- no touchpads
and assuming it’s like their other handhelds…
- no back buttons
- runs windows
And most likely poor repairability
Every. Single. Fucking. Time.
These people don’t fucking see the light urrghhhhhhhh
- runs windows.
Let me present to you https://bazzite.gg ✨ (I assume it’s easy to flash these things just like on the other brands)
I don’t think people understand that Valve also is going to own this space because of all the work they’ve done on Linux, them not being a trash company to their users (though, THAT bar is low).
So this is going to be very much a “Raspberry Pi” type of situation where - yeah, you can buy better SBC’s than a Raspberry Pi; but everyone buys the Pi because it’s got a lot of developer backing and an amazing ecosystem.
This is what always springs to mind to me.
Valve has a vested interest in keeping the Steam Deck 1 up-to-date even after they eventually release the 2.
Can we say the same about ASUS? And what about the smaller OEMs? Aya Neo has 14 handhelds out for gods’ sake
You don’t “rival” the Steam Deck with better hardware alone.
Fan base is loyal, native linux support, no obvious UX advantages with competition
It has that performance at 65% resolution scaling.
Imagine running windows on a handheld lol
But can I get it for $400? Because if not, then why are we talking about the Steam Deck.
