Awhile the Deck's peak performance isn't for me
Ai am envious of how it can achieve insane battery life
Jignoring that there are genuinely better handhelds out there
Acompared to the competition
Jignoring the deck oled
Ai will be happy when a 8850u with the deck oled battery life will come out
Jthats gonna take 2-3 battery breakthroughs
Aotherwise, laptop
Jand lets be real now, most people are too scared to even take these expensive devices outside
Jbattery life is a big concern but performance is definitely more important even if its slightly
Ano?
Alol, i disagree there
Aits a handheld, battery life is the main thing
Abattery anxiety on the alternative handhelds is a real thing
Adeck is way better in that department
Aand odin 2
MI brought my Ally with me to so many different countries and it is very very bad for travel if you’re not tethered
Jbut its worse in like every other department
A?
Jbest android handheld ez
Abetter screen
A?
Abetter battery
Abetter available inputs
Joled doesn't make it better
Jits still 800p with a 90hz panel
Jsure you can overclock the LE one to 120hz
Jbut not everyone has the one with a matte screen
Adude, it can emulate up to totk, where is worse
Jtotk on the deck is unplayable don't even get me started
J25FPS barely with minimal settings is unplayable
Aits playable if you dont use the latest update
Aall i'll say here is that we agree to disagree.
While I do think that alternative handhelds have merit, they also don't invalidate the Deck.

Jeven with the base version of the game and mods to enhance performance you can barely get an inconsistent 25-30FPS with stutters
ADeck has it's strengths
Aalternatives have their own
Aas well as weaknesses
JI think the MSI claw will basically be an improved rog ally
A
i think the claw will be a flopJbetter battery life with equal or most likely better performance at the very minimum
KI don't think it will be out of the box, Intel drivers have a lot of work to do to be competitive on Windows
KDefinitely going to be a handheld better suited to Linux
Jlinux on it is something I'm really interested in
Aintel drivers arc are rough on both windows and linux, no? do arc drivers on linux support d3d12 yet?
Aindigo, i would like to remind you that we had this conversation before on the steam deck server, i have been dealing with this thing for 9 months, totk is playable with only one yuzu ea version, you cant keep being in denial when i have done more troubleshooting than you
AKyle knows too
ACrush knows too
Jif somewhat stable 30FPS is something you could live with yeah
Jbut the game is still a lot better on other handhelds
Awe live in a world where people use the switch...
