    Exactly. It’s neat that it’s OLED, like the original Samsung Galaxy from 2009, but it’d be pretty neat if they’ve skipped right to 2013 and at least make it FullHD. You’re supposed to overtake competition, not lag a decade behind.

        People knock the Switch but you’re not gonna do that much better without being noticeably heavier and hotter

        Speaking of bigger numbers: Are there even any rivals larger than Steam Deck? The damn thing is wider than my laptop.

        I think the point of the original Deck and the recent update are that they have too crappy of a screen to play non-demanding games, too weak hardware to play demanding games and too heavy of a body if what you do is just streaming from a PC.

            No, I just daily-drive a OneNetbook 4. Steam Deck is wider than that. Or a GPD Win Max. Or anything reasonably-sized, really.

          Both Aya Neo and Lenovo have handhelds bigger than the Deck. I don’t know about the size of the ROG Ally, but I do know that both of GPD’s handhelds are smaller than the Deck.

      The resolution is more than fine and I’m speaking from the perspective of an OG deck. Even if they brought the resolution up, the processor and battery wouldn’t be able to keep pace with it.
