Yeah sorry about that, this one was a little rushed. Also I film in HDR so that is probably what’s going on, next vid’s colour grading has been given some attention so hopefully it looks better. Thanks for the feedback

⁠@@salocin9009HDR is nice, there are ways to turn it off with low power mode lol

For storage and convenience, I can get by on Linux so I’m not gonna go to all the extra work just for wallpaper engine and a few other niceties. Nothing has come up yet that stops me from doing my work, funnily enough I would actually unlock more access to games by dual booting. Also switching between Game mode, Desktop mode and Windows all the time would get annoying quick, at least for me personally. Thanks for watching

@@salocin9009 that's fair enough. Great video btw, wish I had the patience to learn how to effectively use linux.

Haha thanks, didn’t realise I had one till I started uploading videos

Depends on the use case, for me it is. That’s because I need the larger screen for note taking, productivity, video editing and content consumption. Whereas someone who is just playing games, browsing the web and needs a smaller form factor would probably prefer the mini. In the end the performance difference is negligible and Apple still charges a lot for its smallest tablet (it really should’ve received a price cut like the base iPad), so the Air also wins in the value category. Hope that helped

@@salocin9009 Would you agree with me that yours is better than the iPad 10

Oh wow, was expecting you to say the Portal is smoother. They really should have just put android on it, then you’d be able to do other stuff like lighter mobile games or UA-cam/Netflix… or use Chiaki lol. Even if it was smoother it’s still a single use device and I can’t justify spending that much for something that does only one thing. Thanks for the insight, hope you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for watching, if you’re going to be using it for studying and watching shows I’d say the M2 iPad Air is enough. However if you are trying to save money and willing to go refurbished, the M1 iPad Pro is a great option. The M1 Pro is better than the M2 Air in every way except for being slightly slower (not noticeable when making notes, watching movies etc) and it uses the Gen 2 pencil (however I think it won’t make a difference since hover and barrel roll are artist features and aren’t really useful when note taking). Hope that helped

@@salocin9009 Thanks for ur advices. 🙂

Yep, Apple is incredibly stubborn when it comes to certain things. One of them being that if a feature has “pro” in the name, it means the device has to have “pro” in the name. It’s a sad day for iPad mini fans, poor thing didn’t even get a price drop like the base iPad.

@@salocin9009 At least it'll give people the confidence to go and buy the 2021 iPad on the used market without worry. Knowing that the new mini won't have anything other than a faster processor, which they can't fully utilize because of the toy operating system, and a new pen that only works with new expensive iPads.

@@shApYT That’s true, still I wish they had bumped it up to at least A16. The iPad is currently using a 4 year old iPhone chip with not enough RAM to future proof it, at least in my experience with it safari tabs frequently need to reload and any apps that aren’t currently on screen get kicked from memory. Although I’m using it for uni, anyone using it purely for content consumption and games with probably get by just fine.

I bought the 10th gen iPad. The pricing was good and I got credits for my two older iPods at a direct Apple store.

$20 US is approx $30 AUD after currency conversion, so in the end it’s about the same price. Glad you were able to make it work though, probably helps that internet is a lot better in the US than here in Australia.

Casual in the sense that you don’t need insane accuracy, yes the game can get very intense but I wouldn’t call it competitive like COD or The Finals. o7

Thanks, more went into this vid’s composition than usual (cause I saw a vid about match cuts and wanted to try it). Glad you enjoyed it

Weird, I haven’t experienced any fan noise when remote playing on the Deck since Chiaki4deck is soo easy to run. I only notice it when I’m playing a really demanding game and even then it’s not that loud, I know different steam decks have different fans so maybe I got lucky. No fan noise would be perfect but that’s the cost of greater performance I guess. Glad to hear the Portal works for you, no hate for the device, I just think the situations where it makes sense to get one are limited.

@@salocin9009 I am happy with portal, I sold switch after playing Zelda TOTK will buy another when next Zelda release 😂🥲. I live in Australia, bought sd through a 3rd party Marketplace, I couldn't bear the noise so sold it after a month. I sold my 3080, i712th gen PC from Alienware because of noise. I am waiting for a handheld with minimal noise or no noise 😂. If it comes out that's the day 1 purchase. There are rumors that Xbox is making a handheld, If they do I think that will be the one with minimal noise.

@@SM-ov7yi Yeah, it’s gonna be awesome once we can get good performance with passive cooling. I hate fans as they’re just a mechanical failure waiting to happen, the less moving parts the better. Maybe one of Apple’s M series chips is the play, especially after seeing the performance they’ve been able to get out of the latest iPads.

I agree that the Portal beats out the Steamdeck when strictly comparing remote play capabilities, even then Steamdeck has the ability to output to a monitor and run full discord at the same time so depending on what you value the Steamdeck may come out on top if you only want remote play. I think the portal is a good product but in many cases you’ll already have a good enough option in your inventory, already owning a Steamdeck is one of those cases imo.

Glad you liked it

@@salocin9009 🤍

Apparently a cape is in the works, the design is unknown though. Very exciting times

Thank you! FOR FREEEEEEEDOM!

Thought it might be unique to mine, not much I can do now since it’s out of warranty. It seems we’ve got the same plan tho, use it till it’s dead (or at least close) haha.

In my opinion, if you need something for Uni that’s new then go for the M1 Air with 256 GB of storage. If you can go used then get a certified refurbished M1 iPad Pro since Apple replaces almost everything in their refurbished products to the point where they’re basically good as new. HOWEVER, I would advise waiting till the Apple event in a couple of days on May 7th as we are almost definitely getting new iPads. If you like any of the new ones get those, if not the old ones will be discounted. Hope that helped!

Thanks!!!

Always something, I swear

Yep, played Royal all the way to the true final ending. Highly recommend it

Almost forgot about that one 😬

I’ve mapped the touchpad to the Steamdeck’s right trackpad and the PS button to one of the extra back buttons.

Ok thanks for the tip, I might have to try 1080p and see if it looks any better to my eye. The current floor plan means ethernet is not an option, doesn’t really matter to me anyway since latency is good enough and I’m already maxing out the speeds of my internet plan over wireless.

@@salocin9009 just so you know ps5 to steam deck connection has nothing to do with your internet speed:) it's all local you could unplug your modem from router and it would still work... but yeah if it's not an option then it is what it is.

Are you talking about the PlayStation sign in page? Because I had the same problem, it sometimes doesn’t work. Just try again later and it will eventually work, at least in my experience.

It work on all PS4 and PS5 consoles including the PS4 Pro

You’re absolute right, this video is just about how the Steamdeck is a better portal. Any device you already own capable of remote play is a better option than a portal lol, I could probably make a video about how the iPad and a Dualsense are a better PS Portal

Nice, I don’t play those games but glad to hear they work well with streaming too

Come on man, warzone is hard to play with these settings too unless you are ghost of caldera

is it the OLED?

That’s a pretty sweet deal, especially considering you can still play most switch games if you’re willing to try out emudeck.

Didn’t know that, just tossed in the cheapest 512 GB SSD I could find and it’s been fine so far. Will keep that in mind if I ever need to upgrade again

Glad to heard, due to currency conversion and import costs the OLED is significantly more expensive than the LCD. I’ll be sticking with the LCD for now as it meets my needs, will wait for the next generation steam deck in a few years.

​​​@@salocin9009 better stick with lcd only few difference to be honest go for Rog ally extreme instead the performance is better, but battery life sucks.

Oh wow I never thought of upscaling the stream, smart way to save bandwidth since you can stream a lower res or to get around resolution limitations set by the streaming provider.

@@salocin9009 yes it's great so I have my stream set to 1080p and as the legion go is 1600p screen I get an even better experience

For 2 hours ... Deck can run this for 8-10

@@hk6926 it can run longer when streaming as it doesn't need to be on high tdp so I can get near deck times as ps5 is doing most of the work tbh. But yeah I just didn't like the look of the steak deck I preferred how the legion go looked but both great devices I don't care about the "war" between better or not as long as the person buying it likes it

I got excited and checked. They are out of stock

@@acecalderon8376 don't worry they'll be in stock again, I saw them in stock 3 days ago

@@acecalderon8376bummer you missed it they were actually in stock for a few days this time

Yeah I thought I got a steal when I bought the Deck new and now seeing what they’re going refurbished and on marketplace, they’re an absolute bargain.

​@@acecalderon8376the 256gb is in stock for me it's 319.99.

I believe so but it might be more than that since I am able to read and write files on it, just some movies won’t show up or I can’t rename something. It’s odd and I can’t reformat the drive cause there’s a lot of stuff I don’t want to lose on it.

Hahaha thanks, yeah this one was in the oven for quite a while. Respect for at least making a montage, Aperture Desk Job is underrated. I need to get back into Horizon: Zero Dawn

Ok, thanks for the insight. I was lost for a bit, flatpacks seemed to work best if I couldn’t find it in the AppStore and now I know why. And yeah in terms of modding it seems like it’s as I thought, possible but difficult at times.

Haven’t tried it yet since I don’t use GeForce now, I’ll update if I do though.

Hahaha I’m not there yet, I still have moments where I’ll miss windows though Linux has done surprisingly well compared to what I expected. Glad to hear it’s been working well for others, but man I miss wallpaper engine.

damn dude, I'm planning to get a steam deck as a main rig. How does the SD fare when it comes to productivity like printing, photo/video editing (although I know there are linux alternatives to editing programs) and generally how "natural" does it feel to be used as a productivity device? Personally I'm planning to use it obviously as my main gaming rig but since I live with my girlfriend and she's in college, I'll also be letting her use it for school stuff.

@@salocin9009there is a kde extension for wallpaper engine but not all features are implemented so you will have some wallpapers that do not render correctly

Linux has been ready for many many many years.

Totally fair, especially if you play competitive multiplayer games like Valorant that have unsupported anticheat on Linux. Until then there are windows alternatives that trade convenience for compatibility.

You can't properly run Windows on the Steam deck OLED due to lack of drivers. The LCD version is a different story however, but you end up losing if you want to use it for handheld gaming as Windows just isn't good for that purpose compared to SteamOS.

The original plan was to dual boot but as mentioned at the end of the video I fell in love with SteamOS and found I was able to get by on Linux alone. So far so good and I’ve saved a lot hassle and storage compared to if I did go with windows.

@@salocin9009 Hi, you can also boot from USB-C. My USB dongle has a housing for a 2280 NVMe. Note that the Steam Deck always tries to boot from the internal NVMe, so you must start the Deck using the Boot Manager. You can also hooked up an eGPU (in my own an RX6800) that only works over OCuLink with Windows and AMD GPUs or also with ChimeraOS.

It's the 27 inch Apple Cinema Display, they can be had used for pretty cheap nowadays and still have better displays and speakers than similarly priced new monitors.
