I love how everone was hating on the 64gb steam deck and now love it because it is so much cheaper to upgrade yourself. I bought my 2230 ssd the day i pre ordered for $25....i wish the 64gb was true emmc memory so we could add more storage. But still good they made it easy to replace and upgrade. If they hadnt sold so many high end models they could of shot themselves in the foot with the easy of ability to upgrade the steam deck.
I think I'm getting the 64gb and just getting a 512gb SanDisk extreme. From everything I've read performance is the same between SSD and micro SD. I'm going to play elden ring do you think the open world will perform fine on SD card idc about instal or load times.
@@Spencerwalker21 i dont think you would notice performance drop much coming from the micro sd instead of internal storage. Valve has done good work it seems to incorporate micro sd into the system without performance hit. Mostly just load times maybe but who really cares about that when u are saying yourself 100's of $ doing to upgrade yourself. I was only able to get a 128gb at the time i purchased but got it for $25 CAD...which is still super cheap compared to the 128gb model.
The steam controller was amazing. I still use mine all the time. I wish they didn't discontinue it, even if it wasn't for everyone.
They never explained it and even have the default controls use the shitty joystick so no one thought it was better than a regular controller. look up aperture desk job and you will see what they should have done.
They should bring out an upgraded silent fan. Think people would like the option down the line for any upgraded parts.
It's the first of its kind by valve, they are bound to make mistakes with it, i myself can't went for steam deck 2 where they will iron out all the physical and hardware flaws they have come across through feedback and see what steamOS will shape up to be by then once it has been polished to near perfection.
ETA Prime just did a comparison but these are the only numbers that matters...
ONEXPLAYER mini: $1,259
Steam Deck: $399, $529, $649
Gpd win max 2 will beat the steam deck in peformance by a lot
@@thecrwster Of course it will, but will it be affordable? Honestly you're paying 3X the price for a GPD win max 2. Paying that much for that kind of performance gain ain't gonna be worth it, Steam deck is still bang for buck.
@@thecrwster I'd expect it to because it'll easily be over double the price
@@vovical yea but your paying a premium for build quality and peformance and since it's a small company. It has to cost that much. Ur getting a 6800u that has 8 cores and 16 threads. It will be around 1200
@@thecrwster You're getting a premium quality item in the steam deck for less though.
Well since my Steam Deck is going to take almost 2-3 months I might as well order that 1TB SSD so I can replace the one in my Steam Deck by the time it arrives.
I did the same, got a Samsung PM991 1TB 2230 SSD yesterday
Imagine if you could mod the thumb stick's to something more like a PlayStation or Xbox controller that would be dope as hell if possible.
The top is touch sensitive so you'd lose some functionality
When you kept your haircut from back when you were a teenager to an adult lol
OLED deck mod! OLED deck mod! OLED deck mod!
I thought about getting a Steam Deck, the decided not to. But this episode makes me reconsider and maybe a will get one. I checked on games that will run on it and it's quite a few. Not the ones I want, but maybe I can get them to work. Awesome episode! 👍👍
Most games will surprisingly just work others have workarounds
get in line now then buy one of the other company's (aya, one x, GPD, etc) and sell it when you finaly get your steam deck.
Corsair sells a 1TB drive that can be used for this. Probably the most reliable company to make one. I ordered it, the dock, and the steam deck all the same day. Drive arrived first, then the dock, then finally the steam deck about a week after the drive.
Where in this video did you ruin this machine
Very surprised Valve is essentially blessing opening and changing the SSD. The connectors used are not intended for multiple insertions. The connectors and cables are both weak. Especially the battery ones. Yes, I have a Deck to know this.
Valid but how many ssd changes would you expect to make past a single initial upgrade? Even if someone hasn't been warned about iffy connectors
@@SirUncleDolan Just takes one time, so point is be gentle.
Did it still work after................?
Good video, though too many jump cuts. not good. I think there is a jump cut between 5 to 10 seconds apart. less is way better.
i mean nobody can deny aya neo next is beautiful to look at compared to steamdeck but i just get steamdeck because the support and gpu power is there and the fact i've been waiting all this time to get it q2 and i ain't waiting no longer for an aya neo next on backorder now if all of these handhelds was availible all at the same time i doubt id go for steam deck id go for a higher priced handheld I question the build quality of the steam deck it seems so fragile despite what we saw from the punishment demo.
"I can beat Austin" could we see a Matt vs Austin broke vs pro?
What's next, Valve CAR?!?!
One thing no one has said is what to do with the 64/128/256/512GB SSD after removing it? Do I sell it on eBay?
Could make it into an external USB drive
you use it to store yo mama's photos
Because to-niiiight will be the niiiight that I will fall for you... Over Agaaaaaaain!! (every time I see that guy, that song plays in my head I swear)
NOTE: You must have a high speed SD card to get good load times. I believe at least an A2 card. Also, the format for the SD card is custom to the Linux system. (FAT or NTFS will not work AFAIK)
This is not true. An A1 sandisk ultra vs an A2 extreme for example will make no load time difference.
However, it will greatly help in write speeds, so downloading/installing games
@@vovical Well, there is a difference but it's like few milliseconds at most.
I believe the Phawx said: Formatting to BTRFS will work on both Linux and windows (once you install the drivers)
A2? What's that? Do you mean U2? aka the one above C10?
@@bland9876 No there is an 'A' speed class for SD cards too. The A is ment to signify application read and write speeds. It needs a minimum 30 MB/s bus speed which is what 'U3' denotes, so you will see it combined with that on the card. So 'U3 A1' or 'U3 A2'.
'A1' must meet or exceed 1500 IOPS random reads and 500 IOPS random writes.
'A2' must meet or exceed 4000 IOPS random reads and 2000 IOPS random writes.
IOPS stands for input-output access per second.
Jimmy should of stood behind you and man handled you thru the process
I’m already thinking of mods😈
Hell yeah
Didn't Jimmy start by filming for you and Austin?
Sadly scalpers gonna get it anyways. But it’s a pretty cool handheld I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on someday. I’ll probably upgrade the ssd to higher level.
You should put in a reservation and wait 2 years for it lol
@@bedrockanarchyrealm2762 ahhh f that. 😂😂 I’ll just stick with my gaming laptop
@@ghostcat8244 Lmao yeah at that point the Steam Deck 2 could be releasing 😂
@@bedrockanarchyrealm2762 right!! 😂😂 I still haven’t got my hands on Xbox series X yet. But waiting patiently for it being in stores. But I am still happy with Xbox one s I ain’t complaining.
@@ghostcat8244 I got my series x for retail and I'm Q3 on the steamdeck. It doesn't hurt to put in a reservation that you could always cancel its just holding a place in line
Hey guys, this isn't Austin 😛
What game is at 00:02:06 ?
The revised Steam Deck has a black plate that's easier to remove (no foil sticker)
right to repair lets go Steam
thanks for the vid, i was bored
Why is he red?
I am outraged at how he said "cache"
cash aye
I came to comment the same thing. immediately disregard anything anyone says about tech of any kind if they don't even know the word cache...
Did Jimmy have to fight Austin for his spot on camera? Looks like he won
Yes
@@JimmyChampane I was gonna report you for bullying and fighting but I'm just gonna praise you. Sometimes Austin needs to be put in his place 😅👊🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh the ol emo swoop hairdo haha
Is it lighting or does Jimmy look like he's got paint on his face or bruised up?
Man that dude needs a haircut
Cashay
Yeah, not hall sensors. That's the Aya Neo Next.
Hey guys also if you're wondering what what SSD to get you can get there M key and also the B&m key SSD,. I've just seen a video where a a person had the 64GB model and when he took out the emmc storage it showed B&M key as it had two notches instead of one so that means you can either have what everyone else has all you can if you did mistakenly by the more with too much as you can still use it it I don't really know what the difference actually is maybe there would be like less than clear for something but it's still available to lose use and that's great instead of me shelling out another hundred quid on something I've already bought what just to end up getting my steam deck and realising that it was a mistake that I didn't need to flush out more money
Wat
Man, you really need to use punctuation. Everything you wrote there just becomes a jumbled mess when you try to read it.
The Steam Deck is a very cool device!!
I thought the steam deck didn't have the hall effect joy sticks
It doesn't.
It doesn't. he's misinformed.
If I remember right the Phawx said in some podcast that a company he was in contact with plans to make Hall Effect Replacement Sticks. So he maybe confused it with this.
@@RFTL GuliKit has said they are going to make the replacement sticks for it
Title: "I 'Ruined' My Steam Deck."
Me: "Oh, so he put a version of Windows on it."
For me the Steam Deck is the Game Gear of this era. Since everyone likes to compare and bash the Switch cause of the Steam Deck. The Game Gear was way more powerful than the original Gameboy back in the day... Heck even the Atari Lynx was more powerful. Yet the Gameboy was the go to.... I feel the Deck is the device for the "cool kids", like the Game Gear back in the day. Yet most everyday Joe had the Gameboy.
It's 2022 man. We're adults now, we don't have to make these choices anymore. My Steam deck will be a great complement to my Switch.
@@Nifterific so is my PS5 and my Halo xbox series x.... great compliments to my Switch.
Not sure that's a very apt comparison. The Steam Deck instantly has access to a much larger library than any console out there. The Game Gear had to rely on developers making games for it specifically.
how does this ruin the steam deck??
How
its runs fine as a 1060
But did it turn on D:
pretty sure the deck does not have hall sensors for the joysticks
I wouldn't call this device necessary better in terms of performance compared the the aya neo next unless you're going watt for watt.. Also it's subjective but the aya neo looks far better than the steam deck... But tht price point is unbeatable, Ill take the ugly duckling, big clunk, thick bezel device any day at tht price
Actually it looks was nicer in person. My opinion on design from the videos and photos was it's just "ok" and nothing more, but after receiving the unit, it was quite nice looking.
Wow
I don't have the patience to watch this video, can we have a tl;dw on how they ruined it?
Also, probably too late, but: Noise warning at 0:00.
30fps...... what a great experience😐
yeah on a game like elden ring 30fps is fine, you could hit 60 on certain games its just the battery life will be a lot shorter
30fps is more than playable for huge games like Elden Ring or GTA V. Just because 30fps doesn't look good on a widescreen OLED monitor with a 660 gpu pushing the image out, doesn't mean it its ideal with the hardware and software on the deck.
This Jimmy guy pisses me off
"PCB board" ughhhh :D
2nd comment
Emo girl
this looks like a switch lite there even more hard to put back together
Valve made it very clear, you open it, the warranty is void. They will not fix anything if you've opened it.
Valve is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Valve is quoted on TH-cam on their steam deck videos as saying this for the steam deck: "It's your PC, you have every right to open it up and do what you want". The warranty does in fact cover this, you read it on the steam support page on their FAQ on their hardware sold. Opening it yourself is covered under the warranty, but if you do break something while you're inside the deck, that falls under "improperly maintained" under their warranty exclusions again on their "Valve Hardware Warranty" page. Unless you have a quote from a valve official saying otherwise, you are wrong, like hard wrong
I hate Jimmy now for the way he pronounces cache... I CANNOT stand this. Fail :l
