So hyped about this. It’s the main reason I kept on using Firefox and refused to go back to Chrome or any other browser. The experience is too good, to the point I deleted the YT app and just use YT on FF.

I work better at night.

Certified dad right here.

I highly recommend trying Stackoverflow. :)

Professional, but I’m an engineer at heart and simply love all things engineering, including mechanical.

I started with C++ at school. I really liked it, but when it was time for summer I taught myself C# and that’s how I got a job.

I’m currently migrating the backend of our company from relational to non relational DB, and a lot of other goodies.

Command and conquer series. They’re the best RTS games honestly.

Will be nice to go there and not see their office anymore.

I completely agree. The 1080p screen was a negative add. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should, and that’s the design principal of the Steam Deck. Focusing mainly on the best user experience > adding the latest and greatest.

That’s not entirely true. The APU is more efficient, and is on a newer node.

It may not be as efficient, but it’s definitely not the same power usage.

Well, some will want to dock it as well and use it as a computer with a keyboard and mouse. I think that’s a major use.

Not that I know of.

Hey! Glad to see cross posting working! :)

They just did. :)

Agreed, and the competition from steam forced them to release a firmware update to be more efficient.

Define “beat”

Performance numbers alone, yes. It’s a newer CPU on a newer node. Absolutely. The screen is also 120hz, and 1080p.

User experience wise, I don’t think so. Windows 11 is barely functioning for me on a desktop, how is it going to handle on a console device? Rog software has been pretty crappy on desktop too, it’s similar here. The videos I’ve seen show a wonky experience.

Its not all bad, but it isn’t a direct competition. I think the Steam Deck delivers a tailored experience, while this delivers a laptop in a small package.

The Rog software alone. 😂

You’re gonna have to post when you get it, and a review!

Good question, never saw any mentions of a docking station with it.

It’s a good alternative to a laptop.

Personally I use my steam deck as a portable console. For laptops, I opted for a Mac. If someone wants windows, it’s really hard to beat this.

Meh, I don’t care to solve for it personally. No one will see my hours and that’s not a bad thing. 😋
