the cheaper white is using the Steam Decks processor. Same specs. Yes the Steam Deck can go above 15w with a tweaked bios.

Kinda messed up they plan on launching a system thats already on the verge of not being able to play the latest games

i said years ago, the deck can be good as a streaming client and/or remote control for capable pc

it was never great for the latest games, but could play at lower/mixed settings
or stream from host at higher settings

if you have not used remote play, it works really good, <1 frame behind host pc on local wifi, or add a frame or two if at a location where ping is <40ms

Personally, streaming should be a bonus. Not the main feature. I wpuldnt pay anything above 100 for a streaming only device

the biggest issue is that i got most of my x series x games on disc and backwards compatibility is also disc based.

There's a new xbox? Lol...it's not 1990 anymore, PCs now can do fast scrolling and 3d!
Which used to be the thing consoles had the advantage in... but... since Commander Keen and co, well...
The PC can do it, bro... it can. It can really really scroll 2d really good, and do 3d too. No worries! You can just get a PC and enjoy games AND workstation fun.

It’s not using the SteamDeck’s APU; nor is it the “same specs”

Not really no, it’s a co-branded Asus ROG Ally / Ally X with what seems to be a slightly modified Windows OS that boots to an “Xbox” UI.

So basically a computer with the Xbox UI? So PC Xbox? Got it.

Its literally running the same gpu generation, same cpu generation, similar tdp and very similar clocks. The Z2A is the steamdeck apu. Im even going to bet the "A" stands for Aerith.

Steam Deck
CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz
GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz
TDP: 15W

XBox AllyX
CPU: Zen4 8c/16t 3.3-5.1GHz
GPU: 12 RDNA 3 CUs, 2.7GHz
TDP: 25W Batt max, 30W plugged in.

No where near the same chip, a simple bit of reading shows that.

A bit more reading would do you good mate. Theres two versions coming out. Youre comparing the "top end, no average person would buy" version. Im not discussing that model

Here's me fixing it for you

Steam Deck
CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz
GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz
TDP: 15W

XBox Ally (Non X since you cant research)
CPU: Zen2 4c/8t 2.8-3.8GHz
GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs
TDP: 15W-20W

Yes, the steam deck can go above 15W im holding the proof in my hands. Yes the steam deck cpu can also clock up to 4ghz

Essentially, a Windows PC is an xBox.

i will not buy a console that only gets games through the internet. wether discs or cartridges is not relevant but, some physical medium is bare minimum for me to buy a console. specially since i have a lot of my xbox games(xbox, xbox 360, xbox one and xbox series x) on disc.
