sugarhigh 519 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 It's great to see Lenovo jumping in so quickly. Need Alienware next. And Valve needs to hurry up with SteamOS for these other devices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,749 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 i like the concept of a bigger screen, but i still think the SD is the best built of the soon-to-be big 3. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the size of their screens is the achilles heel for both the Deck and Ally. The power of these systems is intended to let you play Triple A games in a portable format but the display size clashes with that. Those games are just too detailed nowadays to be comfortable on a 7 inch display. So Lenovo has the right idea but admittedly based on my experience working with their computers and accessories, they're just not a high quality brand. I expect this device to have its own set of issues. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for lenovo, yeah, I’ve heard mixed things. But I also know Asus has had its share of hardware trouble over the last few years. So, who knows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look at the size of the UI and fonts in Diablo 4. This isn't remotely comfortable to look at for extended periods of time unless you're a 20 year old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And did you forget there's an actual "console" UI in that game which pushes it to one side and makes it easier to see? How about the fact that he's got the font size on "medium" and you can adjust it to "large"? U blind homie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sugarhigh 519 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 7" or 8" is not make or break. I think the problem is going with an unattainable resolution like 2560 x 1600. You're just wasting battery on a resolution the GPU can't possibly sustain. 1080p is a stretch but > qHD is a blunder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even 1080p is excessive. I tried Cyberpunk at 900p on my ally and was super impressed by how much better it ran, while looking essentially identical to 1080p output. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
