Looks like Steam Deck is now sold out

It is quite a behemoth. Maybe it is more in competition with these small PCs like Intel NUC or gaming laptops.

One more thought: are we getting new hardware revisions every year like laptops or will this model be sold for many years for lower prices?

It's basically like a PC so I imagine it would be upgraded with better hardware, design revision, etc. every 1-2 years. 

Is that image to scale? It's actually not quite as big as I thought. 

Honestly for 550 dollars (the 400 model is a joke), that size, that ugly layout and that weight... I would rather pay a little more and buy a gaming laptop xD

Keep in mind Mbps is based on bits, not bytes.

In saying that... UHS-II cards allow for a maximum transfer speed of 312 MB/s, which is definitely shitting on those older SLC SSD's from over a decade ago.
UHS-I is 104MB/s which is still more than enough.

Flops are irrelevant.
Math is pretty simple ayway. 8CU*64 = 512 * 2 * 1600 = 1.63 Teraflops.

I know. I provided evidence for it.
The point of the "unoptimized garbage" is to showcase worst-case scenarios.

Also BotW isn't the most demanding Switch game, remember it is a WiiU port and not a game built from the ground up to take advantage of every single ounce of the Switch's capabilities... Plus it was a launch title, games get more demanding on hardware as time goes on.

Either way, feel free to peruse that link I provided prior and check out the battery life times of various games.

Not always.

Agreed. Screen could be better.

Texture resolution and final output resolution are separate issues.

You can definitely see the difference between SD and 4k textures on a 720P display.

Either way, with DDR5 system memory and 8 CU's, this isn't going to be doing ultra textures in games anyway.

Anyone who has used a Ryzen 5700u notebook with the integrated graphics will know that 720P games are more than capable on a device such as this.

Steam OS due to it's design has lower overhead than Windows, but also worst game support. Catch 22.

You can stream all Xbox games to a PC without the need for Xcloud, just need a console and the Xbox companion app... You can then run this on your high-bandwidth 5ghz home wireless, which is low latency.
But to be fair, you could also run the Xbox companion app on a $50 Android phone... So...

I feel streaming games over your Wifi to a mobile device is basically taking the original concept of the WiiU, but actually making that functionality usable as you are no longer limited to just a room or two in distance.

This is kind of cool, and unexpected. But there are multiple reasons I don't want it.
-The button placement
-I can already play games from Steam on my PC.
-I'd rather save up money in the next several years for a PS5.

Well, Steam at least uses Proton, so most of the games will be from Windows.

The only thing that Proton can't do is run recent Anti-cheat software like EAC.

Other than that, it's most likely that your favorite game will work fine, specially if it uses OGL/Vulkan.

AAIK, you also have the option to install W10/11.

Right, but MBps is bytes not bits which was the standard unit I was comparing in my original post, hence I capitalized the acronym. The first SSD I had in a PC was in 2015, a Sandisk Ultra II SSD III drive with a max read speed of 550 MBps. I assumed that 300 MBps would've been what earlier SSDs than that were doing. Looking at the SLC SSD's you're referencing, like the Intel X-25E series, read speeds were around 250 MBps, still faster than a 7200 RPM HDD. 

Either way, I agree with your main point, even 100 MBps is plenty enough if the drive/card is healthy, which is much more likely with flash memory than mechanical memory. 

It selling out and a ton of twitter goers showing off screenshots of their purchase...Well the demand seems to be their.

Well shit, maybe now Steam can become a lil more stable with the first batch being sold out XD.
