valve announce in 2021 for their 25th anniversary? Steam Deck 2 is releasing in 2027, anon.
>>7207822512027, see>>720779376 and>>720782571Listen to Valve and no one else
Which one makes for the better goon station? Asking for a friend, btw.
>>720782653It is still 2028.
>>720772843>>720773597Get the OLED. It's worth it
>>720782841It's 2027
Has Valve given hints at what their plans are for the Steam Deck 2, like a budget LCD model and an OLED model?
>>720773597The sooner you buy it, the sooner it'll come out. Take one for the team.
>>720784701only rumors of a new steam-machine like device. something you can plug into a tv with a controller.theres also rumors of an ARM device, which could be a new vr headset, but we dont know.
>>720784701Arm situation makes it feasible for an ARM powered handheld that can do a bunch of cool shitModern gaming gets not shit enough to justify a hardware spec boost.
>>720784701No
>>720785317Damn
