Reminds me of the quick and dirty tablets they all made right after the ipad

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago

Yeah. These are going to be abandoned after two years.

No trackpad, no interest

[–] dooder10@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Agreed! Also, no back buttons which I think is another huge miss.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

It will need to be cheap af if they have any sales. No Trackpad no back buttons nothing special

Is it named this because it overheats and burns your hands?

The steamdeck is such a nice name compared to Asus rog ally x or acer nitro blaze 7.

The market‘s gotta be nearing saturation with all the competition, no? And XBOX is rumored to wanna jump into it too…

I am tempted to compare the market of handheld PC to this of Single Board Computers.

You have on one hand the Raspberry Pi and steamdeck: first successful on a niche market, develop the hardware and the software to deliver a complete experience, open and hackable.

On the other hand, you have all the followers, throwing out some random imitations, with better spec. sheets, but no Software support, or just the bare minimum and ultimately the experience offered isn't a match.

How are they hoping to compete with the steamdeck if none of them put in the effort to develop a complete and functional user experience? Acer and Asus with collect the scraps and nothing more.

Asymmetrical sticks

Again! Why? When will they learn?

what's wrong with it?

These devices are heavy, having your thumb down make it harder to hold, I guess

[–] nikstarling@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

And yet another portable console with a 1080p display...When will they learn?
