Vthe steam deck already emulates lots of switch games (and some ps3 games) well and perfectly handles anything under that. the z1e/7840u is a stronger cpu than what the steam deck has, and will be even stronger in emulation
Vthe only thing to watch out with the ally is that the device has a hardware design flaw with the sd card reader and controller that hasn't and likely can't be fixed until they come out with a sequel
Mfair enough. What could be realistic? 1-2 hours? or less?
Adepends on how smooth you want your switch games to be
A30fps youre looking at 2 to 2 and a half hours
Ggot 2hrs tops on cemu botw
A60fps an hour or so
Mi see
Ashould say 20-30fps
Malrighty
Vgamers nexus has done a lot of extensive battery life and framerate testing of the various handhelds, as well as some other outlets
Aye but win
Mooh noted will check that out then
Aseems like ayn odin which is android does 20 hours
Moh i see, what kinda hardware flaw is that? does it often break or?
Aim like come on
Asd card fails, trigger and joystick calibration are all over the place
Vit kills sd cards and iric, the controller itself overheats and dies
Garm power efficiency is ridiculous 
Ti dont think it's that much of a difference with bazzite vs. windows in battery life but i don't own the handhelds so maybe im wrong
Awhen you want battery life there is
Awhen you dont theres not
Moh damn
Abut battery life youre either looking at the steam deck or an android handheld
GI just added a 2tb 2230 so I don't have to worry about SD cards
Glol
Gbut yeah, battery life could be better, even on linux
Athe legion go does a solid 4 hours with light games
Aa bit more
V....i have a 2tb ssd card in my deck, three 1tb sd cards, and a portable 2tb samsung t7 ssd
Aswitch around 3
Ait can go up to 5 if the game uses nothing
Gthat's low
Abetter than the ally
Vthe rog ally and lenovo legion go have comparable performance and are both readily available. some advantages and disadvantages to each
Gwell yes, but low considering it's an arm device
Abut thats only due to a bigger battery
Aoh no i mean playing switch
Aswitch can do a lot more
Vgpd and onexplayer have some nice handhelds with nice features (and oculink) but the cost increase difference isn't nessessarly worth it lmao
Gohhhhh
Gok ok
Aswitch oled i read uses 6-8w
Aon heavy games
G
Athey claim 4.5 to 9 hours for the oled
Gcan't compete with that
Asteam deck oled can almost
Vi throw my deck down to 3-7 apu tdp when playing visual novels or emulating low powered stuff and get like 6 hours of battery life. if i had an oled it would be even better.
Ayeah that drops the consumption to around 8w on the steam deck
