they were pcs built to be like consoles running steam

oh my god I completely forgot about that, s*** came out 6 years ago and I never heard about it since

that’s crazy that they just disappeared lmao

P sure you'll be able to do this on SteamOS as is considering it has a browser and it's just Linux based.

It was underpowered and overpriced as far as I can remember

The controller was also really quirky and different than ps4 and xbox

Yes it was.I always wanted to try that thing out. I think I was gonna order one for my but it got discontinued.

Controllers going for a lot apparently since peoples old ones started dying so they need new ones lol

Heard the build quality on them were cheap af. Like plastic tv remote cheap lol

64gb version should not exist,they should’ve at least did 128gb for the base model

thing is ugly as sin. I'll wait til 2nd or 3rd gen unless its an absolute banger

This looks dope idk if it will appeal to the casual market like the Switch though.

Why tf is it so expensive? Wtf

Compared to the switch it’s a much better value

It’s a handheld that’s why. I don’t even think they are making a profit on this tbh

This sounds so dope.

idk if I would drop $700 on this right now though. Would rather use that for a new PC.

To be fair. At the 400$ price point. This thing might be more powerful than 400$ pc’s easily and it can be used as one

Realized that after lol. This thing is going to be an emulation beast

Video for those interested

The AYA NEO, a much less powerful machine and the same concept can run emulators, even switch games, odyssey at 50-60 fps and Pokémon at 30FPS and above. Can even do BOTW on cemu at a stable 60 (yes 60) fps.

Valve really made a system that can run more Nintendo games than the switch

Can even run ps3 games like skate 3, demons souls, and many JRPG’s

Any anything pre ps3 it can run full speed and even better than the original consoles.

The Steamdeck seems like a gateway into bigger and better things. The OG Xbox sold at a loss back then,this is more ambitious than a console tho.

Can this be docked to the TV or is it just a handheld

Can be docked to a tv VIA any usbc dock. They will also sell an official dock at a later date

Game changer

Actually seems good

Gotta good feeling that if you don’t cop that reservation and pre-order,your gonna have a hard time getting one of these for quite some time.
