what's the battery life of these beasts?
You can literally make a steam deck last 30 mins at minimum. Lol. I would say most users are getting 2 to 3 hours with reasonable settings. So many variables at play. Your best bet is to go in with realistic expectations.
Thanks all, of course, my comment was about 3D games. You don't buy a Steamdeck to play Mario Bros SNES or SuperMeatboy.
Speak for yourself, friend. Lots and lots of people bought it because it's so great for playing emulators.
There's lot of handheld more cheaper for such thing.
Cheaper doesn't mean better. There's also more expensive, which again doesn't mean better. There are no other amd64 handhelds with a working sleep function that I know of.
