Yeah LTT has gotten just big enough that clearly Linus has less and less time to proof the scripts properly. Like ffs if they had watched their own content they would have seen this error. I know the guy just reads off a screen but even Linus in the moment should have grabbed this one.
@AFK SOLITUDE You're recalling his line after the intro music. Before the music, Linus did say that the Win Max 2021 is the "1st GPD product with Intel Xe graphics." I noticed that error too. His editors have made mistakes like this before like when he reviewed the Win 3. Linus mentioned the GPD P2 Max but his editor showed a B-Roll of the GPD Win Max (2020). I'm not surprised if his writer makes such an error too. It's hard since they make a lot of videos per week.

Those ergonomics totally kill it as a gaming device though, whereas the keyboard... Well, I'd neither want to play nor work with that thing for as long as I would have to in order to justify a purchase in the first place.
Honestly, as someone who for the longest time only used a 3DS and DS for mobile gaming, I think I could actually get used to the thing considering its form factor is so similair. What would get me is the position of the sticks and buttons and the overall weight of the thing. Oh and at its price point I would rather buy a laptop and hook an xbox one controller into it.
no one talk about battery?? i think It:s the most important thing. Long battery life make switch be a truly portable gaming device. I dont think steam deck can handle an AAA game for 1-2 hour, just like some gaming laptop.
@Rettznom The cost for them is overpriced is because demand and supply is low, to make profit and make back research, marketing and other stuff they have to charge a premium. There is a reason you could've found at times find laptops with a 1650 with ryzen 5 4600h under 600 easily, heck I even bought one under 500. When you have scale then you can keep the prices lower. Those overpriced gamepads in component probably doesn't even cost 400
As good as these are, Valve just blasts them out of the water in pricing. That's the real transformation that Valve is creating, bringing PC gaming down to a cost and level of accessibility that it frankly never had. $400 and you're in.
@@ahsanihafizhu7129 You need to have a reservation to get a steam deck order, and you have needed to use steam for a couple months to get a reservation so most orders shouldnt be bots

@@orionfell from a more abstract perspective you are absolutely right, but at least a 3ds is not square ^^ and it just really does not look comfortable at all
I run fighting game tournaments here in California, and can confirm that fighting games are 100% tied to being 60fps. Each move has a specific frame data, that assumes the game is running at 60fps. So things can get a little wonky if you run the game at anything other than 60fps.
@@ZedDevStuff From my understanding, yes. All of your attacks, and movement all have specific frame data, that is tied to the game being 60fps. I can use Dragon Ball Fighterz as an example. Most Light attacks in that game have 6 or 7f startup, and at 60fps it looks smooth. If you change the FPS from 60fps to anything else, the game will still have those attacks come out in 6 or 7f, but since the amount of frames you’re getting is different that will cause the game to look much slower if you dip in FPS. Or much quicker if you uncap the frames manually.
Why would use a shit terrible game like that as an example. LOL, you run tournaments for that trash? SF, Tekken and MvC are the only fighting games that matter.
Valves pricing strategy is aggressive and highly competitive if you ask me and it obliterates the prices on this systems regardless of spec advantages or disadvantages the only reason I myself would consider the gpd is because of that thunderbolt dock which is amazing to have but is it required for my use? Probably not. I look forward to the steam deck release 😎
I mean at which point do we stop saying "handheld" and start calling it "small notebook" Because honestly, the GPD Win Max is just that. A small notebook.
machines this small used to be called palmbooks (a term coined by HP IIRC). They mostly died out because they're overall terrible to use and cost more than most 13" laptops
The steam deck looks to beat these by miles. These arent handhelds, they're literally small laptops that look like a nightmare to actually hold. Not to mention being way more expensive and worse performance wise.
@@ligametis But at that point why not just buy a gaming laptop? These things look about as portable but with less power. And sure thunderbolt is there but again, why not just buy a laptop? Is anyone really gonna buy a graphics card to connect these things to? I certainly wouldn't.
@@Marioand64Luigi Are you talking about buying gaming laptop in place of steam deck if you think just about gaming? Agree, gaming laptop is better than a deck with way more performance or even Switch due to library. But these GPD "mini laptops" are unique, they are a full computer, just a lot easier to carry.
@@Marioand64Luigi This is why I decided to just use my phone with a Razer kishi controller to emulate games. And now when cloud gaming is getting more available there is really no need buying a powerful handheld or even a laptop. And if you still want a powerful pc then I think your correct in buying a laptop instead, since the ergonomics of these handhelds are far from optimal if you account for the weight and grip that they have.
@@ligametis I'll say one thing, I type faster on the steam controller than any other controller i've ever used. And its not even close. On an xbox controller, I type like 20 words a minute tops. Steam controller i'm typing as fast as I can text, its amazing. even if you have a controller without touch pads, steam input has this "daisy wheel" thing (although i can't remember if they discontinued it or not) that even made typing faster on xbox controllers
I really like that PC handhelds are going to be a competitive market. Will be really healthy for the handheld market and help compatibility between form factors for applications. Bring it on
"I really like that PC handhelds are going to be a competitive market." No, they won't. No one but Valve will release a handheld at what could be considered a competitive price, everyone else will just buy laptops if theybother at all.
I'm still loving that Gabe is ENCOURAGING this. He WANTS people to he able to play anything on the go with a handheld PC, not a laptop that overheats if it's playing anything other than Sims 2 😂
Laptops have come a long way in terms of good gaming options :V If the laptop overheats, that would be more on the manufacture not making a good enough cooling solution, or even the user trying to push the system too hard. Even the best gaming laptops are high end tier at best, not enthusiast class (which is another step)
@@MrREAPERsz its more about affordability. yes there are tons of powerful laptops to play games with, but what's the point when it costs you 10x more than console/mid tier PC. that's why handheld PC like steam deck is a good idea. Its good enough to run some AAA games but its price is low enough to be an option to console gaming.
I have a 1050 ti Nitro 5 that I run both Destiny 2 and other semi-demanding games on without issue. ... all it took was ubdervolting the CPU with ThrottleStop and locking the fans to max. That said, I did try a 3070 equipped Triton 300 and that thing's awesome.
@@fartyfat6539 laptops are expensive because of portability. You can set up your laptop anywhere and play AAA titles maxed out. The steam deck is a good option, but it's only good because Valve is already rich as hell and can sell at a loss.
In Tekken 6, The Brokenness you were seeing was due to using Asynchronous Shader Compilation in RPCS3, Which skips rendering the objects until the gpu can recompile a shader and put this proccessing on a different CPU thread(s), It's worse on the Intel CPU because that has half the cores, meaning less threads where shader compilation could run.
I'm more of a DOS Box retro gamer. And this thing about shaders with some emulators confuse me. Why doesn't it compile the shaders in advance? They have to be built in active memory on the fly?
@@TheMedievalNerd It's nearly impossible to extract shaders from any given game and recompile them ahead of time since they can be modified before being presented to the emulated GPU, so it ends up being redundant as the shader would need to be recompiled on the fly anyways. There's no way of knowing which shaders will be modified at any given time, so Emulator Developers resort to simply compiling them as fast as possible to minimize stutter.
The rise of handheld PCs/Gaming PCs. Hopefully there will be more options, skus and sizes to fit different budgets and demands. Personally I am hoping for an all spec'ed up 9'+ screen handheld gaming PC that could be my main PC for work and leisure.
I find it much more likely that the steam deck will be the only real handheld pc on the market, and everything else will fall by the wayside. Valve is selling these at a competitive price to gain more msrketshare and get even more people on steam. Other hardware manufacturers are selling these devices and need to make a profit off of the hardware itself, have thin profit margins as if is, and are selling too an incredibly niche and underdeveloped market.
I've been using a win gdp max (prior version) for about a year now as a travel machine and they are decently sturdy and does pretty well with the thunderbolt external gpu. The intl iris in it kind of sucks balls in some games though, like anything pre 2012
Can't help but be the snarky one here. "...for an all spec'ed up 9'+ screen..." You must be a big one if a 9ft wide gaming console is portable to you. Jokes aside, taking the Switch approach and beefing it up by an order of magnitude does sound nice.
@@DwarfBaerdyn The thing I like about it most is the form factor. it fits in a 10 inch box and that can really be nice for travel, rather than keep it stuffed under the car seat or behind the seat in the net, I can keep that bad boy in the glovebox.
Valve is the best player on the field. They're pushing Linux gaming hard and we will most definitely be seeing games with anticheat in the near future. I'm excited to see what they do with the Steam Deck, and I'm INCREDIBLY excited to see the capabilities of the Steam Deck. Here's to a decade of hopefully great advancements in technology!
@@billyhatcher643 why would game companies hate Linux? just because they don't support it, it doesn't mean they have a distaste for the platform. it's just not worth it for them
@@billyhatcher643 full time linux users are such a minority that most companies don't care. Many linux users still also use windows OS specifically for games which are incompatible with Linux. So companies don't invest in such a miniscule sector unless it grows, after 5%-10% there will be a decent attention to the platform. It's not some irrational hate lmao
Linus holding his mousepad and shouting his store front is more convincing than those 15 second ads before CZcams videos. Shut up and take my money lol
So you watched the Video in 1minute. Its out 1minute and your commentary is 1minute old right now. So your PC seems to be blazingly fast if you can comment over the performance already.
I like to believe inside the deep areas of valve there lies a steam deck where there is a bunch of emulated games on it where most people are playing breath of the Wild
These idiots fell for the core amount hype. 6 cores is barely a thought for actual thinking power users for browsing while a game is loaded. 4 cores is still the most non-VM users will need on a regular basis. You people have hype rot in the brain, you do know clothing brands aren't that different either right?
@Kawaxte it’s a handheld, if you want to do workstation tasks buy/build a workstation; fewer, faster cores, are far more useful here. This isn’t an argument, I was just pointing something out. If you want the best of both worlds, the closest thing is an M1 MBA/Pro, depending on how long your loads are, and how much you care about the slight performance deficit of the Air when it eventually clocks down. But then you can’t game very well, so they’re not very applicable here. They’re just the only true thin-and-light machines competitive with desktops in pro-level workflows.
@@bigmclargehuge1170 with ryzen apus you can "overclock" (tdp increase) them using ryzenadj / renoir mobile tuning and more cores do help with a 25 watt tdp another thing i noticed with my 4700u is that it performs terribly in dx11 games but when using vulkan my fps is greatly improved
Biggest advantage these other devices have is that they are faster with iterations. Experience might not be as smooth. But they will keep pushing for the latest specs at cheaper price than Valve
I think you should also test performance at low wattages (10 - 15 watt). That would give around 3 hours of play time or more. Max performance with max power usage is ok but you definitely don't want use device in this mode and constantly charging it to play.
Even if they were the same cost as the steam deck, I'd probably still go for the steam deck. I like the form factor of it much better. I'd hate that keyboard being there when trying to play something with the joysticks. If I want a keyboard for the steam deck, I'll get a Bluetooth or USB solution.
The keyboards on these aren't in the way at all. It's like a Nintendo DS but with a keyboard instead of a screen. They are also designed so you won't hit any buttons by accident.
@@Thornskade I think they meant it being in the way as in you have to force your hands around the keyboard to even hold the joysticks instead of them being in front of the keyboard
This is one of the situations where the "Why not just buy a laptop" crowd has a point. The controls look awful so you would almost certainly need a controller anyways, adding a ton of girth to its carry size. Its for someone, but not me. Sticking with my steam deck preorder.
From what I've heard, the Win Max actually has some decent ergonomics once you get used to it. Also, the Win 3 has the same Xe Graphics on the i7 model and is much smaller so it can fit in your pocket. The i7 ii65G7 is also likely better for gaming since it likely uses less power, leaving more available for the iGPU.
"Maybe more broken ... but it runs faster." New Intel technology offering more fps unveiled. They call it "live removal of game assets during gameplay". What isn't there, doesn't need to be computed.
GNZ We, developers need to support that, but we do more offscreen rendering now for ray tracing and all. u need to understand it first! Why you cry that, are you willing to rewrite all titles for this intelGamboy crap????
@@lucasrem Where was I crying? It's clearly just a joke. 😅 besides, even if the assets need to be used for computing GI in the back, there's hardly any denying that visually clipping whole models will result in less compute for textures and possibly reflections, refractions etc...just out of curiosity though is that Tekken title actually even calculating any amount of GI at all?
said this before say it again weirdly enough its just linuses gpd win max amd that gets more fps than the intel version intel one usually gets 10fps more in most games says this on the site too
The best/worst part about testing two completely different GPUs is that the drivers render different settings. So if you put in medium, you might actually be getting just under medium. This is part of driver "tuning" which IMO isn't cheating if it looks the same.
@@bytezero3818 Don't get me started on that. THE PHAWX have a very good assessment on the Wh math, that does stand up, against the theoretical being touted. Like The Phawx, I've been using and testing portables for a long time. I have no doubt that Valve will eventually release a nice device. But the first model ain't it for me.
@@techfreakjames the OneXPlayer layout is far superior. Just use a bluetooth keyboard if one is needed. Win Max is awkward, palms splayed outward, it's a design which will die off.
It's really weird to me that I can watch the no-audio closed-captioned "preview" of any of your videos, and my brain just fills in the silence with an imagined version of your voice.
So basically they're really small laptops that are uncomfortable to use and only get an hour or so battery life? I'd like to see a comparison of a full day of gaming between this class of laptop, a switch, and an ipad w/keyboard & controller. Maybe throw a laptop with a dedicated GPU in the mix as well.
@@theoriginaldylangreene I think that both brands are good. Sometimes is better AMD and sometimes is better Intel. And we need that... the competition. Because having a competition sometimes leads to lower prices, and I think that nobody has problem with that.
Wow. Paraphrase an observation and the fecal pillars appear. Intel vs AMD. Better / Worse. It depends on the task and the goal. On one game Intel has more frames and more improperly rendered frames. The same game AMD has fewer frames and fewer render errors. What is better depends on whether you want animation stutters when frames drop or if you want all of the frames regardless of whether all objects in view are properly rendered. Who.. The F-K. Cares.
The vast majority of my steam library runs without a hitch on tiger lake. So far the only one I have run into issues is Doom eternal. Doom 2016 and Forza run great. I am not sure if Linus cherry picked games that worked poorly on XE or if it was by chance. With how pre-orders went down, I doubt the bulk of people will have a steam deck in hand before we have options for 5nm ryzen apus with rdna 2 being released, or intel's next line of improvements. If someone is watching this to decide what to buy, I would recommend the GPD win 3 for its portable size, great power efficiency, and build quality.
Yeah Intel struggles to compile shaders while the game is running in multiple emulators. AMD does much better there, often being unnoticeable that it is compiling.
@@Nutt_lemmings It fails to render them at 60 as well for the same time frame. Also when you're benchmarking things you uncap frames to see maximum potential.
At least on the Win Max (both versions), there's both a bigger battery (something like 57 Whr to the Deck's 40 Whr) and the CPU/GPU power can be limited to the same 15 W max as the Deck for more playtime

Then again, that might kill of competition when everyone is buying the Deck! Valve can do this low pricing because of how financially successful they already are, AYA or GPD don't nearly have the funds to go that low and make mass contracts and are therefore reliant on ours, however, i find it odd that even with that in mind, most of these recent portables do anything but innovate, using the same internals for years now with the same general reused layouts.
@@CarbonPanther like you said, none of these companies have the resources and reach that valve does, so it will be easy for them to come in and basically corner the market on these specialized handheld PCs. They’ll be offering better performance and most likely better build quality at a better price. Their deal with amd is a huge advantage too, there’s not really anything the other companies can do to compete with that.
I love the steam deck but the lack of thunderbolt is why I'd rather keep my GPD win 3 for now. One of the main reasons I got the win 3 is so I don't have to haul my whole PC to a friend's house and instead just bring the win 3 and an external GPU.

@@tradeka4206 Not necessarily, the Steam Deck fits a niche, the competitors just need to fine a different one, after all custom computers of an unusual form factor isn't terribly crowded
GPD official post ：”GPD is the better handheld device. Cuz you can run pirate games on our device. And if you know how to do it, you are already better than 99% of ppl. IT IS A FACT.” I mean…wtf?
Steam Deck will be better. These don't have LPDDR5-5500 quad channel, these have LPDDR4X-4800 dual channel, and part of why consoles can be good is the GDDR6, so having the newest fastest widest channel memory is incredibly important. As with all other AMD integrated laptops, these are all Vega, not RDNA2. And this is Zen 2, even if it could've been Zen 3. Valve can't use Zen 3 yet, since AMD has none of the Zen 3+RDNA2 custom silicon done yet. As for the Intel chip, those 96 cores are the same as with the 1165G7. The only difference is some number of 100-500MHz depending on the scenario. Which probably won't be helping that much. Really, by far the most important thing is really that the memory is choked on all but the Steam Deck. If you did want to use these, I'd probably buy the Intel just due to the updated iGPU though, but really the better purchase is the Steam Deck by far.
These are actually quad channel lpddr 4266, not that that puts them ahead of the steamdeck, however quad channel with the memory used in these and the steamdeck is not equal to quad channel in a desktop, quad channel here ends up with 128bit width like dual channel desktop ram, unlike quad channel desktop which is 256bit
@Jack Reaver well one can function also like a computer, you can trubleshoot problems in servers, quickly connect it to other computers, overall it can be used for some serious valuable work. While Steam one even though has computer insides can pretty much be only used for gaming, even taking a couple of notes on train would be completed
@@lilkittygirl Obviously these aren’t supposed to be baby’s first computer. What the guy was trying to say though, was that they look like shit. Which they do, especially compared to something as slick looking as the Steam deck

Yeah LTT has gotten just big enough that clearly Linus has less and less time to proof the scripts properly. Like ffs if they had watched their own content they would have seen this error. I know the guy just reads off a screen but even Linus in the moment should have grabbed this one.
@@foxdart LTT has script??
@AFK SOLITUDE You're recalling his line after the intro music. Before the music, Linus did say that the Win Max 2021 is the "1st GPD product with Intel Xe graphics." I noticed that error too. His editors have made mistakes like this before like when he reviewed the Win 3. Linus mentioned the GPD P2 Max but his editor showed a B-Roll of the GPD Win Max (2020). I'm not surprised if his writer makes such an error too. It's hard since they make a lot of videos per week.

Those ergonomics totally kill it as a gaming device though, whereas the keyboard... Well, I'd neither want to play nor work with that thing for as long as I would have to in order to justify a purchase in the first place.
Honestly, as someone who for the longest time only used a 3DS and DS for mobile gaming, I think I could actually get used to the thing considering its form factor is so similair. What would get me is the position of the sticks and buttons and the overall weight of the thing.
Oh and at its price point I would rather buy a laptop and hook an xbox one controller into it.
I dont want to hold a laptop
There is no scenario where this would be my preferred device.
The problem for everyone except Valve is that AMD APUs with RDNA2 cores are currently exclusive to the Steam Deck...
@Rettznom Economies of scale... lets see what Steam can pull off there
Exclusive? Is that so?
unfortunately, by the time the deck ships and is in the hands of consumers, there will most likely be rdna2 apus in new laptops and desktops.
no one talk about battery?? i think It:s the most important thing. Long battery life make switch be a truly portable gaming device. I dont think steam deck can handle an AAA game for 1-2 hour, just like some gaming laptop.
@Rettznom The cost for them is overpriced is because demand and supply is low, to make profit and make back research, marketing and other stuff they have to charge a premium. There is a reason you could've found at times find laptops with a 1650 with ryzen 5 4600h under 600 easily, heck I even bought one under 500. When you have scale then you can keep the prices lower. Those overpriced gamepads in component probably doesn't even cost 400
As good as these are, Valve just blasts them out of the water in pricing. That's the real transformation that Valve is creating, bringing PC gaming down to a cost and level of accessibility that it frankly never had. $400 and you're in.
The thing I'm worried about is how long that price will last. It's some seriously aggressive pricing.

Isn't that how the console business has worked for awhile now? They sell a product at a loss for awhile, and recoup the costs with other services that make it profitable.
If anyone’s curious about the price and just lazy to look it up here apparently it’s around $999.99 on Amazon while the Full price is about $1,049.99

I run fighting game tournaments here in California, and can confirm that fighting games are 100% tied to being 60fps. Each move has a specific frame data, that assumes the game is running at 60fps. So things can get a little wonky if you run the game at anything other than 60fps.
is this why most fighting games slow down instead of loosing frames like most games?
@@ZedDevStuff yes
@@ZedDevStuff From my understanding, yes. All of your attacks, and movement all have specific frame data, that is tied to the game being 60fps. I can use Dragon Ball Fighterz as an example. Most Light attacks in that game have 6 or 7f startup, and at 60fps it looks smooth. If you change the FPS from 60fps to anything else, the game will still have those attacks come out in 6 or 7f, but since the amount of frames you’re getting is different that will cause the game to look much slower if you dip in FPS. Or much quicker if you uncap the frames manually.
@@ZedDevStuff That's exactly why. Frame based physics means that as it loses frames, it physically takes longer to calculate each thing.
Why would use a shit terrible game like that as an example.
LOL, you run tournaments for that trash?
SF, Tekken and MvC are the only fighting games that matter.
Valves pricing strategy is aggressive and highly competitive if you ask me and it obliterates the prices on this systems regardless of spec advantages or disadvantages the only reason I myself would consider the gpd is because of that thunderbolt dock which is amazing to have but is it required for my use? Probably not. I look forward to the steam deck release 😎
I mean at which point do we stop saying "handheld" and start calling it "small notebook" Because honestly, the GPD Win Max is just that. A small notebook.
May we call it a netbook. Coz they were small notebooks

@. not really
machines this small used to be called palmbooks (a term coined by HP IIRC). They mostly died out because they're overall terrible to use and cost more than most 13" laptops
The steam deck looks to beat these by miles. These arent handhelds, they're literally small laptops that look like a nightmare to actually hold. Not to mention being way more expensive and worse performance wise.
To be fair they are worse in gaming, but overall way more versatile with that keyboard and even thunderbolt.
@@ligametis But at that point why not just buy a gaming laptop? These things look about as portable but with less power. And sure thunderbolt is there but again, why not just buy a laptop? Is anyone really gonna buy a graphics card to connect these things to? I certainly wouldn't.
@@Marioand64Luigi Are you talking about buying gaming laptop in place of steam deck if you think just about gaming? Agree, gaming laptop is better than a deck with way more performance or even Switch due to library. But these GPD "mini laptops" are unique, they are a full computer, just a lot easier to carry.
@@Marioand64Luigi This is why I decided to just use my phone with a Razer kishi controller to emulate games. And now when cloud gaming is getting more available there is really no need buying a powerful handheld or even a laptop. And if you still want a powerful pc then I think your correct in buying a laptop instead, since the ergonomics of these handhelds are far from optimal if you account for the weight and grip that they have.
@@ligametis I'll say one thing, I type faster on the steam controller than any other controller i've ever used. And its not even close.
On an xbox controller, I type like 20 words a minute tops. Steam controller i'm typing as fast as I can text, its amazing. even if you have a controller without touch pads, steam input has this "daisy wheel" thing (although i can't remember if they discontinued it or not) that even made typing faster on xbox controllers
I really like that PC handhelds are going to be a competitive market. Will be really healthy for the handheld market and help compatibility between form factors for applications. Bring it on
"I really like that PC handhelds are going to be a competitive market." No, they won't. No one but Valve will release a handheld at what could be considered a competitive price, everyone else will just buy laptops if theybother at all.

If the laptop overheats, that would be more on the manufacture not making a good enough cooling solution, or even the user trying to push the system too hard.

@@MrREAPERsz its more about affordability. yes there are tons of powerful laptops to play games with, but what's the point when it costs you 10x more than console/mid tier PC.
that's why handheld PC like steam deck is a good idea. Its good enough to run some AAA games but its price is low enough to be an option to console gaming.

In Tekken 6, The Brokenness you were seeing was due to using Asynchronous Shader Compilation in RPCS3, Which skips rendering the objects until the gpu can recompile a shader and put this proccessing on a different CPU thread(s), It's worse on the Intel CPU because that has half the cores, meaning less threads where shader compilation could run.
I'm more of a DOS Box retro gamer. And this thing about shaders with some emulators confuse me. Why doesn't it compile the shaders in advance? They have to be built in active memory on the fly?
@@TheMedievalNerd It's nearly impossible to extract shaders from any given game and recompile them ahead of time since they can be modified before being presented to the emulated GPU, so it ends up being redundant as the shader would need to be recompiled on the fly anyways. There's no way of knowing which shaders will be modified at any given time, so Emulator Developers resort to simply compiling them as fast as possible to minimize stutter.

The rise of handheld PCs/Gaming PCs.
Hopefully there will be more options, skus and sizes to fit different budgets and demands.
Personally I am hoping for an all spec'ed up 9'+ screen handheld gaming PC that could be my main PC for work and leisure.
I find it much more likely that the steam deck will be the only real handheld pc on the market, and everything else will fall by the wayside. Valve is selling these at a competitive price to gain more msrketshare and get even more people on steam. Other hardware manufacturers are selling these devices and need to make a profit off of the hardware itself, have thin profit margins as if is, and are selling too an incredibly niche and underdeveloped market.
this more like the revival of netbooks and portable pc console at the same time.
I've been using a win gdp max (prior version) for about a year now as a travel machine and they are decently sturdy and does pretty well with the thunderbolt external gpu.
The intl iris in it kind of sucks balls in some games though, like anything pre 2012
Can't help but be the snarky one here.
"...for an all spec'ed up 9'+ screen..."
You must be a big one if a 9ft wide gaming console is portable to you.
Jokes aside, taking the Switch approach and beefing it up by an order of magnitude does sound nice.

Valve doesn't mind competing hardware as long as you can run Steam on it.
The eGPU situation and lack of USB4 support on the Deck seems like a massive oversight
"Intel's top of the line...it promises to be an absolute beast, it's got 4-cores...." oh I see, Intel gets a participation trophy now.
More cores isn't necessarily going to help if you're limited to 25w.
@Kawaxte which is a lot slower than the competition in single-core, which is way more important for a device like this. So what's your point?
These idiots fell for the core amount hype.
6 cores is barely a thought for actual thinking power users for browsing while a game is loaded.
4 cores is still the most non-VM users will need on a regular basis.
You people have hype rot in the brain, you do know clothing brands aren't that different either right?
@Kawaxte it’s a handheld, if you want to do workstation tasks buy/build a workstation; fewer, faster cores, are far more useful here. This isn’t an argument, I was just pointing something out. If you want the best of both worlds, the closest thing is an M1 MBA/Pro, depending on how long your loads are, and how much you care about the slight performance deficit of the Air when it eventually clocks down. But then you can’t game very well, so they’re not very applicable here. They’re just the only true thin-and-light machines competitive with desktops in pro-level workflows.

Biggest advantage these other devices have is that they are faster with iterations. Experience might not be as smooth. But they will keep pushing for the latest specs at cheaper price than Valve
I think you should also test performance at low wattages (10 - 15 watt). That would give around 3 hours of play time or more. Max performance with max power usage is ok but you definitely don't want use device in this mode and constantly charging it to play.

From what I've heard, the Win Max actually has some decent ergonomics once you get used to it. Also, the Win 3 has the same Xe Graphics on the i7 model and is much smaller so it can fit in your pocket.

The best/worst part about testing two completely different GPUs is that the drivers render different settings. So if you put in medium, you might actually be getting just under medium. This is part of driver "tuning" which IMO isn't cheating if it looks the same.

Competitive gamers knows that's just Marketing BS for kids, if you travel a lot, why not just buy a gaming laptop, you can also use it for work and other stuff rather than these stupid "handheld portable gaming device"
@@ryle1683 in the American market, convenience is King, so small and lighter but still capable will always have a place. That's why phones beat out tablets for our person computing devices
@@michaelroberts5191 Yeah, i guess it's a western thing, have a nice day
I canceled my funding for these when I heard the steamdeck was coming, best choice I’ve made.
Then again, that might kill of competition when everyone is buying the Deck!
Valve can do this low pricing because of how financially successful they already are, AYA or GPD don't nearly have the funds to go that low and make mass contracts and are therefore reliant on ours, however, i find it odd that even with that in mind, most of these recent portables do anything but innovate, using the same internals for years now with the same general reused layouts.
Same, I considered the Win 3 until I saw the deck. Don't see how this one's any different than that.
@@CarbonPanther like you said, none of these companies have the resources and reach that valve does, so it will be easy for them to come in and basically corner the market on these specialized handheld PCs. They’ll be offering better performance and most likely better build quality at a better price. Their deal with amd is a huge advantage too, there’s not really anything the other companies can do to compete with that.
I love the steam deck but the lack of thunderbolt is why I'd rather keep my GPD win 3 for now. One of the main reasons I got the win 3 is so I don't have to haul my whole PC to a friend's house and instead just bring the win 3 and an external GPU. Though as soon as one of these portables has zen 4 with a usb 4 port I'll gladly get it.
@@tradeka4206 Not necessarily, the Steam Deck fits a niche, the competitors just need to fine a different one, after all custom computers of an unusual form factor isn't terribly crowded
GPD official post ：”GPD is the better handheld device. Cuz you can run pirate games on our device. And if you know how to do it, you are already better than 99% of ppl. IT IS A FACT.”
I mean…wtf?
You've left out the most import thing out, Steam Deck is the lowest price PC handheld !
The steam deck is offering similar performance at half the power. ~15 watts.
and half the price
*Better performance

Hi
Hi

Man, this is great how computers are finally evolving ;D!
It literally looks like they redesigned those old portable CD players to become portable PC's
And these competitors can too be yours, for only the low low price of 3 Steam Decks.

The Steam Deck was late to the party. The competitors already existed before Steam Deck was ever announced.
Steam Deck will be better. These don't have LPDDR5-5500 quad channel, these have LPDDR4X-4800 dual channel, and part of why consoles can be good is the GDDR6, so having the newest fastest widest channel memory is incredibly important.
As with all other AMD integrated laptops, these are all Vega, not RDNA2. And this is Zen 2, even if it could've been Zen 3. Valve can't use Zen 3 yet, since AMD has none of the Zen 3+RDNA2 custom silicon done yet.
As for the Intel chip, those 96 cores are the same as with the 1165G7. The only difference is some number of 100-500MHz depending on the scenario. Which probably won't be helping that much.
Really, by far the most important thing is really that the memory is choked on all but the Steam Deck.
If you did want to use these, I'd probably buy the Intel just due to the updated iGPU though, but really the better purchase is the Steam Deck by far.
Even for productivity the steam deck isn't so bad. Just use an external keyboard, though some sort of stand may be necessary too.
When you will be able to buy deck here and now I think GPD will already have something better. Steam Deck also doesn't have a keyboard.
These are actually quad channel lpddr 4266, not that that puts them ahead of the steamdeck, however quad channel with the memory used in these and the steamdeck is not equal to quad channel in a desktop, quad channel here ends up with 128bit width like dual channel desktop ram, unlike quad channel desktop which is 256bit
@Jack Reaver well one can function also like a computer, you can trubleshoot problems in servers, quickly connect it to other computers, overall it can be used for some serious valuable work. While Steam one even though has computer insides can pretty much be only used for gaming, even taking a couple of notes on train would be completed
@@ligametis the stuff ur talking about is all the reasons to get a small laptop lol
The form factor for these types of devices is very important. This looks good as a child's first computer.
It’s great for anyone. This is definitely far beyond what a child should be using.
These are enthusiast adult gaming machines
@@lilkittygirl Obviously these aren’t supposed to be baby’s first computer. What the guy was trying to say though, was that they look like shit. Which they do, especially compared to something as slick looking as the Steam deck
Switch like form factor is better way for gaming
That "twist" effect after intro totally got me. XD
Seeing that thunderbolt graphics card makes me think the future of desktops is actually underpowered, basic laptops with plug-in graphics cards, so people have a convenient but slow and cheap machine they can take with them while still largely having a stationary gaming PC with high performance, upgradeability etc.
Yes but currently it’s about $600 or more to get started with the egpu and the graphics card after you buy the computer itself first
