They should rename it then! The Steam OS version should be "GPD FTW" ๐
This looks just like the OG PlayStation Portable (PSP). I need this.
I feel the same except it's a lot of money.
This looks like an ideal version of the "SteamDeck Lite" I've dreamt of.
But $850.00 isn't pocket change for me.
It looks like it's trying to be a dual-purpose handheld, a controller with a laptop inside. 32GB of RAM is for running multiple programs simultaneously, and with their special dock connector to get it going with a monitor and other peripherals, I would guess they are targeting people who want to replace their setup with something smaller than a traditional gaming laptop.
Their previous offerings have been laptops with controllers attached, but given the popularity of handhelds, this seems like the logical move for them to stay relevant in the market. It's niche, but it will probably attract some.
Oooh. Yeah. I could justify it as a laptop expense. Heh. Maybe I'll use that as my excuse...
The Steam Deck struggles with games like Cities Skylines because it only has 16 GB RAM. More RAM has never been a bad thing. Especially if you want to future proof your device.
Remove that windows key. Lol
Using mine with Manjaro, hoping the hardware setting stuff comes to linux.
Try ChimeraOS. It's close to a perfect replica of the Steam Deck experience, and works great on my GPD device.
I always thought GPD made some cool little devices. SteamOS seems like a good fit for them
A place to discuss and support all things Steam Deck.
Replacement for r/steamdeck_linux.
