My whole point is that the Steam Link app isn't terrible over wifi. Only mentioned I had Fibre because I thought it made a difference on wifi but you were right on that fact. The more you know!

Great info thanks

A gaming laptop what a glorious waste of money

You'll get better performance from a laptop though.

Its not powerful at all.

You're buying this for portable gaming. You should not buy this for any performance expectations at all

Its a low end gaming handled PC, its more comparable to a gaming laptop than a desktop gaming PC

Its not close to a gaming pc in terms of performance.

You're running games like elden ring at low settings

Never thought I'd love my deck as much as I do. You're gonna love it.

Because it’s the whole point of your comment and it’s completely wrong, it could be misguiding other people thinking fiber has anything to do with that.

Its a gaming PC, it just run SteamOs/Linux but you can install Windows 10/11 on it, though it won't be as nice as Steam Os.

Bro, you were the one who pointed out the Fibre, which was a small detail in my suggestion. What's your problem?

Technically yes you can, it's a full gaming PC on handheld format. But please don't pirate games.

At its native resolution you can run basically any game. Might need to be on low settings for the big titles like Cyberpunk if you want to be closer to stable 60.Though many can be run at 30 fps on higher settings. And of course basically everything else runs stable 60. It's quite impressive.

I've never docked it before but sounds like it runs basically the same and at 1080p on tvs/monitors.

You know different types of people do have different size hands, right? Not sure how it's racism to think comfort might play a role.

But hey this is Reddit and everything has to be racist these days right?

I never expect any company to sell stuff in India, the article unfortunately didn't disappoint :(

Well, hey there! Whacha playing?

In case you weren't aware, real human beings with lives and families also work at big studios, so specifying "indie" is pretty pathetic. Support games you enjoy, period. If you're going to pirate, do it but don't pretend you have some moral and just excuse. You don't. You're hurting real people regardless of how many people are employed to work on the game.

Yeah. I saw that same post and hoped for real world info. But I’ll. Heck out the video. Thank you!

Maybe regulatory concerns?

How does this compare to a gaming PC in terms of strictly gaming not other features? Is it like a low end gaming computer when docked?

The Australian government raked valve over the coals due to their (consumer friendly) refund laws, and ever since then valve have not hardware business in Australia (aka valve index and steam deck). So unlikely for it to ever officially come. I guess NZ got caught in the crossfire, as its probably not worth the logistics.

Probably due to partner supplier not having the coverage here...

Hopefully it's sooner so we don't have to parallel import it...

Well... Bias would always be there. But this is like the 1st mass market handheld that you can play PC games on, that's probably the coverage.

quick google says hotas works fine with linux. but you might wanna look into it yourself. but yeah otherwise its a subsidized gaming pc. you should probably watch this video first tho.

they go over the pros and cons. they kinda fail to mention you can just install windows tho so a lot of their complaints are moot. but most people who buy a deck wouldnt do. that so i get it.
