Its fantastic to play stuff remotely though, with sunshine/moonlight. I can VPN into my home network from coffee shops, hotels, etc and play much stronger titles streamed from my PC.

The device is just woefully underpowered now compared to the competition. It’s fine if you just use it for emulation, old games, or just playing stuff at 30fps. But I want to have something with more power, especially at the new price point.
I’m patiently waiting for a Steam Deck 2.

How’s the input lag with that setup?

Fine for my needs, I don’t play FPSs or platformers though, just single player RPG’s and open world games.
Moonlight seems to use 10mb/s to stream, so its not very demanding on internet either.

I should definitely try it then. Playing Palworld right now so it might be a good game to try it on.

It’s my only gaming device, so I don’t have much to compare it against - but I enjoyed cyberpunk on it, and am currently enjoying baldur’s gate 3. But yeah, I’ll definitely get steam deck 2 as soon as.

Me too, but not looking forward to the price, and probably won’t wind up getting one 😔

I mean, if you’re playing super high-fidelity games, you won’t really absorb many details on that small screen. I get mine for indie games where I can turn down the wattage regularly.
