Steam Deck hands-on: PC power with console conveniences

The Steam Deck hardware delivers, while SteamOS has the potential to deliver a great on-the-go PC gaming experience.

PC Power lol, i have it orderez but come on. It’s on par with last gen consoles maybe

Vits1743d ago

PC Power is not only about the hardware "power". It's about what you can do with a PC that you really can't on a console. Or that is somewhat restrict on one.

It really needs a 1080p screen for media playing. I know gaming at that resolution wont happen but playing movies under HD is tough. I still preordered though. Im so done with Sony and Microsoft.

It's a trade really. At that size a 800p screen is perfect as it allow the APU to really do its best. While also not taxing the battery too much. But for media consumption it is indeed lacking.

That said. If you want to go the other route. As in a device that priorize media consumption first and gaming later. While at a similar form factor. The Onexplayer is a option with its 8.4" / 2.5k Screen.

I think they mean options and flexibility…

The switch feels even more like a toy now. But OLED sceeen tho! Lol

King_Noctis1743d ago

So do you think Steam Deck will outsell the "toy" OLED Switch?

Om4ever1742d ago

No... Just because so much people like toys

Not going to lie. All the s"#$ I talked about this and if I had the money to throw away, I would buy this to play CRPGS in bed. The whole reason why I took a break from Pathfinder was because I get sick of sitting at my desk.

I really look forward to this. Will be a nice addition to my ps5 and switch for pc and xbox games. Don't care about graphics too much. But i won't miss out too much any longer, escpecially now that bethesda belongs to ms. Perfect timing for steam deck for me.

"Seeing every photo and video of the Steam Deck on the internet didn't prepare me for seeing it in person. It's a goliath—somehow way bigger than I expected, especially when compared side-by-side with a Nintendo Switch."

I'll be curious once I get mine to compare it to my Switch with the Split Pad Pro attachment - I bet it won't be quite as absurd a comparison at that point. And for that, I am glad - I really enjoy having the extra surface area to grab and the improved ergonomics the wider grip provides.
