Rule number one when buying tech is your always get ripped off. There is always a better deal two weeks from now. You just have to get a feeling when timing is good enough for what you want.

Small tips: Look at the gpu. Also make sure the laptop have unused slots for ram so you can upgrade down the road if needed. Placement of fans/airflow matters.

There are people for everything. But this group ain't big. Being a handheld also means staring into the shifting lights. Like facerolling your keyboard instead of looking at the screen.

I agree in theory. But most of us won't do that because we aren't familiar reusing things in this way. As in, it won't be reused. Not because it's hard, only because we won't be arsed to. And it's sad.

Wait. Why? Everything I've tried works well. Maybe I haven't tried enough games?

[-] hogart@feddit.nu 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah we need to become better to calm ourselves on new game releases and ask ourselves if it's for me. Hype only serves publishers, hence they are so good at creating it.

They are both third person games where you kill stuff! But about as similar as Mario and Kirby, also both made by the same developer :)

A 1tb Steam Deck-sized NVMe drive is about 120 bucks right now. Not cheap. But not insanely prices either.

How much more fps do you see on the ROG Ally with the unit not blasting the fans and having 30 min battery? Curious for real.

[-] hogart@feddit.nu 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah but. Yeah, sure :) If you specifically say you run Linux I don't think oh he is running Android :) Sorri!

You get used to having a long drive to work as well. But who wants to get used to that if you don't have to. Same reasoning applies here. SteamOS is so, so good. Why would I want to switch to something with performance leaks? To play competitive FPS games on my handheld? That's not why I have one (plus I could get windows on an external sd if I really wanted to).

I'm close to making a full on swap from windows to Linux. I just need to research in home game streaming first since I often sit on my laptop downstairs playing a game that runs on my gaming pc through Parsec.
