I wonder if Proton 9 won't have 32 bit libraries anymore thus reducing the size

Quoting: LoudTechieThe first Steamdecks started as 64GB and sold quite smooth

Steam Deck has SD card slot.

Quoting: LoudTechieThanks to Wirth's law that wouldn't be enough anymore, but 128 gigs ROM and 16 gigs RAM should be enough

Don't forget SteamOS long-standing issue with increasing storage consumption due to Proton prefixes, shader caches etc. 128gb is not enough unless you only play small games.

Considering the price it's not that bad and actually is a solid alternative to LCD Deck.

GPU is worse, but everything else is better (well, no trackpads, but again most people wouldn't care).

The only problem is that $299 model is only 128gb and doesn't have SD card slot, which makes it kinda useless unless you plan to replace the SSD.

And of course I'm concerned on how they will support the OS (and if they will in the first place)

Quoting: sonic2kkLinux was a great decision, but this is another handheld that missed the trackpads and handheld ergonomics that Valve have perfected on the Steam Deck.

Steam Deck's trackpads are good, but honestly most people just don't use them (because they don't know how good they are unfortunately). For these people this device can literally be Steam Deck Lite, because it certainly would be smaller in size. I know a few people who liked SteamOS, but don't like the size of Steam Deck. They might be interested in this

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThey might pay Valve to help them with it

I'm pretty sure Valve would be happy to "support" this device by themselves for free. Especially if it sells well.

As HoloISO dev said, TDP values are hardcoded for Steam Deck currently. Even if they take HoloISO or whatever and modify it, they can't modify Steam client itself, which is where all controls are implemented

Quoting: ThibugIf I remember correctly the bug was not present on the Steamdeck

It was. Many people on Steam forums were reporting this.
