AMD is doing really great things with APUs like the Steam Deck. I just got a travel mini PC with a Ryzen 7 7840U. It can play most games at 1080p high quality with 30fps and fits in the palm of my hand.
It might be a while before you can play VR on an APU but they're already comparable to GPUs from 5 years ago
I keep looking at SteamDecks but can’t pull the trigger.
Besides gaming what can you do with it? Like can I browse the darkweb on the go? Does it have regular PC functionality?
yeah its just an arch based linux distro with a custom gamemode, although by default it's read-only so you can only install flatpaks. you can get around that if you need to.
Thanks.
I guess if I get one I can say “I use Arch btw”.
