With the new Antec Core HS preparing to enter the market place, how will Steam Deck competitors like Valve respond? Do they need to?

TL;DR: Antec is going to be selling a Steam Deck competitive device, based on the Ayaneo Slide. The device has a slide up screen that reveals a keyboard, which is good because using desktop windows is much easier with a keyboard. However the device’s lowest estimated power draw at low/no load is 15w, meaning it will use comparable power to the deck running at max power. This means the battery life will probably be pretty rough when compared to the Deck. It will also likely have a much higher price point.

    I would definitely consider Bazzite as a good upgrade for those devices, but until Asus fixes their warranty issue, hardware issues, and adds track pads, I’m not really interested in their hardware.

    I really appreciate knowing that valve will fix any issues that come up.

      Since before 2011, I don’t think this is happening anytime soon.

      Especially with their responses over the last ~5 years/ So many controversies. So many horrible responses. I wish so dearly that people would stop buying from ASUS because they do not deserve our business.
