The device is just woefully underpowered now compared to the competition. It’s fine if you just use it for emulation, old games, or just playing stuff at 30fps. But I want to have something with more power, especially at the new price point.
I mean, it’s a portable device.
Put enough power into it, and it’s just going to light my lap on fire.
The more powerful device (with enough cooling, and a wall connection) is the Steam Machine, and it’s currently a lottery to get a chance to buy one. I am fully down to play more aggressive games, if I get a chance to buy the Steam Machine.
But I’m not excited for another Sega GameGear - another portable so powerful that it cannot be practically played away from a wall outlet.
I do want another SteamDeck, but I want it smaller, lighter, lower power, longer battery, and pocketable. I want a SteamDeck mini.
Its fantastic to play stuff remotely though, with sunshine/moonlight. I can VPN into my home network from coffee shops, hotels, etc and play much stronger titles streamed from my PC.

I’m patiently waiting for a Steam Deck 2.

How’s the input lag with that setup?
Fine for my needs, I don’t play FPSs or platformers though, just single player RPG’s and open world games.
Moonlight seems to use 10mb/s to stream, so its not very demanding on internet either.
Me too, but not looking forward to the price, and probably won’t wind up getting one 😔
