  surprisingly not most of the time I checked.

  Laptop/Mobile x86 seemed rather competetive to Laptop/Mobile ARM in performance/Watt

  Unless they change CPU architectures.

  well. there’s already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
  Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

  A CPU architecture change wouldn’t be a deathblow.

  Also the price scales wayyyy better. Steam Deck starts at 313,65€ now.

  if you have less money, buy that, get an sd card, and if you enjoy it put an ssd in later.

  I have to say this is extremely encouraging.
  I didn’t think that the steamdeck would have the raw performance. But it seems to me that it does, but the emulator is lacking optimization (understandably for such an early stage)

  My experience with Cyberpunk was that the Steam Deck preset was a good starting point, but wasn’t actually an ideal way to play the game.

  that is also propably subjective and may even depend on the deck you have, and in which areas the silicon lottery was good or bad to you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I preferred it because (as i understood) 8bitdo could only connect in xInput mode with a 2.4Ghz dongle, and in switch pro mode with bluetooth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  switch pro seems to have issues.
  I like xBox (removable batteries, good controller) and kingkong 2 pro (can connect to other consolwa, has accelerometer) and have both

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If iFixit starts selling steam motherboards, can you buy just a motherboard and make a console-only steamdeck?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  An RX 6600 paired with a Ryzen 5600 would blow the Deck out of the water (3-4x depending on the measurement) for a very similar cost to a mid-range Deck.

  those two parts are 330€ new for me right now.
  I’d still need:
  a Mainboard, AM4 starts at 50€
  RAM, 16GB for ~25€
  Power Supply, 20-50€
  ssd 10-30€

  starting at 435€
  Actually, that seems reasonably competetive with the 64gb version (420€), depending on the other parts you choose (I’d not want to completely cheap out on Power Supply or Storage, so give that ~20€ more each).

  I’m surprised to be honest. Nice.
