At which point you're making your phone almost as large as a Switch/Steam Deck anyway, and you still have access to very few games aside from emulation.@Xzi you do know that there are option like the raizer kaishi or ganesir attachment which negate your logic of touch screen controls.
1080p would be pointless on a seven inch screen, not to mention drain the battery much faster. Why do you think Switch and every other portable PC uses a 720p screen? And since you can't seem to do basic math yourself: minimal workloads like indie games will last 8 hours on Steam Deck, just as advertised.With a subpar screen and subpar battery life you can enjoy your portable steam deck. Barf..
Good for you. However, just because you broke the bank on a much more expensive and much less portable gaming PC, that doesn't mean you need to talk shit about a device that's clearly got a great price-to-performance ratio and several unique features.For pc gaming I have my ge76 raider 3080 rtx laptop.
'd like to throw this out there. there's only one portable/handheld pc that uses 2,5K resolutioon iunstead of 720p, the One XPlayer. it looks so beautiful on a 8,4 inch screenAt which point you're making your phone almost as large as a Switch/Steam Deck anyway, and you still have access to very few games aside from emulation.

The fuck are you smoking, man? You've never even touched the Steam Deck, let alone had time to drain its battery fully. This is purely the sunk cost fallacy speaking.@Xzi
I am not talking shit but stating facts which you are ignoring just because......
Subpar battery life is fact, subpar battery is fact, portability is defeated instantly with battery life and yes people will lug around a powerbank for this.
The steam deck is flawed and calling it out is the right thing to do.

Do you own one? I'd be interested to hear how much play time AAA games provide at native resolution on that...it says 10 hours but only for video playback, on a 59 Watt-hour battery. If we do some napkin math and assume it draws 2.5x as much power as Steam Deck at max load (it may be even more than that, they don't disclose), we're looking at about an hour and fifteen minutes. Easiest way to extend that of course being turning down the resolution.I'd like to throw this out there. there's only one portable/handheld pc that uses 2,5K resolutioon iunstead of 720p, the One XPlayer. it looks so beautiful on a 8,4 inch screen
mine will arrive by the 20th this month. I have been following a lot of videos on youtube with this device. most say that 2.5K resolution gets you about 1-2 hours of gaming at 30fps. but they also say that 1280x800 and 1920x1080p are perfect for gaming at medium to high settings in most games. I only bought one because I wanted a bigger screen than the gpd win 3 and the aya neo.Do you own one?

Anybody can afford crack.Clearly I am smoking something which you can't afford.
It'll have better battery life than your laptop that cost ten times as much...deal with it.And yes the steam deck battery will suck.. deal with it.
@Xzi
Cringe for you, does not mean cringe for others. I know you are upset when people write abt devices you can't afford.
Youse a cringe boi@Xzi
Crack is cheap, so you can afford it.
Comparing a rtx 3080 laptop with supposed portable device.. yeah right.. you are smoking crack and it's cheap, so are you. Lol
@DKB
Yeah I understand you can't afford a laptop with rtx 3080.. lol..
Yeah that's what I just said...everybody can afford it. That doesn't mean it's a good idea for you to keep smoking it.Crack is cheap, so you can afford it.
I was pulling my punches before, but the truth of the matter is that buying a laptop with an RTX 3080 is idiotic. Not only because the price is astronomical, but also because it'll throttle the hell out of itself to keep from bursting into flames. Making a good portable PC/laptop is a balancing act between thermals, power draw, and performance. You're probably lucky to get thirty minutes of battery life at max draw, which means playing AAA games on the go is a lost cause.Comparing a rtx 3080 laptop with supposed portable device..
