ASUS announces their own handheld pc

[Ciggavelli]

It’s windows.

I got a steam deck on order right now.

Ima cancel or send that shyt back if this is 1k or less

I just put a steam deck on order too. I have an ASUS mobo in my gaming pc. They are pricy, but high quality. I'm sure their handheld will be nice, but I'm not really looking to play demanding games on a handheld. I bought the Steam Deck for all those indies that are easy to run, last gen games, and emulation. The price point on the Steam deck is great though. I'm thinking the ASUS handheld will be over $1K, but who knows

Are these truly pcs that can be used for non-gaming purposes?

 

[Tunez]

whose paying all that for a handheld

steam deck is the perfect price point

I'm saying price will be lower than $1000 because of the custom AMD chip

 

[Leasy]

they announced this on April Fools and everyone thought it was a joke

the big question is the price. these handheld computers have been around for a minute, but they're usually $1000+. Steam Deck has been so successful because it's reasonably priced

Add to Steam already having that massive following. This shyt just a portable PC build no identity.

im leaning towards it being $700. They know that if they price it any higher , its dead on arrival.

Its dead no matter what lol even at 500, which it won’t be.

There’s no room in the portable space for another handheld. Steamdeck suits the needs of pc players/enthusiasts and nintendo covers the casual market at 150-350

You can boot the steam deck into windows, so consider that if this ends up being more expensive.

I was reading about that and from what i gathered it’s not an ideal experience with drivers and support things like that.

You got any experience using windows with the steam deck?

If i can just use it like a PC that would be amazing.

If it can house EpicGames, I'm wit it. I been able to get so much shyt on my Asus ROG laptop with just EpicGames and Steam (which I barely use). From God of War, to Miles Morales etc.

unfortunately no, I do not. I do all of my windows gaming on desktop.

odd that it doesnt work well, as duel booting is pretty seamless between intel Macs and Dell Ubuntu machines. wonder whats wrong with the steam deck? computers half its power have no problems duel booting

I do have friends that duel boot into windows on the deck for Halo since unfortunately it doesnt have easy anti cheat support on steam OS. its been fine for them

The drivers for windows are trash

I think they have a chance to get sales. They will need to find a way to get gamepass to work natively on it

gamepass access would add a good chunk of appeal for sure. on the go games without worrying about connections for streaming.
