    What I’m really waiting for is a Steam box that I can hook up to my TV. I’d buy that in a heartbeat. I really don’t understand why they haven’t come out with one of those yet. Should be much easier to do than a handheld.

        There’s an app, i think it only works for android TV, or Google TV, or whatever they call it. Same basic functionality, just dependent on your tv (or whatever thing you use for watching shit on your tv) hardware.

      There have been recent leaks that indicate Valve is working on something going by the codename “Fremont” that is basically just that. Also some 3D models of a new Steam controller that’s much more like A SteamDeck without the screen were included in a recent update.

      We’ll see though, Valve does have a bit of a problem staying focused on what they were working on when they come back from their holiday break, and sometimes things get cancelled because they lose interest over the break.

      You can already do that though??? You just need a dock.

      I sometimes connect Deck to TV via dock and play using Xbox controller.

        Sure. But the Deck is a bit underpowered for a 4k TV. It would have to be powerful enough to play most games at 4k with some frame generation.

    That touchpad is tiny so I’m not sure how useful it will be (probably just for cursor usage on desktop). Good to see 120hz and hopefully with VRR support.

    Seems that ootb Linux support is a few months after initial release.

      I’ve never seen the Legion Go irl but the old one looked like the touchpad was just the right size too be unobtrusive but still practical. The new one looks like a thumb print reader.

    ROG Ally with its extreme apu isn’t enough for me. I’m going to wait for something significantly stronger before buying one of these hand helds.
