Is it a good time to buy one?
>RAM crisis>Valve clearly stated if there's ever a SD2, it would be due to a significant technology gap.I wouldn't expect a SD2 before 2030 at that point.
No don't buy this scam shitBuy a Switch 2
>>731099456Do you have a good PC?>yesget one>noinvest into a good PC>>731099804>buy the shitty locked down tablet instead of the open PC handheldgreat idea tendie
Just be like me and wait another 5 years.
>>731099456ram prices are probably going to rape the price soon so now's the timei have a launch model and havent had issues with it at all, but i travel a lot and get most of my use of it through that, if you think you'll use it then go for it.
>>731099456You should switch TO a nintendo handheld
>>731099982Correct it is a great idea, I'm telling him to buy a device with games instead of a tinkertranny tablet
>>731099982If you don't have a good PC then you still get a decent PC with the Deck. Just dock that shit and hook it up to your monitor, keyboard and mouse, etc.
>>731100142>>731099804>>731100310>muh tinkertrannyspoken like a retard who can't handle a single menu, even deck verified alone shits on shitch poo's current "catalog"
>>731099456I'd get the more powerful competition, although they don't come with SteamOS
I have an LCD deck and both my L and R buttons barely work anymore and apparently there's no easy way to fix them because they're shittily designed and changed the parts for the Deck OLEDWhat the fuck do I do? I don't have any other computer
>>731100512you forgot your trip
>>731099804I want all tendie vegans to get cancer and die
>>731099456I just want steamos for arm to come out
>>731100618My L button on my LCD one is fucked because I was a retard and grabbed the case without realizing that it wasn't zipped up, so it fell onto the floor on that side. When I looked it up, you needed to replace the whole board on that side or something tedious, so I gave up.I got the OLED and I was pretty surprised that they put a fucking velcro strap on the case too. I wonder if a lot of other people did the same shit I did.
>>731100692This but PC vegans
>>731100749I haven't even dropped or been rough with mine, I've just used it a lot with bumper jumper configsI always put jump and crouch on the bumpers and now both are fucked up
>>731100675and? not a single switch2pooner has proved me wrong about the steam deck being objectively better than the shitch, all they do is spam the same tired vids of poorly set up emulation or UE5 shit that would never run on the Switch 2 in decades

>>731101434Making up new boogey men won't salvage your shitty library anon>>731101506They don't care about that shit. Having their shitch brick is just an excuse to rebuy the entire device twice
It's kind of shit ngl.Your phone or tablet can do pretty much anything the deck does. Except run 5-10 year old triple A titles at sub-par performance I guess.>>731100460>deck>decent pcDelusional
>enter deck thread>console war shitposting
>>731099456You can get one or wait until 2028 for the Deck 2, your choice.>>731099694Valve wouldn't have brought it up in their Steam Hardware trailer if it was in 2030. It's 2028, AMD, probably Medusa Premium/Halo Mini/Little Halo but cut-down from it's original core and compute unit counts with ways to make sure there's as little chiplet tax as possible.
It already plays basically every game worth a shit in a resolution that looks good on the device.This (generally) won't magically change, I can't promise it won't EVER change, because developers and publishers can still do retarded shit with "their games" but you can just pirate an old version, and if you get something better for actually running games on you can stream your games to it for better battery life and fidelity.As long as your home network isn't set up like complete crap, it looks and runs great.I ran ethernet to mine and had an okay time streaming 4k vidya from my desktop in the other room to my steam deck docked.
>>731099456Still going strong and I don't play AAA shit.>>731099804Nigger
>>731101628>yeah bro you can just emulate windows games on your phone bro, don't mind the burning hot temps the tiny battery and miniscule screen and the lack of keyboard+mouse inputsThe Steam Deck is probably the best 7th gen PC vidya machine on the market right now. Trackpads, gyro and back buttons can play keyboard games nearly on par with desktop levels of experience without needing to sit at a desk. Sorry you're a consolebabby faggot who can't utilise this fantastic machine.
>>731102226>Gets outsold in just one month by the Switch 2KWAB
I have a odin 2 portal and the screen blows the shit deck out of the water and runs switch games and 2d indie games
>>731102270>yeah bro it sold ten million on its own>just ignore the fact that previous version has been out since 2017 and sold 150 million units because it was a cheap tablet that could play fortnite, minecraft, animal crossing and mario during COVIDwake me up when it even scratches 50 million
>>731099456It's probably the worst time to buy one since it can't even run new games anymore. Get a used rog ally z1e instead.
>>731102482You know it's probably not weird at all, it's probably like an opportunity cost thing, but games that don't run on the steam deck tend to suck ass, and even games that came out last year that are good run pretty great on it.
>>731099456Yes, but the best moment was when the 64 GB model was under 300
>>731102598>but games that don't run on the steam deck tend to suck assThat's very subjective. I had a lot of fun with Helldivers and that thing couldn't even run helldive without shitting itself due to all the enemies on screen.
>>731102598the issue is you dont want to play higher quality games on a handheld because its too fucking intensive on such a tiny screen to look at
still worth it given deck 2 is years and years away given RAM pricing. i doubt valve will increase the price of the current deck though. it's probably the most soulful handheld to ever exist and will bring you joy.
Just buy the Switch 2
>>731103182Being two years away isn't years and years away, man.
>>731102690Can you define what you mean "higher quality games"? Because typically actually good games have nice visual clarity so playing on a small screen isn't too bad.
>>731103312>just buy the locked down piece of shit that charges you 80 bucks per titlegreat choice
>>731099456Fuck I wish I wasn't such a dumb kid and asked for one of these for Christmas instead of the switch
>>731103391Yes it is a great choice, it actually has games
>>731103548deck has more games>inb4 muh tinkertranny (completely optional)>inb4 muh steam (you don't have to use it)>inb4 muh exclusives (deck is a PC)>>731103535and reddit clapped
>>731103925Reddit loves the deck
Yes since it can play all my Steam, 3DS, DS, and Wii games with mods and rom hacks. Idgaf about emulating Switch games since I have a Switch 2, and I’m mostly playing what’s from my Steam library regardless.
>>731099456i bought the cheapest one on sale for $360This was the best console i ever had and i had a lot. it's my favorite one after Nintendo DSFuck literally any other console.Steam deck can play absolutely ALL GAMES i'm interested in.

I tried the ROG ally and even that was a bit too big and heavy for me to hold comfortable for long periods of timeI hear the steamdeck has much better ergonomics despite it's size, will that likely be more comfortable for me or is the size/weight being bigger gonna outweigh any other ergonomic benefits?

>>731099456At this point it's better to be patient for the SD2. If you really need something then it's fine, but we're at a point where it's already old enough that eventually it's successor is going to come out reasonably soon. If you're impatient then by all means.>>731099694They said they want a roughly 50% increase on it, and current top of the line stuff is about 20-30% and priced at 2x as much. They also said that realistically we should be seeing it sometime near 2028 at the earliest so I wouldn't think 2030 is when it would happen.
>>731109361So he should buy a Switch 2 instead right
>>731109420Why? He wants a handheld PC. Realistically the only option that's worth it is a Rog Ally X on sale for like $100-200 more.
>>731109476>Why?The Switch 2 has games unlike this piece of shit
>>731109508Everything combined doesn't add up to botw lmaoWhy are you so desperately trying to market it?
>>731099456Better time than ever. I've had the Deck since 2024 and it's only gotten better since I bought it. Today I upgraded to the beta build to see what's going on with it and I'm pleasantly surprised by NTsync. Power usage has dropped by about 20% and games with terrible microstutter like Fallout 3 and Black Ops run much better. That being said, it's not perfect. If you want to play most AAA games made after 2020 at anything more than an FSR'd 720p @ 30FPS you'll need to get the Steam Machine instead (or just a better PC). There are also beefier handhelds out there. I also own a Switch 2 and it's gonna cover me until the SD2 comes out.
>>731109567>Why are you so desperately trying to market it?But enough about /v/alve reddit pcmr dreck shills

It was already obsolete on releaseand with each year it becomes even worsethis is why it sold even worse than the vita
>>731110418The dreck is such fucking shit
>>731110418All these games that run like shit on the deck are from devs not optimizing their shit. Valve would have had to put a 5080 in the deck to play Unreal Engine 5 garbage at acceptable framerates and then the battery life would be 8 seconds.
>>731110418If Steam didn't had made that thing, other companies wouldn't have tried to do that kind of portable PCs to play too.
>>731110682The removable controller one is the only one doing anything better than the 'eckno oled and no trackpads shouldn't be an enduring criticism of the copycats
the only thing I don't like about the deck are the XYAB buttons. they are too small and too round. I'd preferred it if they were more like dualshock buttons: flat
>>731109508What do you mean...?On a pc handheld you can play everything, and if it's not playable on it, it's bound to be at some pointYou can literally play more nintendo games on one of them than on any unmodded Nintendo consoles
Which one is better?Xbox Rog Ally X or Lenovo Legion Go 2?
>>731110576Get Gabe's dick out your mouth.
>>731110682I love my Ally running SteamOS, feels like what the PSP promised to be and the PSP was my favorite system of all time.

>>731111284Yeah and they were overpriced as fuck and shit to use because there was zero competition there.
>>731111345He ask which one was better, not which one was the biggest waste of money
>>731111428This but I fell for /v/alve pcmr reddit shilling and lies and bought a PC that has no games
>>731101154Come on anon, I've barely bought physical games for the 2 due to all the third parties being cheap and going for keycardsAnd that sucks because I wanted to have Pacman World 2 on cart
>>731111284The ones that used Android and phone hardware?Those are glorified smartphones that don't have the "smart" part anymore.
>>731111221I don't even have a steam deck, my point is that it's absurd to expect it to play AAA games that can barely run well on full desktops. Games that are worth playing will run on Steam Deck and all of >>731110682 these devices.
>>731111569Welp, removing the "smart parts" is often a good thingIf you remove the "smart parts" from your windows OS, your pc will run infinitely better

>>731111172Legion Go 2 by far, it has an OLED screen. The XB Rog Ally X has a pretty shitty LCD.
>>731099694In 2030 we don't have access to new computers, and society is changed so much that the idea of "market" barely even exists. There's a clear push right now towards that "Great Reset", which if you read the original article by Ida Auken, was precisely that we will end up in a wonderful future where everything is a subscription service and no one has a claim on anything. So even if you're poor, anything you need will be offered by your beloved government through the cloud and digital infrastructure.What she doesn't mention is that this means the state will have a hand in deciding more things for you, like what kinds of content you consume based on your age/gender (basically anti-incel behavioral control becomes automated). There's a reason why Sony is playing around with automatic censorship in old games through AI, is all I'm saying.

>>731112134It outperforms the switch in its home turf, yes Doesn't outsell it because it's a tiny, unadvertised launch of a device that you're not forced to use to play your steam games
Yes SD OLED is great. If you want more power with similar ergonomics (and a much worse tiny trackpad) get the legion go s with z1e.

>>731100902This is very important to me.So is this means the buttons of Steam Deck easily broke? Damn. I never see anyone saying something about it here.
>>731114474I use mine as I use all my controllers (which means that I go a bit hard on it sometimes), using it almost daily for 2 years, still in perfectly fine conditionDepends on the person and there's always a risk of your hardware having problems, but from my experience the buttons are alrightWorst case, if your guarantee is still on, you can always send it to Valve for them to repair it and send it back to you
>>731114474neither the steam controller nor the deck have good buttons, compared to a dualshock controller. A button on the steam controller is jamming and I barely used the controller. X button on deck requires more pressure to trigger than the other 3 buttons

>>731107779I only care about the Steam Deck. In all honesty, it's probably not going to pick up until Microsoft releases their own first-party Xbox handheld to go against the Steam Deck 2. The main problem with PC handhelds right now, is that it's being made by nobody companies who don't have an OS nor do they have games.
>>731115967Don't you have more game to steal PCsnoy?

>>731116394>Gabe dreck releases>thirdie pcmr valvesnoy cultists spam every Switch and Nintendo thread with PC WON SONY WON THE SHITCH LOST >Switch 2 comes out and outsells the dreck in a month>cultists seethe and whine and make up lies about the specs because they lost hardKWABPick your battles better next time, this is just sweet revenge :)
>>731116530>tendies parse life through an estrogen minded popularity paradigm and consensus
>>731116530Keep pretending you're not seething by wasting your life shitting up steam deck threads.
>>731116418PCsnoys say this and then proceed to shill Palworld (Pokemon ripoff) and the dreck (Switch ripoff)
>>731116530The switch and switch 2 would've sold like shit if its games were officially out on pcGenuinely atrocious hardware only popular due to being the only official way to play Nintendo games
>>731116594>>731116614>>731116631>>731116662Total ericsnoy meltdown
>>731116631Pokémon hasn't been good for more than a decade Explains why you're more deranged than average, you're a tendie^2
>>731116018Are you retarded? PC handhelds are PCs, whether you use windows or steamos. And both windows and steamos have an infinite number more games than the switch, Xbox or PlayStation.
>>731116662The hardware feels great though? Nintendo products are always well engineered.
>>731116767>worst IPS screen of the decade >Joycons made to be recognisable and not comfortable >20w battery
>>731099456I got one during a sale. What should I play on it while flying for 10 hours? I was thinking of Dark Souls and Dragon's Dogma.
>>731099804
Damn man all I said is that all Valve did was put a video and a web page up for the gabe cube, I get the state of gaming now, but sheesh you need to chill out.
>>731116732Steam Deck is the only PC handheld worth getting, the others feel generic, like something is missing.
>>731116931Imagine how hard it's going to flop
>>731099456you mean another one? did they announce a new LE? I have the OG and OLED. Unless they announced some cool LE one. If you don't have one why are you retarded? I just got like 24 free games from that mina the hollower thread the other day to scratch the itch of it being delayed. Plus for 20 dollars like once a year at like 8 different times you can get 30+ really good games. I recommend a jsaux dock hdmi cable and a bluetooth controller and you don't need any of these new fangled cuck consoles.
Why do the mods allow blatant shill threads like these but delete comfy Switch threads?
>>731099456If you got a PC and never leave home, no.If you go outside every now and then it's nice to have one.Especially on vacation or travels.
>>731116826The screen is more vivid than the steam deck. The joycons are fine, not sure what the problem is. The battery is a complaint, yes, but that goes for all portables. Its nothing out of the ordinary.
>>731117141>The screen is more vivid than the steam deckholy cope
>>731099456it’s kino for retroachivements
>>731117073We should have a console boardI'd love to look at it, it'd be slow as shit and jannies would have to suspend the no flame wars rule since that's all you do
>>731117141damn now i wanna sell my deck and buy a swotch 2
>>731117229This but a PC board
why are nintoddllers so insufferable?
>>731117239what do you even play on the switch 2? Mario Bros 245, Mario Kart 654, Zelda 879, Pokemon Shit/Piss. what else is there?
>>731117141It has higher brightness because oled but the consequence of that is raping the already miserable battery lifeThe joy cons are flat and only made to be recognisable, they don't fit the human hand shape at all
>>731117372Nuh uh, pc is the majority of this board nowYou get the hyphenated treatment since you're the minority
>>731117376Chad
>>731117436The switch 2 doesn't even have OLED. It's a trash console with horrible response times
>>731117803I was referring to the deck oled, oled has lower peak brightness than IPS so that's where he got the muh vivid cope from
>>731117436>>731117803>>731117864OLEDsnoys make up the dumbest lies
>>731117919Shoo, you're too stupid for this subject
>>731117803>muh response timeIts not like you use it to play competitive csgo
>>731117992It's one thing to demand 0.3ms desktop oled response times from a handheld but this thing can't even deliver 60hz properly
>>731099456The OLED model has a gorgeous screen and it’s very versatile as you’d expect with what’s basically a Switch shaped gaming laptop but it doesn’t perform the best in more recent games and can be a bit buggy. It’s kinda old now too but nothing has replaced it (yet; non OLED handhelds go in the trash). I’d say go for it if you know you’ll use it and don’t care about the latest sloppa.

>>731102226>don't mind the burning hot tempsthere's phones with an active cooling system (only kicks at high load, like gayming)>the tiny battery bypass charging exists, so battery is never an issue>and miniscule screenthe size of displays on phones nowadays is nearing the size of displays on handhelds. handhelds also have massive bezels that take over the real screen estate>and the lack of keyboard+mouse inputsusb-c and bluetooth exist on the phones

>>731099456It got me to finally play my backlog of older 2D steam and emulated games I never had motivation enough to play on my desktop. Compared to other handheld PCs it's size and form factor are more comfortable and those 2 mouse pads will come in handy when trying to configure controls for certain titles which don't have native controller support. SD also has the most community support/custom software to solve any issues compared to any of the other handhelds out there. The only real trade off is it's not the best at running the latest AAA games compared to other handhelds but that's what your desktop should be for anyways.
>>731099804Nice b8 m8
>>731099456I've owned one for two years now, it's my preferred system and I love it, but I'd get a more powerful one like the Ally or the Legion Go if I were you. If you are willing to pay more that is.
>>731111645>don't even have a steam deckchecks out, you're blindly defending trash you've never even used just out of loyalty for valve
