Came out months ago.And it's this thing,you just can't afford it.Good luck waiting 3y and when the actual Steam deck 2 gets released at 1k you won't have the money for that either.
>Is $2500 in your pathJust get a Rog Ally Xbox X instead.
>>736776234This is 3x more powerful
>external battery tetherNo thanksWake me up when the GPD Win 4 gets updated to use Intel Panther Lake
>>736776295It's an external removable battery and it's the best thing about it.Imagine having to remove a glued in battery after 8 month's
>>736776181i like that my lightweight steamdeck does 7 hours on 4 tdp
>>736776295
>>736776181>Thermal issues WIN.LMAO. GPD got surpassed when Gayben released his 'eck.Also:>No trackpadsDouble LMAO.
>>736776370You can now run for 210h+ on android handhelds when paying indie games and yeah android runs windows games now
>>736776424Two fans runs great and it has a trackpad
>>736776181Steam Deck 2 will release in 2028 using the handheld variant of AMD's Medusa Point.
>>736776753Rdna 3.5 so it's trash
>>736776753The tdp is too high for valve.
>>736776991It's RDNA 4m meaning native FSR 4 while having XDNA 3 NPU.>>736777495Thus, why they're waiting for 2028, Medusa Point should be binned to just 6 cores with lower clocks allowing for a strict 15W TDP.
Still to this day I don't understand the appeal of shit like this, right down to the Switch.>Yeah, let me play AAA titles on a minute screen>Yeah, let me carry this brick around with me>Yeah, let me look like a total geek doing this all in public
>>736776280And 2.5x more expensive.
>>736776181whats the battery life like 20 min LOL
>>736777658Manchildren
>>736776181>external battery
>>736776181>asym sticksdogshit garbage don't need to know anything more
>>736776181I love mine. Cost less than half what I just sold my Deck 1 for and it has twice the storage. Over 100 PC games installed that I've tested and verified work correctly, as well as every noteworthy Switch and 3DS game.
>>736777650we HOPE it's RDNA 4 or 5 but rumors say AMD is planning to jew out and keep RDNA 3.5 on midrange and entry-level APUs. Yes, even two fucking generations after it was obsolete. But Nvidia are the bad guys, don't forget. They committed the sin of making a product that was popular, the bastards.
>>736776181My bet's that Gaben is planning to make Deck 2 with an ARM CPU once Fez fully matures
>>736777650>>736778651What about those new intel chips, they're looking mighty fine on the mobile side, no?
>>736778651New rumors are pointing towards a mobile RDNA 4, it's a cross between RDNA 3.5 and RDNA 4 being called RDNA 4m, it'll have the AI blocks necessary for native FSR 4. Basically, it's RDNA 3.5 but with RDNA 4 components.
>>736778587You guys really don't get how great a second screen on a handheld is but I guarantee most of you would rather get your eye scooped out with a rusty spoon than not have a second monitor connected to your PC.You can run any Android app on the second screen. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing this is for any game with a tedious section. I can play a JRPG and idly grind on the top screen while I watch a video on the bottom.
>>736778654My hope as well. Fuck AMD and fuck RDNA 3.5.
>>736778785Yeah they do actually, though I don't know the state of their Linux support. At the very least it might be nice price leverage against AMD. Could be more trouble than it's worth, hard to say.
>>736778850id rather not play the shit game desuthe fuck kinda chink cope is that?
>>736778587Let's see your time playing these games.
>>736778785They don't hit a strict 15W. Valve wants efficiency, not power. 6-core Medusa Point would give them over 100% performance per watt over the Steam Deck while maintaining a strict 15W TDP at 1200p.
>>736777650It's not it 3.5
>>736777658Handhelds are a thing always where
>>736777762So what ?What if WW3 hits and you didn't have fun.Do you want to die without fun?
>>736778654My bet is it's not coming at all
>>736780046It's 3.5+
>>736776181>no trackpadsHow am I supposed to play videogames with this thing?
>>736776181>the so called deck 2>no trackpads>not even 4 grip buttons
>>736780315It has one
>>736776181Thanks Trump.
>>736776181I don't need it. Original Steam Deck still runs Elden Ring, and almost all of indie game releases on Steam. And the emulators aren't going anywhere either.
>>736778850>it’s good for shit gamesWeird flex but ok
No trackpads no buy
>no trackpadsNot a Steam Deck 2.The point is that I can play any PC game, not just consolefag shit that conforms to an Xbox controller.
I'd rather just play on my PC, because these devices are meant to be cheaper to support SOME games for travel, not all-encompassing. build a fucking PC instead of spending $3000 on a handheld that will be made irrelephant and obsolete in 2 years like the deck currently is. BUT, the deck at least has support behind it, they still update it, and games still release presets for it specifically. Meanwhile winGPD devices stop getting support 3 months after release while they do a press junket for the next one.But yeah, just build a fucking PC, if you want a handheld, get a cheap one, not even a deck, literally ANY cheap one, and use it to play older shit on the go. Stop buying these shit ass devices you can't upgrade or modify in any meaningful way and expecting them to play modern titles at full fidelity.
>>736781452People actually use the trackpads? They're the one thing I wish the deck didn't have, any time I would EVER need a mouse I'd just use the touchscreen. I fucking haaaaaaaaate them, they're so awkward.
>>736776181>no track pads>lowered right thumbstick and dpad>pointless giant power buttonTRASH
>>736777658It's like a phone, but instead of watching videos you play
>>736776181I wouldn't bother with a non-ARM handheld nowadays with how good GHL/GN are. ARM is the future.
>>736783801I thought the same at first, then I started using them, now i can never go back. They're insanely helpful for any situation.I'm getting the steam controller because of the trackpads..well if it ever comes out.
>>736778850>in case the game doesn't meet your insane standards for stimulation you can watch Youtube shorts at the same time so your brain is never forced to think againWhy stop there? Dangle a phone on either side of your head so you can keep up with politics and porn while your eyes drift away from the game that isn't worth your attention span.
>>736776181>asymmetrical analog positioningdropped without any further consideration, not worth my time
>>736783841The power button is also in a worse position, I could see it getting pressed by your palm on occasion.
>>736783743Also those big fuckers devour their own battery life. They pretty much have to be plugged in if you're going to play for more than an hour.If you're plugging in, just get a fucking used laptop from 5 years ago and connect a USB controller. You're already lugging a huge thing around that literally isn't portable. Why pay a premium for an oddly shaped computer that does only one thing (unless you mod it)?
>>736776181>permanent asymmetrical stick layoutso fucking closeanalog sticks that high up on a handheld device is a thumb cramping machine
>>736776181>>>>>>>>>>>>>>IPSits trash the moment it came out
>>736780106I have more fun on a Game Boy than anything modern
>>736781452Use a mouse and keyboard or the new steam controller
>>736786708You're a weirdo
>>736776181>have steam deck>cost me like 350 bucks>can play Slay the Spire 2 for hours on battery in bed>max /comfy/This is what handhelds are forI don't need some gay fucking pc wannabe, if I want to play Crimson Desert I have a 4090, and I'm sure as shit not taking these shits out in public you fucking weirdos Handhelds are for cheap /comfy/ gaming from your bed or on the couch, why the fuck would you pay desktop pc prices to run a AAA game at mediocre frames for an hour and a half while the thing screams at you from its jet turbines trying its best to keep it cool?
