I’m reasonably excited. I like the steam deck, and I’m off the opinion that we don’t need an updated version just yet. A slower moving target for developers is best for long term game compatibility.

But eventually a new steam deck will arrive, and it will likely use the latest CPU/GPU, which will likely benefit from this new frame generation technology.

And perhaps some benefits will trickle down to the current steam deck, or maybe not 🤷‍♂️

But still, I’m optimistic for the future of mobile gaming.

Thanks!

Ok that’s great to hear. Basically it functions perfectly fine so long as you aren’t stressing the system.

Nice research! Thanks!

That makes sense. I’m pretty sure all my chargers support voltages up in the 20s, I forget what the standard is. So perhaps that’s the main factor.

Thanks for your input!

Interesting, so perhaps it could be an issue. I’d be curious to find out!

Hmmm, well USB PD is pretty universal and I imagine that’s what framework uses?

18w is pretty low, I agree and I wouldn’t expect that to work. But the 13 inch framework uses a 65w power supply so it certainly seems in the realm of possibility. To me anyway.

I’d love to know if anyone has tried it

That’s fair. I figured as much. I’m still doing most of my couch computing on a 2016 Chromebook. It calls for a 45w charger, but I’ve used my 18w phone charger in the past. It complains about it, but it still slooowly charges.

I was hoping the framework would fare better on 65w.

Again, not a big deal, just a talking point. Easily solved problem. Just curious. Thanks!

Eh it works just fine 🤷‍♂️

Roads are 55mph here, seldom any traffic, so it’s more like 2 hours by bike. For us anyway.
