Review on Game console Valve Steam Deck 512 GB SSD, black by Stanisaw Lipowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

A really good "overlay" that displays the FPS, resource usage (% CPU, % GPU), and power consumption may optionally be enabled. It's amusing to observe how older games that once "ate" a 200-300W power supply consume, for instance, only 8W. Heats up quite slowly, and the fan is relatively quiet. has various benefits: All available control methods for a mini PC, except the keyboard and mouse - Would you like to utilize your trackpad as a mouse? They come in pairs. Want to click on the screen to accelerate hover? Touchscreen. Want to use a gamepad to "navigate"? here he is, too. Please let me personalize everything "for myself" in each particular game. You can execute nearly anything with third-party software, such as Wine, Lutris "package" builders, and Flatpak. If necessary, both "ready-made assemblies" and manually. HOMM3 HD launched with a bang, despite not being on Steam. There are now (traditional) online games available that aren't distributed through Steam. Civilization IV runs without any issues despite being "supposedly unsupported by Steam Deck". NES, SNES, and SEGA emulators run on DOSBox. - A powerful CPU (at first glance, I didn't play The Witcher since it doesn't make sense to me to play high-tech games on such a little screen), but in reality, the toys function VERY well using Wine or Proton. Even better are those that have a "native" SteamOS/Linux version on Steam. - 16GB of memory. That's fantastic in a time when even "semi-gaming" laptops can fit in 8GB. Cons: - Games that are not natively compatible with SteamDeck have an extremely odd on-screen keyboard. - some sort of "broken" distribution kit was included. The return icon from Linux to the "game" interface was absent. "Rollback to factory settings" was saved. - A slightly odd screen. Evidently, it's affordable. The resolution might not appeal to some fastidious folks. The resolution is appropriate for gaming and such hardware (to prevent lag). People who require 4K or 8K on a micromobile (for what reason is unknown) won't be happy.
