I have 2:

  • Steam Deck 256gb
  • GPD Win Max 2020

Willing to answer any questions about them if you’d like.

Fun fact: I got Diablo 4 to run at smooth framerate (30+ fps) on the GPD Win Max. It wasn’t pretty, but it was playable😆.

What do you have/want?

    … the touchpads on the deck are so great, and i wish everything had them, though they do feel like they’re in the way of a where a button could be…

    Mind: I only used SteamOS for a couple of days before moving to Win11 on the deck, and it got eventually bothersome to kludge together all these community components and still cross my fingers on simple things like connecting it to a TV. Steam deck tools is great, and handheld companion is a comprehensive suite, but I think i want to start with “just works”.

    I like that the ally’s screen is natively horizontal 1080p so Duplicate display doesn’t misbehave on externals and random games don’t have resolution/scaling/vsync issues; all the fancy controller stuff is built in and easy to use, and it’s windows by default so I’m not fighting it with GOG + playnite (my main use case). It also has a really nice fit and finish!

      I will say, steamos was that just works part for the deck assuming you don’t absolutely need anticheat blocked games.
