Thats why I'm glad PC/Steamdeck are 2 seperate devices. Costs a fortune sure but you don't feel any compromises. Nintendo's approach makes the most sense for the market, but you end up with a severely crippled home console because of it. Its why I never got a Switch, first Nintendo console I haven't owned. The Steam Deck is just an incredible value. You can totally just get the 64GB low end model for 399, and like everybody should. And that's the only frivolous PC that's mostly a toy. A decent midrange laptop is worth the money on its own. Edited May 4, 2023 by sugarhigh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Long term no. But i found even with the top end model, Im still developing a hefty MicroSD collection. So I think anyone would be fine with the 64GB to start. Get some SD cards, and eventually put a bigger SSD in as prices come down. There's a compatible 1TB going for $80 right now. Edited May 4, 2023 by sugarhigh 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It should actually be powerful enough for ray tracing in many games. Edit: AMD cards are not as good for ray tracing apparently. That’s the one drawback. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, eventhough my GPU should perform better with ray tracing, the 8gb of VRAM is really bottlenecking it right now. The GPU in that laptop has 12gb, so it will outperform mine in recent games (especially those released this year). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
