256GB ought to be enough for anyone!
I run most of my games off an SD card and it’s been fine.
(It seems people have not heard of the Bill Gates 640KB quote and/or my delivery is off)
As a secondary device to play games besides my big PC, yes. But lot of people have no other PC and the Steam Deck is the only device. Given that some games come at 100gb install size, and people want to install multiple games, 256gb can be low. I use internal space for Steam games and all stuff, and have an 512gb external card just for emulators and Roms.
Hence me saying games run fine off an SD card after a reference to a quote falsely attributed to Bill Gates 😁
I highly doubt there are many people that only have a Steam Deck and not a gaming PC.
Steam deck is my only device. I have the 512 oled and am very happy with it. I know other people for whom it’s their only device, I don’t think it’s uncommon. Obviously we have phones, but either don’t need a computer or use one at work and don’t want one at home. Plus the steam deck is a linux computer in a pinch.
How good is the Oled? I’m bouncing between shelling out for it over the lcd.
Honestly, I don’t think there’s much difference. My mate has an LCD, deck, we’ve put them next to each other and they’re both good. Maybe the oled is a bit better in bright rooms. If price is an issue I think you’ll be fine with the LCD.
Only for the price of 32GB RAM.
I wish the steam deck was a tablet with detachable controllers. It would open up the door to more sales.
Sooo, a Switch?
It is? It has a touchscreen and supports Bluetooth peripherals. What portion of sales does that not include?
If I don’t game why would I buy a pc tablet with permanent controllers attached?
If you don’t game why are you interested in a gaming first device? It’s like ordering burger but substituting the beef for chicken because you don’t eat beef, order the chicken sandwich!
Holy shit dude… There are not other products at that price point built for linux with the specs of the deck that are in tablet form. What dont you people understand about that. Holy fuck. That’s a perfectly fine reason for me to think of the deck as tablet and thinking of diy ways to make it a tablet by removing the controller aspect… Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ yourself… I’m sure it’s a fine device that can be used for a lot of different thing but it’s not meant nor maketed as anything but a gaming device so why bitch about it’s gaming features being in the way of the other things you may want it for. That would be like taking a pick-up instead of a car then bitching that it had a truck bed in the back that you didn’t need to use.
It does not make a good tablet. If you’ve ever used one you’d immediately know that it’s for gaming.
Idk why would you?
This makes no sense. Why are you even in this topic?
It would make a great Linux tablet for the price…
Is there any other Linux based tablet with those specs?
im surprised no one has released a controlerless shell for diy conversion.
