    I much prefer the Steam Decks approach on handheld gaming. Instead of matching the latest desktop systems in hardware they focus on the console-like experience.

      I also like how they try to stay within a certain price range and focus on experience and efficiency, rather than push the latest hardware.

        I highly doubt Valve makes a significant profit on Steam Decks, though. Their main win from selling them is that they keep people that have off-desktop gaming needs using their products/games. (Plus, I think Valve just likes advancing gaming even when it doesn’t win them a profit)

        Basically, it’s not surprising these other hardware makers don’t have any business model where they can sell a cheap handheld. It’s probably smarter to go for the niche of enthusiasts that want something stronger than the Deck.

      My bet is that with them being more popular than anyone could have expected, we’ll see the release of a “gaming” version of Windows that better fits these devices.

      That seems to be more of a software plan than a hardware feature, though? I would bet, with some brief engineering, someone could make all these Lenovo/MSI/Asus products run SteamOS as far back as their startup tutorial instead of Windows.

    Wow, finally a handheld with malware-like bloat and a near guarantee of serious design flaws!

      Isn’t that every Windows handheld?

        Yes but just wait til Gigabyte gets their hands in the game.

    Wow! Intel processor AND Windows? The worst of both choices for a handheld!

      Might make a superb hand-warmer in these cold Winter months, though

        Meanwhile the Deck is both a hand warmer, and an aromatic candle.

        For 10 minutes before it needs charging again

    This thing is going to have like a minute and a half worth of battery life.

    source
  • dinckelman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    This thing having 32gb of ram is complete overkill, but I genuinely don’t expect it to have good battery life at all, which is the bigger issue

    source
    • zqwzzle@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Probably required that much ram to feed to windows.

      source
    • torvusbogpod@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      32GB could be useful if the bandwidth is fast enough to be suitable VRAM, because then you can run games that want 16GB allocated to the CPU without having a GPU performance drop

      source
    • pokemaster787@ani.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’ve seen comparisons of the 32GB vs 16GB GPD Win4 and there’s about a 10-15% uplift in performance at the same TDP in a lot of games with the 32GB model.

      So it can give an increase in performance, or at the least let you run at a slightly lower TDP for the same performance and a bit better battery life.

      Of course this was the 6800U, hard to say if the effects are similar for Intel’s chipset or not.

      • dinckelman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        If that’s the case, that’s great. We’ll have to wait until benchmarks drop eventually

      Sometimes I run out of Ram on my steam deck.

      source
  • BigTrout75@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Just shows how successful the Stream Deck is. Funny, the “PC selling game” has traditionally been BIGGER and FASTER, so that’s what they’re doing. 🤔

    Go Steam Deck!

    source
  • verysoft@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Just looks flimsy as shit. The Steam Deck is premium quality at a much more affordable price, the point these 'competitors' seem to be missing while rushing for higher numbers on their spec sheets.

    source
    • yamanii@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Huh, I find the deck to be the ugliest though, but still the best since it’s battery life is unbeatable.

      source
  • Melonpoly@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yes lets use the lesser efficient chip option for a portable device.

    source
    • freebee@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Sure, but only if we can do it in a combo with a lesser efficient operating system for any device.

      source
  • numberfour002@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The battery life difference between the OLED Steam Deck versus the Asus and Lenovo competitors was a major factor in my decision to choose the Deck. As others have pointed out, it’s hard to imagine that MSI (of all companies) can deliver on battery life given these other specs, let alone other considerations like weight & size. Good for them if they manage to excel at all of these things, but I’m going to have to see it to believe it. And as of right now, I haven’t seen anything at all.

    source
    • Patches@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      The only reason to choose MSI for PC parts is price so yes it would be very hard for them to compete. Their QA is non-existent and their Customer Support Ethereal.

        Also afterburner, great piece of software.

    Well Arc is still bad as far as I know so I don’t see this being as good as Steam Deck, Rog Ally or Legion. But I would really like to be proven wrong!

    source
    • RisingSwell@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Arc is good at newer games, however a handheld is more likely than most devices to play older games so maybe not the best choice.

      source
  • Grass@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It would be good if more developers optimize to have an enjoyable experience on these current handhelds if nothing else. It would make for an easier entry point as far as system requirements go for PC gaming in general. I still don’t get how games that look hardly any better than GameCube or PS2 on their low to medium settings run so poorly on hardware that could simultaneously emulate multiple instances of the consoles on multiple monitors, with visual improvement mods, for bootleg tournaments without breaking a sweat.

    This device looks like just a slightly less ugly rog handheld, but not significantly though.

    • yamanii@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      During the valve panel on Tokyo Game Show, Harada from tekken said that the deck is now the main target for optimization for them, since it’s basically a console just not locked down.

      source
      • Sabin10@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I would love it if T8 could lock a solid 60fps on the deck. T7 fluctuates between 45 to 60 for me with everything set to low, not ideal for a fighting game.

    Interesting how handheld gaming is slowly changing the gaming focus.

    source
  • yamanii@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Intel chip on portables, oh no.

    source
  • tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It looks so much like the Asus ROG Ally, I wonder if Asus could sue for infringement. I love my Ally, but 32 gb of RAM sounds nice. Not sure if Intel is the best chip choice, but only benchmarks will tell.

    source
    • Linkerbaan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It doesn’t just look like the Ally, it looks like they used the exact same PCBs with a slightly different exterior. Same Led joysticks, same screen bezels, same button locations…

      Even the small vertical buttons on the left and right of the screen are present.

      source
  • BmeBenji@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    No trackpads? I’m straight-up not interested. With how finicky PC gaming can be when it comes to window-focus issues, if I don’t have extra controls on a handheld PC to be able to randomly click or mash emulated keyboard keys I’m not gonna feel comfortable with the handheld.

    source
    • Copernican@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m wondering if it’s a touch screen to help with that. I prefer steam controller track pads, but I could get by with a touchscreen for portable in some games.

    That fucking name is reason not to buy it already.

    It’s not even claw, it’s CLAW grrrrr fear me and my pocket Cheeto dust.

    Is the “Intel chip” a good or bad news? I7 seems good.

    source
    • simple@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Probably bad news. Even though the newest intel chip is way better than the last one, it uses a lot more power than AMD meaning the battery and thermals will be worse.

      source
      • ekZepp@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        So basically a Black Rogh Ally evem more power-hungry. Ty for the reply btw 👍
