I love my deck because

  • it can play Steam games fairly well
  • it can play emulated game really well
  • but most importantly it's a linux computer, I can browse the web, watch a movie, even be productive on it, and I sometimes don't even need to plug in a mouse and keyboard or an external screen !

But I was wondering what kind of uses other people have with it, as a non gaming machine?

I have the AMD 13 and it's fantastic. It's even solid for gaming as well and can handle some things the Deck can't.

Is that the AMD dedicated graphics card? I’m getting the graphics card. Hoping to be able to run ML stuff on there such as Stable Diffusion.

How long does it take to arrive usually? Is there a calendar or timeline for each batch?

No, my Framework 13 is integrated only but it is still significantly more powerful than the Steam Deck. I haven't really done any ML stuff so couldn't tell you.

Mine was quoted as Q4 2023 when I ordered it and shipped by the end of November.
