Quoting: slaapliedjeThese days we have powerful NUC-likes that are small enough to stick under a TV.

Yep! But Valve can sell them much cheaper and support one set of hardware with SteamOS, instead of as many hardware config as there are mini NUC systems. I don't think Valve wants to support all the PC configurations available anymore.

This said, PS5 are Oberron (7nm) and Oberron+ (6nm) Van Gogh apus. A Deckard console with that kind of spec at a similar price would be an unbelievable value offering, imo... Where is my wallet?

Edit: And there is more to it than just a console. From the leaks, Valve would custom taylor this console to enhance the VR headset support with wireless support (VR Link). Some infos seem to point to something similar to a Snapdragon XR2 Chipset that could analyze and relay motion informations to the main cpu (similar to the overpriced Apple VR headset). Sorry paraphrasing SadlyItsBradley.

Right, if you had quoted the rest of my post, that's what I said. One standard system matching the Steam Deck as a box that sits under the TV. Have the portable and not portable versions, a controller for the not portable system have all the features of the Steam Deck. Also, I think they should call it a Steam Block. Just a suggestion... :P

Ok. Sorry. I misinterpreted what you meant by that phrase, in this case.

Steam Block or Deckard Pal? Wasn't there a mention of Pal, somewhere in leaks, some time ago?

I'm going to get it for sure. HZD is a really great game and I was looking forward to Horizon Forbidden West. It figures in my top best games with Witcher 3, CP2077 and God of War... Spiderman not far behind.

Edit: ... With the late Lance Reddick... Liked him a lot in Fringe.

Gyro with Stick is pretty confusing. I always tend to do both and it ends up doing nothing good. Gyro with trackpad is much better, because I don't have the reflexe to move my finger on the trackpad, while using the gyro. In that case, it's only Gyro and it works great.

This said, using the Gyro on the Steam Deck means that you are moving the screen... Sometimes it gets at weird viewing angles... It's much better suited for a standard controller, like the Steam Controller, imo.

we're not really seeing growth stop after COVID, so for us it's really important to keep working on the current version of the Steam Deck, put together software updates we just released a big SteamOS 3.5 update that's added new features we're going to keep doing that...

Are they talking about Steam as a whole or the Steam Deck sales figures? The first is great, but the latter would be awesome news.

Hahaha! What's the next step? The managment will be sent away on a golden parachute and Unity will be sold to a new group to start on a "clean slate"? The whole thing smells of a quick buck and sabotage looking for an exit door, from the upper management.

Fixed an issue where certain workloads would exhibit severe CPU performance issues unless SMT was manually disabled.

Oh! Hope this will help with Dolphin emulator!

Quoting: LoftyIve seen a lot of new Windows handhelds recently with better specs, but they always fail in certain ways that the steam deck does not.

worse value
worse ergonomics
worse audio
worse controls
worse software
worse drivers
worse configuration
worse updates
worse battery life
worse Windows

Competition is good, but so far i haven't seen a decent enough handheld that can compete. Not even the ROG ALLY is close even though it does beat the steam deck on screen, performance the rest is not as good.

So id say ignore the Youtube click bait about that latest super duper windows 10" Ryzen Z1 handheld that cost $1000 and just get a steam deck.

Usually better when docked. If you want to use a handheld as a handheld (what a weird idea), stick to the Steam Deck, else you'll get worse battery for similar performances. All of that 400$+ more expensive.
