Don't know why I didnt just search for other previews, duh.

Well Russ from Retro Gaming Tech has one on the way.
He will be going indepth with emulation on the device. I highly recommend his channel since his guides helped me configure my devices.

Valve counting the money. Gabe will have ample cash to heat up the house this winter.

I wish I could adjust my order from the mid range to the high end just for the glass difference.

Can someone elaborate why do youtube personalities make these 4 year old faces with all their videos and why do they even show themselves in the video?

Can't wait for this. Having an instant library will be amazing.

So in DOOM Eternal it looks like it can do 1280x800/60fps at "almost all medium" settings(motion blur disabled), dynamic res disabled.

-58 vs 37 fps on Aya Neo at same spot (Doom Eternal @ native res w/ medium settings)
-Quad channel memory (awesome)
-Hook it up to an external monitor & you can simply use it as a PC (as expected)
-Able use it as a secondary monitor
-Etched glass model (512GB) highly reduces glare from lower end models (also using glass)

I imagine you can get anti-glare screen protectors for it.

Good, I found the Switch to be horribly uncomfortable, like it was built for tiny Asian and kids and Asian kids hands! Also the Deck has normal sized analogue thumb sticks and buttons (not oompah loompah ones) and a proper d-pad. I 'm also excited about the Haptic touch pads, many are underestimating what they can bring I think. The Switch is great, don't me wrong, but it's not made for me.

It's for the Youtube Algorithm. People tend to click more on those videos with those thumbnails.

Batery seems to be very weak... 90 minutes and already drops to below 30% from GiantBomb.
Edit - Verge says 90 minutes on The Witcher 3 and the battery was gone.
It is a test unit yet so I believe battery will be better in final version as Valve said 2-8 hours of gameplay.

From https://youtu.be/SElZABp5M3U?t=599
Deck's 58 fps (about 1.6 TFLOPS, 88 GB/s memory bandwidth) vs ~38 fps (Aya-Neo's Vega 6's 1.15 TFLOPS, 35 GB/s bandwidth via dual-channel LPDDR4X-4266).
It seems 1.6 TFLOPS RDNA 2 = ~2 TFLOPS VEGA GCN e.g. Ryzen 7 4980U or Ryzen 7 5800U.
$399-to $649 Deck delivered comparable iGPU like high-end ultrabook's IGP with revised 7nm based RX Vega 8 at 1.95 Ghz to 2 Ghz. Deck's CPU is like Ryzen 3 PRO 4450U class.

The 64GB and 256GB models come with glass, too? Now I see no reason for the 512GB model.

I still can't help but feel a slim Ultrabook and a gamepad would he a more elegant solution than this is. The thing is huge. My new laptop is pretty portable compared to this and does everything and even is like a Wacom too

RDNA 2 iGPU may need 4 nm process node improvement as per Samsung's incoming S22 SoC.
Rembrandt APU is on 6 nm process node which improves upon Deck's Van Gogh APU's 7 nm process node.

Not good for the handheld device in a metro train environment.I still can't help but feel a slim Ultrabook and a gamepad would he a more elegant solution than this is. The thing is huge. My new laptop is pretty portable compared to this and does everything and even is like a Wacom too

I guess that is a valid point..
I haven't been on a train or a bus in like over twenty years. Just lots of planes.

On planes and longer-range bullet trains, the ultrabook form factor is okay if the seat has a drop-down tray table.
Your laptop with NVIDIA dGPU is not in the $399-to-$649 price range. It's good to see Valve has targeted Nintendo Switch's market price range which expands gaming PC's scope.

What I did was cancel my reservation for the midrange one that I had, and put one in for the good one. Idk if that's still an option. And you could wind up getting pushed back on the waiting list. I did this back when it was first available. I was set for q1 2022 and it stayed the same for me.

They gotta get rid of the black borders around the screen and put an 8" screen on this. They already have lots of 8" 720p screen in tablets, could've probably saved them money, too. That smaller screen just makes it look huge.

The sadness is that some people think they need hundreds of FPS and more pixels than there are grains of sand in the Sahara desert to "properly experience" games.
Games are fun, mechanics, interactivity, sound, music, experience. Visuals are important, but visual fidelity is a distant shadow of a concern for actual game experience quality.

So much more elegant than just holding a handheld device...
