A laptop and a portable gaming handheld are two different classes of devices. The form factors alone are enough to make a laptop not a great portable gaming handheld.
That’s true. Or depending on what I want to play, lots of even cheaper systems. Although the Steam Deck is JUST powerful enough for everything I want to play.
Edit: Also I use the shit out of steam play streaming to TVs and things
Which I’m playing on my Steam Deck! Which starts at only…wait, 750 dollars?!?
Edit: $790
Crazy to think the base lcd model was like $350 only 2-3 years ago. I know it’s not valves fault but that is a huge jump in price.
Bought it when it came out 419€. I dont see myself paying twice the price today.
Or you could get an AYN Thor for 350$ + 30$ shipping and a wait time of 3 months
Or you could buy a miyoo mini plus and get it within a week for like $50.
That’s what I did and I play all my retro games on it, I even prefer it over my steam deck for retro gaming.
Or you could download an emulator and play on a 10 year old laptop on a big screen tv.
I can’t get over how great ps2 emulation is
PS3 is decent but half the games I wanna play aren’t ready yet, the ones that are done are great though
Given how fast AI recompiles are coming out just wait a week or two.
Yeah, that’s definitely directly comparable to a portable device like a Steam Deck or AYN Thor.
About as comparable as the AYN Thor (Android phone with weird form factor) is to Steam Deck (PC with weird form factor).
Are you unfamiliar with the concept of portability? Or do you carry a television everywhere that you go?
Laptops are portable. I think the point of the TV was that the formfactor and weight of the system aren’t a big issue when docked.

I think you can put SteamOS on those badboys now too, so you can say goodbye to shitty Android launchers
