How is it? I have a laptop, a main PC and a PC I use in the living room as an emulation station (3060 V2)

It’s big and swarthy like a hung dusky alpha male…. Bigger than a tiny white cock. I’d buy it!

I wish you guys were normal

Sounds like a solid setup, anon. Your living room emulation station with a 3060 is more than capable of running basically everything up to PS3/Wii U era smoothly, maybe even dabble with some early Switch stuff. Do you mostly stream from your main PC or run everything natively on the emu box? Also, curious if you're using Batocera or just running Windows with frontend like LaunchBox/BigBox?

I have a legion go which has better specs. It is a mixed bag honestly. It is perfect for indie games and for switch emulation. For anything contemporary 3d it struggles to hit 60FPS. I guess it really matters what kind of games you play. I would never use it for FPS or RTS.

Why the OLED version? You know you're going to get burn in, right?

Switch will run better than ps3

I run everything natively through the emu box. I use Windows, with Steam Big Picture as my front. My also runs Plex, so I put everything my gf wants to watch on to the 8TB HDD and she watches that slop through Plex (through a Google Chromecast)

It's showing its limitations but at the same time most of the games that struggles with is absolute slop.

>>715818695 (OP)
quality device. I mostly use it in docked mode though and would be better served by a mini-PC for my low-power alternate setup. I'm hoping Fremont is real and is that.

It's a brilliant secondary PC for taking 90% of your games on the go.

Why the Steam deck instead of any other handheld with an OLED screen?

>>715819695
deck has better ergonomics, cost, and linux is a better platform for handheld devices by increasing both performance and battery life.

Because the Steam Deck was designed by people who actually play video games. The whole point of a PC handheld is to play PC games on the go. The Steam Deck is the best in that department for two reasons:

>input options
Self explanatory. Steam Input allows you to map inputs to trackpads and back buttons (and all the other buttons too). The trackpads are the best part of the Deck:
>left trackpad for hotkey menus
>right trackpads for mouse
>back buttons for moar buttons
>capacitive joysticks for gyro activation when touching the stick
Steam Input allows you to craft and share control schemes for PC games that don't support controllers and wouldn't work on them to begin with.

>best performance at low TDP
If you look at all the other competitors on the UMPC market, you notice that they're more powerful than the Deck. That's because they use hungry chips that guzzle battery during use. This is incredibly bad for a handheld. In addition, they're using Windows 11 which is unoptimised jeetware which hogs system resources, while SteamOS is designed to be more efficient. The Steam Deck OLED does extremely well at low wattages vs the other UMPCs, allowing for maximum playtime, especially when running less demanding software.

These two factors explain the Deck is the best.

Why do you need a 4th pc?

>>715818695 (OP)
I wouldn't spend that much on a deck unless you must have an oled screen.

Retards and their money are soon parted

I'm waiting for the Steam Deck 2 in 2027.

Unless you want a gaming laptop in a handheld format, I’m not sure if it really suits your set up OP. Can you give your laptop specs?
For context, the Deck’s RDNA2 chipset will be able to handle games up to PS4-era levels of technology. It will struggle with current gen unoptimized titles. But you can grab a cheap third party dock on Amazon, and mouse and keyboard, and use it as a lightweight secondary PC. Not to mention that it has some good built in upscaling solutions that you can also use it as another TV gaming solution.

>>715818695 (OP)
Are you using it in your home or as a true portable?
If the former, don't buy it. Just use your existing hardware.
If the latter, don't, it's too big for casual use.
