I'm amazed at Linus' ability to make Linux crash whenever he's in the same room as a computer with it.
-
Linus have my children
-
To be fair, you can use any docking method, not just the official one. You can just get a cheap dongle and it'd work.
-
wow $110 for a 1070 is a great deal. glad to see they finally came down. i was considering selling my 1070 ages ago when they were selling for 500ish as i paid 300 canadian for mine a few months after the cards were released. I dont play games as much anymore but i would have been stuck on my old 680 for who knows how long
-
I always like looking at the date on the windows desktop during their videos. Gives me an idea for their turnaround time and insight into the current events during filming.
-
With how good it is for a first gen product, I'm really excited to see what the next iteration of the steam deck will be.
-
You should make a build that matches the steam deck on performance and see what price you get.
-
A $250 backpack and you're saying that steam is steep 🤣
-
The Steam Deck really is an impressive piece of engineering
-
I bought the $399 version and put an SSD in there for $30 myself. WINNING!
-
I know this video is 5 months old, but I was able to use the steam deck for my full workstation. I used VSCode, Git, all the other tools. Also, I output to 2x 49” 5120x1440 monitors, performance was still good. Valve released updates to both the steam deck and the dock all the time and within the past 5 months, other than the bug that I reported on the HDMI output has an overlay issue at 3840 line when DP is plugged in, many issues were fixed and even ran so much better than before.
-
to be honest, the best part of the steam deck is its little bonuses that come with gaming mode. the fact that you can just put it on sleep mode and then turn it on and be right where you left off is incredible. you can also play multiple games at the same time. you can access anything while on gaming mode. and its got plug in loaders like steam decky to further upgrade your experience on the deck.
-
It is nice seeing both of my daily drivers (Steam Deck and GTX 1070) go head to head against each other here.
-
As somebody that games on Deck on his daily commute I can concur that it is a great device to game on in public transit.
-
F1 2022 is actually working great on the Deck now, I've been playing it and it's pretty cool playing on the Deck, I actually had the game already set aside on Playstation after only a few hours of play, but on PC and on the Steam Deck the game seems better to play. I also really like having the option to switch between the desktop and the Deck
-
The deck is one of the best purchases I ever made. It's been a year and I can't get over how awesome it feels and how well it plays... well... everything. From desktop, to console games. I even use it more often than my switch to play switch games. I also tripple boot with ubuntu and windows included just for shits and giggles. With 1TB storage there are no limits.
-
the 1070 is such a fantastic little card. It will be one of those immortal cards that just keeps giving.Really the 1070 and 1080 are just superb
-
I'm honestly most impressed by the laptop. Finding an actual gaming laptop with a 1660 at 500 is unexpected
-
I’ve had my deck for almost a week now and love it so far. Honestly have not done much modern day gaming but I’ve been doing a lot of portable GameCube and some 360 emulation and been great
-
Meanwhile, Valve: we built a handheld gaming PC for less than the price of most desktops and laptops
