So Did You Pre Order The New OLED?
No the steam deck OLED is garbage and a waste of money. Wait for the new Nintendo switch instead.
@@MacGamingGuides ok honey lol
Probably not, unless they upgrade APU power.
Not yet, but planning to, will sell my LCD Steam Deck for sure then.
I'm disappointed the video doesn't address other machines, as suggested in the headline
The OG LCD Steam Deck is 40WH, not 45wh! The battery life boost is still very impresive
Yes probably a typo since the charger is a 45W Power supply
He totally typed the power supply 🤦🏻♂️
Wow! I bet your really fun at parties!
@@briangirnus9498 Because I corrected a minor problem? Lmao
Given that an iPhone has a better battery life playing AAA games with more pixels in its screen, the battery life on this thing is atrocious. What we need is for AMD to make an ARM-based chip and work with Valve to create a hardware-based translation layer for the Steam Deck 2. Then, it would not only give them amazing battery life, but an edge over every other handheld that couldn't have a bespoke hardware and software-based translation layer in their handhelds running Windows. Maybe I'm just on some serious copium, but I really do believe this is in their best interest to do this.
The performance jump may not be much but it's far more than I was expecting. Combined with the new screen, longer battery life and quieter play, it was a worthy upgrade for me.
Amazing device for the money.
Imagine thinking in 2015 that in a few years we would be playing (outside the most demanding ones) current gen titles in a portable form factor with a top of the line screen.
Where will these devices be in 10 years?
Ray tracing and 1080p? Incredible what APUs can do.
I don't think you have to wait 10 years lol. Rog Ally and Legion Go can already do a few games with light ray tracing as it is now. Perhaps the next gen of APU from Amd will allow for 1080p with full ray tracing.
@@LeeLee-fi7mx Oh I meant those specs in demanding AAA of 2033. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Ray Tracing in 1440p with current gen titles in 2033 on AFFORDABLE DEVICES.
@@LeeLee-fi7mxthat means in 5 years the next jump will be 50% better. and then 2 and half years to get another 50% boost.
Maybe FSR and DLSS will be at least somewhat fleshed out by then.
The 2-3 fps perf improvement might not sound like much, but I've noticed that it often makes a difference in whether certain games can hit the frame limit or not and that makes a big difference with perceived smoothness.
Apparently the frame pacing is better too. That small difference can be "big" in some games.
Yes but the 10 degree less heating is super nice.
@DjVanHeb yes and it's because totally different motherboard and 6nm so heating is more efficient.
Just purchased my first steam deck oled 512 over the limited edition because of the better screen on the 512. I wish Valve gave us the option for antiglare or no anti glare with the. 1tb models…
The background work on software is as amazing as the hardware revision :P
Absolutely. I have the original LCD steamdeck and steam OS 3.5 just landed yesterday. It actually gave me a bit of a performance boost
Me too the battery got bosst too instead 1min drain now got 3min drain
I meant the Linux HDR journey but perhaps you weren't that into those parts 😅
Copium
I didn’t even know these existed! So I bought the 512 OLED yesterday and super excited to see what the deck can do with my back log of small indie games on steam! Wasteland 2 is one I think will be fun!
Lol yeah I was in a similar boat earlier this year. My cousin came down in May with one of these saying, "Look at this thing I can play Eden Ring on." Bought the 512 LCD in the summer sale. Now I want one of these.
Curious to know how you like the glossy screen without the etched anti-glare finish!
Yall must be living under a rock?
@@Mace1094 when I get it I will update on the screen with glossy! I can say there is a difference between glossy and matte on my desktop monitor that I tried! I own the Alienware 3440x1440 QDOLED and have compared it to the LG 1440p OLED and there is a difference, but if you don’t have them side by side you get used to the matte screens effect on the OLED screen. I am assuming the same to be true with the steam deck.
@@h3ctor272 buried deep under that rock my friend lol!
The screen alone feels like a worth while upgrade. OLED is so nice to game on. Response times are fantastic. And I think if you're someone that games on battery on your steam deck then the larger battery and more efficient parts makes this a no brainer.
Just ordered one. I hope a better more ultimate best model doesn’t come out next week LOL
Don't care about the performance - it's plenty enough for what I use it for. The screen and battery life were my two biggest gripes with the device and both of those got addressed. Already got my order placed and can't wait to get my hands on it!
I want to thank everyone at Valve for giving us a solid alternative to Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo for gaming.
I ordered the 1TB option last night. I've been a handheld power user for a long time on various systems, my phone or my laptop. The Steam Deck and handheld PC space in general has been super exciting to see develop and now that I have money saved up I'm finally jumping in. I considered the ROG Ally or The Lenovo Legion Go but atm the Steam Deck Oled seems more polished in terms of hardware quality. I started an overnight shift where I don't have much to do so when I'm not studying I can now catch up on my Steam Backlog. I'm so excited.
From what I've heard the ROG ally is waaaaay less polished in terms of software and game support
Right, I feel the same.
Ordered yesterday the 1tb Version. Cant wait. Its my first SD. Hyped af 😂
Assassin's Creed Odyssey was the game that convinced me HDR was worth it. The transition from inside a cave or building to outside was massively better with HDR.
The game that made me appreciate it was Wipeout Omega Collection on PS4/PS5.
There's just no going back afterwards. Those "Zone" levels look insane with a good HDR tv.
oled is worth it, not necessarily hdr.
I really can't wait to get my own handheld gaming PC
This pushed me over the edge on getting one. I have always wanted one but waiting for this screen was worth it. I definitely am excited for the emulator on all of the old games. Snes ❤
When the OLED was announced I also thought "man, i should have waited...." but then i thought for 5 more seconds and thought "what am I talking about, I've been using this for a year now, I'm happy I didn't wait!" lol
@@PrayTellGamingYeeeeaah NO. lol. You haven't been using the OLED ONE to be precise. It's like what he said before: "This is what it should have been from the very beginning." We waited and now we're rewarded with a PROPER first experience AND it has significant upgrades. Plus that LCD screen is HORRIBLE in comparison smh. Can't for my beautiful 1TB OLED Steam Deck and my 1TB SD card to arrive. U enjoy YOURS tho whatever.
😂🤣
Muy buen trabajo como siempre ETA, que maravillosa maquina sin duda la voy adquirir gracias por tu analisis saludos desde Mexico ✌️
Thank you for a great video, I have the LCD steam deck and you said in your vid, I had to consider the performance and how much do I game on the deck, I will go with what ever come first either the battery stops taking a charge or a better performing Steam deck, the steam deck 2, for my next upgrade. Really happy something of a small upgrade to the handheld was made, compared to other consoles going for a downgrade on the mid-range devise before moving onto their next version. Steam gives me good vibes for their future Steam Deck
no shot! I was just looking at the store and came to TH-cam only to see my go to gamer review pop up 30 seconds ago.
I’m not even interested in this as a stand alone but excited to setup remote/emulation option. HDR + OLED + Wifi6e with the firm factor of having a controller attached is exactly what I was looking for and bam Valve announced this
So like Sonys dumbass thing but can actually play games and works with more than just PS5.
Oh yeah and it's got Bluetooth lol.
Very cool hope your setup goes well.
I'm looking forward to pairing this with my 4070ti and LG C1 as a remote play device. I am hopeful that streaming HDR content from my PC to the OLED Deck will be seamless! Also, super excited about Retroarch HDR, it looks so good on my C1. I'm praying that the Deck HDR implementation plays nice with Retroarch! Even without HDR, there's nothing like OLED emulation (closest possible to a CRT these days).
Only problem is now I need a 6e router. 😅
I wouldn’t really compare them. The PS Portal is half the cost of the cheapest steam deck. Also more of a niche thing for people who can’t use the tv all the time.
PS portal is E waste wont sell well and Sony will kill it in 2025. I am not a fan of Steamdeck because of the raw power but i can see why people adore Valve/SD.
I’m so glad I held off on buying an OG Deck. Can’t wait to get my new 512gb OLED this week
I am great fan of the Steam Deck because it's designed to be a handheld gaming console first, and this is reflected by both Valve's and the community's excellent support for this device. Yes, it would be nice to have a more powerful APU, but I would rather a stable platform for 2 to 4 years where game developers optimise for this platform rather than chasing every new technological development, and then suffering from buyer's remorse immediately the next gaming handheld is released with the latest and greatest APU. Since owning a Steam Deck, I have not been tempted by any of the latest Windows Gaming handhelds because Valve's design philosophy, Steam OS and support model works for me. I might buy an OLED Steam Deck though because the new display is a game changer, I would like more storage, and the other improvements are worthwhile.
Yes Sold my LCD Steam Deck 512gb, Bought The OLED 512gb it was two hundred dollar difference including the taxes.
Went for the lower storage tier.. Because I wanted the Glossy screen, planing to upgrade to 2tb anyway
Finally, the Switch OLED came out
got mine ordered 30 min after orders went live due to errors in checkout. hopefully I get it in soon
Another banger video ETA. Can you make a video comparing the Oled gloss vs anti glare please.
Will definitely get the 2 when it releases.
Will this be able to run the new modern warfare three online? Thanks for your reviews of the best.
Now I would like to see what its OC and UV potential is.
Maybe you can get more out of it with a lower nm. There is a larger TDP reserve.
Thanks for the video!
I ordered one of the OLED ones. Does it already have a glass cover on the screen? I remember needing to buy a screen cover for the switch for various reasons.
Can you overclock RAM even further? To 6800 MT/s or to 7200 MT/s? And what about undervolting?
Yup! It’s my first foray into PC gaming.
Sticking with the LLG. I like knowledge thou. Keep it up Prime.
Getting mine after Christmas. Already have most of the money saved.
Lol you put that screwdriver away good sir! I had some anxiety with you waving it around at the specs onscreen. 😂
That is a true statement. How much do you use the steam deck to warrant an upgrade? I fall into this category. I use it a lot since launch and a mid refresh works for myself to get the OLED. The LCD models goes to a family member to give them the experience of owning a steam deck.
Yup I will be giving it to my son, too bad he’s 2 lol
@@David-ck2dc He's gonna be a Linux expert before he can talk properly lol
Im more interested in the docked performance metrics. I use mine most of the time while docked.
Will you be trying any undervolt and overclock like the lcd version you have a video on? Curious with the more efficient co the performance per watt should be better and raining it to 25TDP would be interesting to see the difference
hopefully with whatever the actual steamdeck 2 is . this new updated model will be the standard jusy with a power increase and maybe battery improvements. wish they would make a full size nvme as the standard.
The steam deck has no sleep mode while downloading games. Doesn’t that mean it’ll possibly burn in easier since we don’t have any screen saver or anything??
Damn, good point well raised
@@KevinHughes1982 Thanks it’s a concern I have no ones addressing. Aside from OlED has come a long way blah blah. Well yeah it’s Come a long way but most of what protects Oled from burn in is software oriented.
Does the Oled model come with "anti tamper" tag on the case ? Every review i've seem it's already without it
Ive ordered the OLED and i think ill be dropping my rog ally for it to be honest, having used the ally for almost 6 months now almost exclusively (got LCD deck too) ive come to realize the ally just isnt that refined. It always comes down to the little things as stupid as they may be but they make the user experience a tier up on deck. The deck offers so much better community integration, custom control schemes, custom software features etc The OS just feels integrated on deck while on the ally the software feels tacked on as an overlay which is essentially what it is - but with that comes little hiccups that rock the experience like just tapping the bumpers to switch screens in armory crate causes freezes and a second or two before changing, it feels pretty bad. Even down to the minor things like having a battery life estimate, it seems like such a simple and obvious quality of life feature that encourages you to tweak settings to gain minutes, its a game in itself lol. The sleep mode on deck is just something else too, sooo many little things that make a big difference.
Ultimately i chose the ally to play games over the last few months because the gaming experience was better, better screen, better sound, better performance but with the OLED deck they just fixed almost everything that was wrong with it and it speaks volumes about what valve is about. Im really just not that bothered about losing performance either, AAA games that run poor on deck still run poor on ally just a little less poor, so what ive come to realize is indie games are the one for handhelds and performance on all the handhelds in indies is excellent.
The deck is a PERFECT backlog killer. AAA games from just a few years ago run perfectly. And thousands of games from consoles run perfect in emulation. I haven’t used my consoles (besides the switch) since I got the deck. I end up playing a ton of PS2 games and a lot of games I missed or want to play again from the 2005-2017 era.
Steam deck oled better than rog ally ?
@@hunterhunter-ch4ps couldn't say for sure because im waiting on the OLED to arrive but the only downside i can see to the deck is power... if you plan to play AAA games then the power of the ally will be needed to be honest, but AAA games will be a struggle either way, as far as im concerned the 7840u/z1 extreme is just not good enough for AAA games and when playing indie games the deck is in a league of its own because it performs better at lower wattage so performance is good, battery life improved, heat reduced... on top of it now having an OLED display, improved speakers, bigger battery, excellent slick UI... the list goes on and on, i just dont see how the Ally can be a better device overall unless you absolutely need that power.
i gave the ally a fair crack of the whip, im playing it right this second in fact, but its unrefined, its just a handheld windows pc that comes with fairly sloppy software (although that does improve usually with every update.)
@@hanspecans well i wouldnt call it perfect, we all know the deck could do with more power but as an experience in the hands its unmatched, its just not all about power with these things its how the whole experience feels.
@@hunterhunter-ch4ps It depends, and it will be different for everyone. The Ally uses Windows which means you can play any game no matter what, it has better performance, better resolution (1080p) and a higher refresh rate (120hz) with variable refresh rate, but there are pros and cons to the ROG Ally. Same as there are pros and cons to this new OLED model, the biggest complaint people will have with the new OLED model is that the performance is still the same as the LCD model which can be off putting for a lot of people. If you care about performance and playing the latest triple a games, then I would suggest the ROG Ally, but if you aren't as bothered then the Steam Deck OLED.
If you give it another week or two, I am sure there will be plenty of videos coming out that will do direct head to head of various handheld devices to help make you make a decision!
Got the limited edition after a 35 minute war
Hey prime would you say in emulation OLED is much better then the LCD with vibrant plug-in as far as picture quality? Thats the reason i want to upgrade but not sure yet
OLED is unbeatable even compared to micro LED or any other top of the line. That's for literally any OLED device.
Cool to hit that like button? I hit it as soon as I started the video 😎👍
Always appreciate your detailed yet not too long videos. Perfect overview, thank you.
Ordered and can't wait.. this to me is what upgrading from a v1 switch to a oled is going to be like. I play it a ton more.
Gonna be insane running the games I play for 2 hours, putting it to sleep and picking it back up for another 2 hours and not having to charge it. Plus they'll look great.
Its better than that...
Switch only got the screen, deck so much more
@@the_retagwym? the Switch also had better battery life from v1 to OLED, better thermals, better fan noise
Emulate it
Wouldn't it be even more insane playing the games on more performant handhelds such as Rog Ally or Lenovo Legion Go?
@@plaistowjames6792 nope... top speed isn't everything. Comfort, controls, software, support, battery life... ROG and Legion is just like trying to put fastest chip because some people only care how high their FPS is. I'd just give up handheld gaming and stick to laptop/desktop if I was stuck with either of those.
Cannot wait to receive mine
I went for the limited but the website crashed for 20 minutes and I ended up with a black one. I would like to know the temperature difference between the LCD and OLED running cyberpunk maxed out. And if possible could you tell us how long the battery lasts and the best setup to actually use the steam deck as a steam link device to your PC?
Could you post your cyberpunk settings? Your game seems nicer than mine 😁 I have fsr deactivated and mostly stuff on high but the interior looked better in your video. Thanks a lot!
What time to be alive, even my gaming laptop struggle running Horizon
Got my order in yesterday.
The thing I am most curious about now is whether the Steamdeck Dock can output two 4K60 video streams smoothly, since that's my intended use case is (web browsing on a 4K monitor while watching Anime on a 4K TV).
Ääääääh. And why 4K60 for that?
While I hope it does, I assume it won't. I'm not too sure if it's a hardware or software issue though, it might just be the APU struggles with higher resolutions, in which case the revised chip probably won't help
Why would you buy a handheld console for something like that? It’s pretty much just a gaming device I wouldn’t rely on it for workflow, I guess you would just be doing light stuff but anime doesn’t even get produced in 4k. I mean it’s your money I guess. Might as well just get a cheaper laptop and plug it into a 4k monitor should be fine and that would’ve been a bit cheaper than a steam deck. And uh you bought an oled deck with the intention of basically not using it in handheld? So you would have your oled charging anyway and also wouldn’t need the better battery, you could’ve saved money and just bought a original deck model for cheap reused.
He is just curious if that handheld will also fit that purpose without need to buy another device. 4k60 it did quite fine with 60% usage iirc, but it was 18 months ago
@@chrisgt24 I use Topaz Video AI to interpolate and uprez my favorite Anime.
So, being my first venture in the handheld console/pc, would you recommend going with the oled steam deck or do you think getting the rog ally/legion go would be a better choice. The price difference isn't a big factor, especially if it means having a better experience gaming.
Here's the thing, the Steam Deck had its entire operating system built for handheld gaming. The other guys may be more powerful, but they're shoehorning windows into it. So from my understanding, you'll have a better experience with the Steam Deck OLED. Just remember that it runs Linux, so some games won't be playable because their anti-cheat hasn't been updated to support the Steam Deck.
really wish could get oled but tought better of it i have lcd one and do not really use it enough to justify an upgrade. I am curious does hdr work if streaming from pc? Hope next iteration on sd2 they stick with custom APU for low wattage and maybe go even further custom route replace that ddr5 with gddr7.
Sold my current Deck the moment I saw the announcement. Unfortunately payment failed over and over until the Limited was sold out so I got screwed out of that one but I did pick up a 1TB and can't wait for it to arrive. I think nearly two years for a mostly QOL upgrade is perfectly reasonable and for me personally I'm very happy to be buying in.
I had the same issue yesterday, kept trying until the page showed the limited edition out of stock (this was 10 minutes since the sale started). Initially gave up, then later after 30 minutes of the OLED going on sale the Limited Edition did not show out of stock anymore. Even today it says the LE is available for purchase. Just letting you know if you want to give it a shot.
@@giancarlolugo7048 Yeah there was definitely something funky going on. The standard started saying out of stock but when I went back to the product page it said Buy Now so I just kept trying until it went through. When I was getting out of stock on the Limited going back to the product page gave me an out of stock button. That was about 25 minutes in so I assumed it was really out of stock. Good call out that limited being available for purchase today! I was boarding a plane while this was going down so it was really stressful lmao. Glad I was able to pick one up.
edit: And Steam has already processed my refund on the stand version. Success!
Same issue here. It ended saying that I did too many purchase attempts and blocked me. But after about 36 minutes I was able to order mine.
The limited is still for sale no?
@@SamuelOrf it is but it said sold out yesterday so I bought the standard. After giancarlos post I was able to purchase the limited and refund my standard
If this is steamdeck 1.5, I would be super excited about what eventually steamdeck 2.0 will become.
doesn't it charge faster too?
Gosh! I hope I get it mine by Thanksgiving!! Turkey , SDO, Football , SDO and repeat!
I'm happy with my LCD Steam Deck, now that I upgraded the storage. What I want to know is whether they stopped gluing the battery down. That's a dumb decision and makes long term maintenance a pain. Have we heard any news on that front?
According to Linus Tech Tips, the battery is NOT glued down as aggressively making it easier to remove.
I have a steam deck but i think im gonna get the oled as well
setting 2077 to scHDR just limits the colors to rec 709, the other setting goes slightly into P3 color space
Now that the 256gb lcd is the same price as what the 64gb used to be i think it would be a good to do an unboxing and review on that to see if anything has changed on it even if it's just the packaging
are you planning to do a dedicated wimlator video for odin 2 ? Just waiting for mine to be shipped. One particular game i would like to ask on this SOC for winlator is spiderman web of shadows.
Can you please make a video demonstrating an OC on the OLED model?
Glad I waited to get a Deck. Love the upgrades, hall effect sticks would've made it perfect for me but can always install them seperately
The normal sticks work perfectly and feel good. Valve said that, ultimately they were not convinced by the longevity of hall effect sticks. If it ain't broke, don't fix it I say
Sticks are not that big of a deal as VRR is imo. The sticks you can change once they start drifting and thats probably going to be in 1 year into gaming. VRR would give you smooth gameplay even with stuttering and dips in the framerate which on an underpowered device like the steam deck is direly needed.
@@MrCoffis I've had my deck well over a year and 0 drift issues. I think not abusing them will make them last almost indefinitely. And I play mine for a couple hours, every day. The one issue I have had is the grey paint rubbing off on to the inner ring of the black plastic shell, where the inside of the stick meets with the case, which caused some minor grinding and friction. I fixed it however with a Qtip and a drop of WD-40 , to clean and lube it back up to smooth operation.
@@donniedarko4497 age, temperature, humidity all play a role into the drift of potentiometers but generally you shouldn’t expect it within the warranty period which usually is 1-2y depending on region. I have PS1 and PS2 controllers with still no drift or at least with no noticeable drift. So it really is a non issue since it will most certainly outlive the lifespan of the deck.
@@donniedarko4497ohhh will you people shut up about VRR?? Having it would be nice but most of the time people want a locked framerate since you can tune how long the battery lasts that way. That would make VRR pointless anyway. VRR really isn’t that useful in a handheld in most cases.
im getting rog ally for the same price as steam deck oled as a black friday sale ,which one would you recommend
i play some fps here and there love triple As but i have my pc for that wanted to experience that new oled screen plus the battery life is awesome. but the price to performance ratio goes to ally.
my rog ally gets 80 fps in forza horizon 5 in 1080p high settings without fsr, steam deck gets 74fps in low 800p with fsr, easy choice
I am debating which handheld to get. Steam deck OLED, ROG Alley, or Legion Go?
Hey ETA you by any chance got your hands on the NVMe ssd for the raspberry pie...i need an installation tutorial
Do you think this has a better display than the ally and legion go despite the lower resolution?
Ended up upgrading and selling my old 512 model.
Hurt the pocket a bit, but its worth for the OLED Screen alone.
@ETAPRIME Hey I hope you can help me with this or anyone else:
How noticeable is input lag on the Oled Steam Deck in your opinion?
Im pretty sensitive about this and heard mixed reports about latency on the original Steam Deck. Like how is the Oled when compared to your desktop PC?
Thanks in advance! Have a great New Year :)
*_8:14_*
*_Why would you not do the same exact test on the LCD model for comparison?_*
😂😂 He's just a salesman not an actual Tech reviewer. people always forget that
Both are Great is up to us which one we want...
For me is OLED
If you’re looking for a pre-configured retro gaming build, I do a nice 1TB plug and play SD card for Umbrella Arcades.
I want you to make a video were you show the steps of adding extra storage to steamos/holoiso. I'm trying to do this on my itx pc with a new 2nd ssd to the 2nd slot but having problem with it.
Can't freaking wait. I never used a oled screen with HDR. Even playing older games will look better with through the oled.
Can it fit in that carry case with a bumper cover on the Deck?
I suspect that valve releases an exclusive LE colorwave for different regions
Really want to upgrade but cant justify dropping another 500+ on basically 6 inch Oled screen. Especially after all the work I put into personalizing my OG deck.
NGL, but bringing that screwdriver up to that beautiful screen gave me anxiety.
man i cant wait for the steamdeck 2
Responding to 1:53. Can someone explain to me why being more efficient does not translate to more performance? Since the steam deck APU is capped at 15W, that means at 15W more efficiency will allow the chip do more work (regardless of RAM speed), right?
TDP is not directly translatable between different chips. 15W TDP OLED Steam Deck pulls less power than 15W TDP LCD Steam Deck as seen in this video. THe new chip runs a little better performance on a little less power. They tried to keep the power usage down to lower heat and increase battery life. I am sure there will be people overclocking theirs and getting a bigger boost in performance.
Canadian dollar is so bad its $689 for the oled steam deck. almost better off getting a second hand lcd. thanks for the video !
Noticed this on a number of your videos but the LCD has a 40Wh battery, not 45Wh. Just saying...the capacity increase is larger than you're making it seem. It's actually a 25% increase in size.
yeah, he hasn't ever figured that out. He got it messed up with the 45W charger I think when he glanced and was writing stuff down one time and he's kept it ever since.
Solid upgrade from my Sega Nomad
can you do comparison with deck hd?
as someone who loves to play indie titles [Tunic, Vampire Survivors, Bloons, Celeste, etc..], the battery and OLED upgrade is already worth it. sadly, my country is not supported for pre-orders, and I'll probably wait for Q1 2024 for it to arrive here.
how long does it take to fullfil the battery? (battery-charge) :D thanks
Is this worth getting if you have a Switch with a big library or Indie games?
After having Steam Deck for a year, I realised that I'm not using it all that much because of poor battery life. I hate when my Deck flashes me with low battery warning in the middle of a game. I also hate playing it plugged in. Deck OLED offers better battery life and better screen. It's no-brainer for me.
@@user-jx6ct9mk8eThe added weight from those battery packs makes a BIG difference to the SD. I feel like I speak for OP here when I say that they'd rather be plugged in.
Rarely got this message because i basically only play tethered. Any time I’ve truly needed to be portable it was only for short bursts here and there. If you’re trying to use it like a ds then yeah, it’s going to be awhile before something so technologically advanced will be able to keep up batterywise
For me the key to using deck plugged in was to get a 90° angle adapter for the power cord.
What are you playing? I usually get like 3-7 hours depending on what I’m playing
Like Chiaro I also only play tethered so battery life isn't important to me. Everything else is but is it £500+ worth of improvements when I've upgraded the SSD to 2TB
I wish it came out in my country.
valve was not joking when they said do not expect a more powerful steamdeck
it only needed a better quality plastic for the chassis imo, something entirely matte finnish like the plastic of a ps3 controller or something carbon like material
I am upgrading just to get rid of the screen bleed!
OLED looks awesome, but I'm waiting for a performance jump before upgrading. Fingers crossed for external GPU capabilities down the line!
Me too, especially after spending hours following guides to set up emulators and third party launchers and configuring to get all my games and mods running, and getting them all to display properly in the steam library. I'm not looking forward to doing all that again.
Good luck. Better buy the asus. I would not hold my breath waiting for such a 180 turn in philosophy from steam. They clearly refuse to participate in another FPS race.
Thanks good.
This race is what got us notebooks that kripple beyond usability when unpluged from power. Thanks. But no thanks.
@@robinsourtoe9416 if I dock it to my TV and get 1080p on a AAA game with decent frame rates with an E-GPU it would be a game changer. I don’t mind current steam deck performance when I’m using it as a handheld.
You still think battery life would be toast when making steam deck compatible with e-GPUs?
@@robinsourtoe9416 it's not about an fps race. They've said they are trying to work with developers to make sure their games come with settings that allow them to work on the steam deck. They want the newest games to play well, and it's just a fact that it's going to require more performance, probably upping the ram from 16 to 24, with a 15-20% more powerful processor. With the new battery, redesigned cooling system, and more power efficient oled display, this will be a reachable target when the next model comes out, likely around a year from now.
See you in a couple years
Streaming performance comparison with steam link app. Is WiFi 6e any better?
How'd you get Skate 3 on the Steam Deck home screen?
hey Eta Prime did u heard about Renegade Project? pls make a video about it.
Glad I skipped the lcd og, just put a order in for the glossy oled, already got a brand new 2tb nvme and 1tb micro sd waiting. Have a massive backlog of older games and this is perfect for it. Newer games I play on my rig
