Sometimes you want MORE POWER than the Steam Deck Has...at $2,699.99 might as well build a beast of a desktop and get a steam deck with it at that price.
For sure there is a million and one ways to dice up $2.5k+. Who this is for, idk. Probably college students with scholarship money to blow would be my guess.
True, but I think the desire for a laptop this powerful stems from it's portability, which is why the price is so high. I wouldn't pay that much, but in a couple years when it's half the cost, it might be worth it.
@@B_MachineIf I wanted more powerful then Steam Deck I would've gotten Lenovo Legion Go or bought myself Asus ROG Ally I could easily get way more powerful still portable (ROG Ally) and more power without spending fortune!
I need portability, for work.
So I use gaming laptop.
I used to have desktop and mid range laptop.
Now I use only laptop. Im willing to pay extra for it. As many other people.
But of course, desktop is much more performance per dollar better.
I bought a gaming laptop a few years ago. I’ll never do that again. I should have built a regular PC.
I’m just the opposite, I built a custom gaming PC but didn’t get a chance to use it much. Bought a gaming laptop later, much more expensive and less powerful, but considering my desktop was relegated to being a paper weight, the fact that I actually used my laptop on a regular basis made it a much better investment. Never going back
@@xpeterson nothing feels better than just simply picking a laptop up with one hand, that can handle games exceptionally well, and just walking place by place with it
I went from laptop to desktop and now I cant wait to go back to laptop
Cool to see some higher-end hardware on the channel for variety! It would be awesome to get your opinions on a desktop PC with a real RTX 4080 (or something like that) in the future as well! It's a bit different from this, but desktops are the ultimate gaming systems for people who want immersive single-player gaming with all the bells and whistles enabled, making them an interesting subject for a video.
I have a MSI RAIDER76, i7 3060 1080p. And I still prefer to play on the deck, mainly for the Oled screen. I’ll only play games that aren’t compatible on my laptop.
Despite the other comments I think it's great to review laptops and PC"s, I will often steam link from my gaming laptop because the steam deck can't run everything, but you can play your laptop handheld.
Seems like a solid laptop but at that price point idk. I recently purchased an ASUS Vivobook 15X on Amazon for half the cost, packed with very similar features. The internals are from last gen, but still extremely viable for gaming. I played Lies of P at max settings and it ran great. It's rocking a 3060, an i7 12650H, and a 15.6" 16:9 1440p OLED that is probably just as amazing as the screen on this laptop. I love it, but the only things I don't love are how I have to have it plugged in to get max performance, but that's the case for most if not all Windows gaming laptops anyway.
Regardless, great review! I look forward to the future of gaming laptops and gaming handhelds that all compete within the existing market.
And don’t forget this variant of 4080 costs almost $3000! (after taxes in the U.S.) Luckily for my bank account Best Buy is out of stock on it and will definitely wait on a sale.
I don't necessarily think laptops and handheld pc's appeal to the same consumer.
Even if a laptop had triple the performance of the deck I would still not use it over a deck or similar handheld cause of the form factor!
That said the laptop does look really cool and very impressive performance.
This laptop has waayyyyy more than 3x the performance of the Deck. But I completely agree with your point haha
Why you say that? When a game is overkill for a gaming laptop and desktop then the deck is perfect like Vampire Survivors and Dead Cells.
I've been playing Unicorn Overlord on the Switch which is perfect game for a handheld while my desktop would be overkill.
I would guess the vast majority who owns a Steam Deck already has a gaming laptop and/or desktop. At home I can even use remote play off of my desktop to play more demanding games on the OLED Deck. I can play the deck on my deck in the cool of the day. (I have an access point so have wifi outside of my home.)
But how do you convert it to steam deck form factor?
I have the prior gen of this laptop. And it’s absolutely incredible.
Great review. If ever could afford one of these I would get one. But it’s out my price range. The screen looks amazing
Thank goodness, someone remembers the humble laptop. Nowadays with everyone on the current handheld fad, it seems that we have all but forgotten that you can still play games (and even do work) on a laptop, and it might even be optimal for certain people.
This laptop is bananas, I'm going to be sad when I send it back.
PC handhelds are over-hyped on CZcams. Out of the PC gamers I know I use a handheld like the Steam Deck more than all of them put together.
This is by far the very best in reviews in my opinion as it actually shows what it's like for real people. Well done and deserves a much higher subscription rate
9:03 so is it glossy or matte finish ?
I am going with the steam deck for portable gaming and I plan on getting a new PC to replace my 15 year old one for heavy duty gaming at home. I plan on puting Linux on my old one.
Laptops are an unesecarry middle ground for me. I have a Deck for mobility/freedom and an absolutely massive tower for when I can be at my desk.
Most of you guys are old and not moving around. As a college student, worker and commuter I need mobility. But yes flex your massive tower, your 4090 RTX
We are all very impressed 👏
Agreed. Desktops remain the ultimate gaming systems for people that enjoy immersive single player gaming with all the bells and whistles enabled... maybe even some path tracing. I would always opt for combination of a cheap laptop and a way more powerfull desktop of the same money (or less) as a high-end laptop that is less performant.
@@UnendingCoda It's not a flex and my GPU is old, unfortunately. Just more commenting that because it really doesn't need to go anywhere and I have tons of room to add more to my build. Laptops are limited and if you need one for class/work, would not a cheap chromebook suffice? The money and performance you'd get out of a desktop would allow you to afford one.
@@UnendingCoda When I went to university (just a few years ago), I had a desktop in my dorm for higher workloads and gaming, and a cheap laptop for moving around and taking notes. You don’t need the power on the go. That combination was both cheaper and more powerful than a high-end laptop. You are way more productive on a desktop (with multiple screens if possible) and a roomy desk layout with a keyboard and mouse. It’s optimal to do as little as possible on your laptop and as much as possible on your desktop if you value productivity and, ultimately, your time
@@UnendingCoda🤣🤣
I want the 4070 G14 but it's not in stock and overpriced in the UK -__- Best Buy get the best deals -__-
It's true I do want a little more power just a little bit more.
Bill, do you foresee ordering this laptop once you send this one back to Asus?
If I were in the market for a laptop I might. The screen is crazy good.
Can’t believe you almost dismissed and brushed over the audio quality of this laptop, coming from a MacBook Pro, these are the closest I have heard to them..
2000 for a labtop is crazy
Man discovers gaming laptop exist
Yea but I heard labtops are garbage because they over heat and fan is mah.
Bill 🫡
Yeah buy a legion Go.
The 2024 ROG lineup is a joke, I just bought and returned both the 14 and 16. The 16 was the worst of the two, the thermal management was abysmal, the top case literally got hot enough to potentially cause burns. The battery life on the 16, even doing mundane tasks, was nowhere near as good as it should be. The 14 in contrast fared much better, the battery life, thermals and performance stayed consistent and did not drop off a cliff. That being said they made both of them way too thin this year, I imagine next year they will increase the size of the chassis to what it should be to properly handle the heat they both generate.
Filler video tbh
Do not use laptop!
What's wrong with laptops
@@watchdog20 You are better off with a cheap laptop for mobility and a powerful desktop for work and gaming. That combo costs less than a high-end laptop, while the desktop is way more powerful. Like I mentioned earlier, it is optimal to do as little as possible on your laptop and as much as possible on your desktop if you value productivity and, ultimately, your time. Additionally, a desktop is more durable and upgradable, so it doesn’t just save money at the time of purchase, but also in the long run
@@Nucleosynthese the thing is that in a few months it might be on sale. I for one don't ever buy these kind of things at full price and it just might last longer than a cheap laptop.
@@watchdog20 Yeah buying tech stuff a bit later is a good way to save money. Desktops are much more powerfull for the same money (or cheaper) and last so much longer than laptops as they don't get as hot, don't use batteries and don't get moved around as much. You may also be able to upgrade your desktops years down the line for a lot less than buying a new desktop or new laptop.
@@Nucleosynthese the only reason I want to buy something like this laptop is because I don't have the room for a PC with similar performance 😢
