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

Don't valve release 3D models of all their parts to make it easier to swap them out/make your own?

[-] sleepyTonia@programming.dev 16 points 1 year ago

Wait, does that mean we can start looking at HDR displays for regular Linux desktops in a near future?

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 9 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] sleepyTonia@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Does no one else really want multiple USB ports?

[-] atmur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Iโ€™ve seen a few people wanting another usb-c port. It would be neat, but personally as long as they keep the headphone jack, Iโ€™m 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!

[-] BautAufWasEuchAufbaut 6 points 1 year ago

Me too but I had a lot of fun the past few months ๐Ÿ’

[-] jpeps@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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) ๐Ÿ˜”

[-] orthen@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Cool! Though I'm wondering that they didn't update the APU from Zen2+RDNA2 to Zen4-RDNA3.

[-] Byter@lemmy.one 16 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

Component cost, engineering cost, and it would change the performance target which could cause some devs to leave the old one behind

[-] Vash63@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] cpw@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I have the original 512. I'm going to have that custom shell. I am a sucker for consumption.. I must consume..

[-] ulu_mulu@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Nice! I was thinking about buying a deck, I'll wait for the new one, thanks for the news!
