feel like ive got this setup it just took a damn long time (still configuring things ofc). my ally acts like a switch but for my desktop (and remote plays). most games I run at 7-15w even diablo 4 (40 fps vrr handheld, 60 fps docked).

here's a video of my setup from boot to playing a few games, (pc games installed locally, emulator games stored on local server) . while docked all this is controlled via either a dualshock 3 bluetooth, or wireless xbox controller via xbox adapter. don't know why diablo 4 didn't record at the end but gives you a sense of my launcher HUB.

ill take: the high windows memory footprint (wish it had total 22 gb so we could do 6gb video memory, 16gb system memory), and the slightly worse battery performance.

for the better screen, and windows os which just works better for current and past compatibility of pc games.

next week i’m ordering one it’s time

SIKE JUST ORDERED NOW

best dock ? or should i just cop the steam one

There’s an unofficial one that’s good out there for like $40-50 I forget the name

But official dock is on sale rn for $70 and comes with charger

Up to you

might just cop official but won’t cop for a bit since i don’t think i need it right now

Anybody do the dual boot sd windows on steamdeck yet? I dl windows and went through the process bc I wanna play Diablo, got windows to boot successfully, got the drivers installed, but the controls don’t work? So I’m assuming I can only play if I dock the steam deck in?

Diablo works on Steam OS bro...

I’m confused bro, bc I don’t see Diablo in the store, so when you say Steam OS, do I gotta do some extra s***? Sorry bruh I’m a noob when it come to this s*** lol

Here’s a guide to get it running

No you can download Battle launcher on SteamOS (the operating system which the deck runs on) you din't need windowa

Good look

Right on bro

This is a easier/quicker method

You can also buy a hub for cheaper if you don't really need a dock
I use this one and it works great

best SD card to cop ? i got the 64 gb version and probably not gonna change the ssd idk i just don’t trust myself even if it’s super easy

never bought anything from them always seemed like a scam

Nah I've been buying from there for years
Just gotta look at reviews and you're good
A lot of sites buy cheap from there and resell for higher
Just bought a 2TB SSD from there for 120$

I have a bunch of 512gb lexar a2 sd cards they work great

you know the best 1 TB card ?

does this work the same for epic games?
