Trooper, 18 Jul 2021Don't believe everything you read...PS4 Pro has 4,2TF and this barely gives 1,6TF so how can it be the same as PS4 ?

I read somewhere that the performance of Steam Deck is comparable to PS4. If that's true, I wish Sony would also make a handheld PS console that can play all PS4 titles.

In my country, having a good PC for gaming is more expensive than buying Switch plus the game title is more or less the same for PC games and Switch. So, hell yeah. I'll vote for Switch and for Steam Deck. I know it will be expensive than Switch.

Oddly enough, the flexibility of the Steam Deck is what makes it less interesting to me. It really is a regular PC, and as such, its form factor, technical capability and application can be directly compared to other PCs when making a purchasing decision. This device is fairly portable, but not really much more so than a laptop. Neither is going to fit in a pocket. For me, it doesn't really make sense to put $400 into a portable computer that I can really only use for games when for a little more I can buy a regular PC laptop that will serve for work and play and give me access to the same games. The larger screen of the laptop will also be something game devs were planning for. When mobile devices first came out, the web was full of content that didn't work well on them because it was never meant for such small screens. I'm guessing the same will be true for games.

Steam Deck for sure. The switch has its merits and I own one for exclusives but it's just not a PC with all the flexibility that brings.
I am worried people have overly high expectations though. The Steam Deck isn't a powerhouse and it seems a lot of media folk don't know what to compare it to so just say "It's related to a 200W graphics card so it must be awesome!". A better comparison would be an existing APU, something like an AMD 4500U. We've got two fewer CPU cores but the GPU is a little better in pure GFLOPS terms. 30fps gaming at 720p with low settings is about right but you should be ready to sacrifice settings or resolution to achieve 30fps heavy titles. That's fine, a game running at acceptable speed is enjoyable even if the settings are low.

Ummm, does the Nintendo Switch run on Windows or Linux?? Because Valve's Steam Dock does!
Its like comparing an old school Nokia feature phone with the latest Android or iPhone. The difference is HUGE!
I vote for Steam Dock 100% in the portable/handheld devices.

Maybe Second gen product with 7 inch 1080P OLED small factor by removing thick bezels around the border and ultra power Qualcomm Nuvia SoC or Exynos AMD chip.

Nintendo Switch game catalogue doesn't really impress me much except for some Pokemon and Persona games, so Valve Steam Deck for me all the way.

Steam no physical games so no gaming offline/temporary ownership with an old 2nd ryzen cpu that is gonna bottleneck the RDNA2 in the longrun, especially cpu demanding games on low-res. Not only that its overpriced to boot with the cheapest even more expensive than an xbox series s with garb slow 64gb emmc instead of a ufs 2.1.

I wouldn't trade a Switch for Valve in 1 million years. Not to mention that it is super expensive and comes with a low quality screen, very ugly and bulky design. I bet that after 40 minutes of gaming, your hands will feel very tired. You can port it on a bigger screen but then what's the point of paying so much for a portable console in the first place ? In my country Steam barely makes big discounts like in other countries and this is another huge downside for me. In conclusion, for me, this console is a huge waste of money. I will buy a PS5 when I will have the chance and play on my Switch.
