I Built My Own Steam Deck!
As the finale for the ZenDeck series, I decided to wrap everything up with a condensed version of the entire project from start to finish to make it easier to follow for newcomers to the channel!
If you enjoyed this video and want more details about any individual aspects of the project, make sure you check out the rest of the videos in this series and feel free to ask questions in the comments!
I've got a fair bit of tidying up to do of the files, but I'm aiming to have the project up on github by the end of this year!

Now that the NucDeck is complete, I needed a safe way to take it places so when tomtoc asked me to review their Arccos-G47 Travel Bag I jumped at the opportunity. This bag is designed for larger handheld gaming devices such as the Steamdeck, ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go. But will it fit the slightly unusual shape of the NucDeck? Tomtoc also offers a two year warranty if you register your p...

    for the record that activation overlay on the bottom actually takes up a good amount of gpu to render it on top of things. Linus tech tips showed proof of this.

    I build my own Steam Deck, handheld, whatever. I think its Superior to any otehr handheld out there and this is the only reason i even started this small project, i had Legion Go, I had OneXplayer X1 AMD, 11inch handhelds and they sucked, even with Thunderbolt attached GPU they still sucked, onexplayer has oculink, so i managed to make it more powerful without thunderbolt issues, but to play games i needed 2 cables, charging and oculink [which is wide, stiff cable with limited run, maximum 1meter long] So when i got a modded OLED switch from aliexpress, i tested Sunshine and then it hit me: I Sold legion go I returned onexplayer to aliexpress [they have 90 days return windows, suck on that amazon] I returned hacked Switch to Aliexpress too I ordered on sale a mini PC with 8845H soc, it has USB 4.0, Oculink and DUAL gen 4.0 NVMe [very few mini PCs offer both oculink and dual NVMe] Oh and it has external antenna so WiFi signal can be boosted and WiFi card replaced, but i disabled WiFi and went with 2.5Gb Ethernet. I already had Oculink dock and 4060Ti and i had the latest gamesir stretchy gamepad And the last part of this hgandheld puzzle is to get BIG size but not heavy [I have ipad M1 12.9 and i tested it as handheld, i got tired fast] I got ipad pro 11inch M4, it has OLED and supports 120hz and most important unlike MOST handhelds has HDR, INSANE HDR with Dual OLED screens I found chinese slim case for ipad pro that has build in routed 10gbps cable, so the USB-C port routed inside the case from its right side to bottom, this way when i have stretchy gamepad on, i can still charge or plug USB-C audio So the miniPC + 4060Ti has Sunshine ipad pro has moonlight Gamnepad dongle is pluged into mini PC to save on latency, audio i either use wireless also pluged into mini PC, or ipad speakers or wired USB-C headphones, but i prefer the dongle into mini PC this way i get virtual surround, dolby atmos for headphone This is the best handheld, for YEARS to come, 11inch screen, dual OLED, has HDR, the miniPC has oculinked 4060Ti that next year can be easily upgraded to 5060 or 5060Ti depends on benchmarks [or AMD card, i dont mind] ipad pro is so pixel dense that it doesnt need 2K resolutions, 1080p for standard games or native ipad pro resolution for games that support such non standard resolutions is more than enough Nvidia has RTXHDR that is better than AutoHDR on windows, every game can be streamed in HDR mode even if they dont support, even emulated games Some emulators can run from ipad, PSP emulator does maximum render, i think 8K or something, whatever maximum option runs fast on ipad, many people on dekstop PCs cant even do x6, so ipad is far from trash

    You know what I really want/need? A very small device that I can plug into my modem or router via a standard Cat6e cable, and it'll give me a speedtest reading. That's it. That's all it has to do. The NIC should be at least 2.5gigbit, max and if it was battery powered & PoE powered that would be a huge bonus.

    Know what would be really crazy? A discrete GPU in one of those things. You can sacrifice an NVMe slot and get a pcie adapter(m.2>pcie), or even use thunderbolt if one's got it. Heck even an MXM GPU...., could all be cool. Would probably have to be steam deck x Nintendo DS type of design though

    I feel that using the trackpads compresses the joysticks and d-pads into inconvenient positions. I would prefer to have virtual trackpads like PS Portal. I think PS Portal's grips are better and the joysticks in better positions, but for my girlfriend who has shorter fingers it would suit her better to have joycons like the switch. I hope I helped so you can improve your design even more! Good luck with your amazing project!
