Steam Deck - SteamOS, Zen2 4C/8T, RDNA2 1.0-1.6 TF, 16 GB LPDDR5 88 GB/s, starting at $399 [2021-12]

yea but i already expected that , how else can a user install the os they want.

 

I mean, it's a PC.
A pretty generic AMD Ryzen Mobile PC at that.
They're pretty upfront about that too.
Did someone expect anything else?

The real questions are how's the DT session be mashing with Gamescope and what do they use for sound (Pipewire?) etc etc.

 

I wonder how fast it will post, are they using coreboot?

 

I wonder if FDE will be set by default. I don't like the possibility that someone can easily get all my files if I loose the device

 

game files do you mean?

Some people want to go further than expected.

 

The vr stuff will be redundant next year with what valve is working on

 

Well, I would like to use Deck as a PC also, most likely as a laptop replacement

 

A dev did an unboxing of the dev kit and gives performance info on it

 

Looks good

 

I'm having my first flight tonight after being grounded for 2 years.

Goddam how I wish I already had one of these with me.

 

You must have really pissed off your parents!

 

They created a friggin' pandemic just to keep their late 30s son from leaving his own house!

 

have a good trip ToTTenTranz, see you here again when you get back. My sister is travelling today, to Poland, with her bf.

 

can it run Crysis¿

 

More importantly, can it emulate a Switch running Crysis?

 

Yes and Yes

 

How to replace SSD/Thumb sticks:

 

TL;DW: It's really a bad idea to change the M.2 SSD. Especially while the device's availability is scarce and people will need to wait around a year to get a replacement.

 

Was coming here to post it. It doesn't look that bad in all honesty @ToTTenTranz . It seems like a similar amount of work to fixing a joy con lol. I am glad I have a 256 gig coming a that should make me happy for a very long time.

 

Is it?
2230 drives are not that frequent outside of OEM lands but sourcing say, a Kioxia drive ain't anything too hard.
