>Optimized and streamlined version of Windows 11 without all the bloat
Deck's days are officially numbered

>No Shader sharing
Proton wins again.

2 more weeks

I have a Deck and a Rog Ally X, I have no need for this goofy looking thing.

>>719021503 (OP)
>Xbox Ally X
Holy fuck Microsoft is incapable of naming anything. Also what's the point of this thing if you can't even play your native Xbox library on PC?

>>719021503 (OP)
>rog xbox ally x
Just call it xbox portable or something like that.

>>719021503 (OP)
I hope it works on desktop windows too.

>>719021503 (OP)
>Optimized windows 11
I highly doubt it lol

>>719021503 (OP)
>2-3x the price
Nope.gif

So when can I get this "streamlined" version of Windows on my normal PC?

>>719023989
Its a terrible idea to brand it as Xbox at all since it doesn't play Xbox games, its just a standard Windows UMPC. It only plays Windows games. It would have made more sense to brand it under the Surface line along with their other tablets and laptops

>>719021503 (OP)
>bloat free windows
the weirdest oxymoron I've heard in a while

>>719024462
it probably has builtin support to play your zogbox (tm) games over lan

IoT LTSC already exists althougheverbeit

>>719024251
>better hardware costs more money
Shocking isn't it?

>>719024707
It has no special features whatsoever that are not present for any other Windows 11 desktop, or laptop, or even other handhelds.

>>719023989
or Xbox Series A, but again >>719024462
is probably right

>>719021503 (OP)
People keep missing the forest for the trees. The Deck was never about winning spec wars or being the most optimized device. Valve’s whole play was to normalize handheld PCs for casuals who wouldn’t touch a tower or gaming laptop.

By proving the market exists, Valve basically forced every other tech giant to wade in, and guess what? Every single one of those devices needs Steam, because nobody is going to risk launching a whole new store ecosystem just to compete with THE name brand of PC gaming.

Being able disable all the useless features and bloat in windows 11 to free up ram and CPU/GPU usage is kinda a feature.

Does it come with a dock? i expect something with it since the thing is 900 bucks

>>719025129
Running services.msc and stopping things from running isn't unique to this either. Its just marketing BS.

Is this an offer to buy me one? Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with my Deck

>>719025195
It's worthless being better than the Steam Deck if you can't justify me to buy it when I already have one.

>>719024832
The only reason you'd want windows on it is for anti-cheat and stuff like that.

>>719025427
ESL post.

I am only excited about the new windows version, maybe you can use it on desktop with hacks

>>719025195
Never understood the point of a dock. Literally just plug the device into your monitor and set it on your desk lol

Every single time.

>>719025632
I plug mine into the TV to do family game nights. Or when I'm looking after the kids. Steam Deck is relatively portable so it makes it easy to down and dirty some good PC games.

>>719025614
I absolutely one hundred percent guarantee you that there is nothing special about it and you can already do everything its going to do. If you were an intrepid individual you could probably make a tiny shell script to turn your own true "game mode" on and off

>>719021503 (OP)
>just a slightly debloated Windows but with an Xbox app
You already have this with AME/Atlas/Revi, and it still sucks ass. Removing bloat does almost nothing to improve gaming performance. In most games and on most systems the performance difference is 1%-2%.
The underlying OS is just shit.

>>719025816
>Removing bloat does almost nothing to improve gaming performance
the absolute insanity of this statement really reaffirms the fact this place is filled with bots and paid marketers.
at no point would an actual person with a remotely knowledge brain say someone as retarded as this.

>>719025816
It depends on how much over head you have. If you have a lot then reducing stuff running won't do a whole lot.

>>719024462
You could play Xbox games through gamepass streaming

>>719021503 (OP)
Watch them add bloat anyways.

>>719026817
Yeah, weren't they trying to push some AI shit that you could ask how to play the game or something?

>>719024832
the marketing department begs to differ

>>719021503 (OP)
>optimized 11
>hires jeets
surely they wont have another critical bug that fck your storage

>>719021503 (OP)
Does it play Xbox games?

>>719027550
No.

>Windows 11 without all the bloat
>only frees up 2GB of RAM
>Windows is still working in background
Sure, it is

>>719021503 (OP)
It's default win11 with a big picture mode. SteamOS is going to perform better on it and use less energy.

>>719021503 (OP)
Steam Deck has touch-capacitive thumb-sticks to turn on gyro, does this?

Steam Deck has two touchpads, does this?

I don't fucking care about 2K Ultra settings Cyberpunk running on that thing, it's like an 8 inch screen.

>>719026106
He's right you retard. You're not going to get a noticable performance boost slightly debloating W11

>>719021503 (OP)
I have a deck and I'll probably get this.

>>719029301
>it's like an 8 inch screen
I know right like what the fuck? Why would I even bother buying a steam deck with it's 7 inch screen?!

>>719032029
do you have brain damage

>>719032057
Does the steam deck not have a 7 inch screen?

7 inches are not enough to please anon. He needs the black deck's 8.
