Hard to get excited about this when Valve still won’t release the deck in my country and it’s now out of date hardware.
Really kinda disappointed with Valve on the deck.
What? It's not the fastest APU around anymore, but it's hardly outdated.
It’s two generations behind the current handheld offerings.
Now if you were going to buy something to last you the next few years would you pick the already old product or the fresh new one with modern components?
It’s outdated.
The software beats the shit out of any other handheld.
Yeah. Unfortunately the hardware doesn't run last gen games as other options but the need to deal with Windows is a nono for me. Also I don't understand why people want to play AAA games on a handheld.
Honestly I use it as a desktop more than I play games on it.
Is it though? It's targetting 5-15W, the other APUs are terrible at lower wattages and only good if they're blasting through energy.
I hope you get one one day, but that really has nothing to do with this.
It directly relates to the product and the producer.
It's lack of availability world wide is unfortunate, but unless Valve agrees to start letting retailers officially carry and sell it I doubt we'll see that change.
There are different ways to buy it I bought it year ago using mailforward from US
