That thumbnail has a Deck with a clear plastic shell piece. Please let this be another era of clear plastic electronics. GBA purple would be welcomed.
Limited edition that's only available in US & Canada with limited stock
booooo
Don't valve release 3D models of all their parts to make it easier to swap them out/make your own?
Wait, does that mean we can start looking at HDR displays for regular Linux desktops in a near future?
Yes, Valve started working on that about a year ago or so. I think it's already available in the current Steam Deck software for external monitors. Valve's involvement has been great for Linux.
Sheesh~ This kind of makes me dream of seeing a future Steam Deck (Or other Valve console) powerful enough to handle most VR games if they're going to keep on giving the Linux ecosystem a push for whatever features are important to them.
They literally fixed every problem I had with the Deck and more.
Really tempted to sell mine and upgrade.
Does no one else really want multiple USB ports?
Iโve seen a few people wanting another usb-c port. It would be neat, but personally as long as they keep the headphone jack, Iโm happy with the one port. I just want to charge and listen to stuff at the same time, which I can do on the Deck unlike most modern phones.
Happy for everyone else but I just got mine like a year ago! Fuckity fuck fuck!
Me too but I had a lot of fun the past few months ๐
Yeah same here, I've only had mine a few months but I'm having a blast with it and don't see why that has to change just because there's something a bit nicer out there.
If only I could even get the original in my country (New Zealand) ๐
Cool! Though I'm wondering that they didn't update the APU from Zen2+RDNA2 to Zen4-RDNA3.
They have said they want to keep a fairly long-term performance target for game devs optimizing for the device. Consoles do the same thing. Another part of that is improving margins over time.
Component cost, engineering cost, and it would change the performance target which could cause some devs to leave the old one behind
None of the currently available RDNA3 APUs are good within their 5-15W target. They could custom design a smaller one but that would increase costs a lot and the perf benefits aren't that big when still limited by LPDDR5
I have the original 512. I'm going to have that custom shell. I am a sucker for consumption.. I must consume..
Nice! I was thinking about buying a deck, I'll wait for the new one, thanks for the news!
