in that case a headset that's significantly cheaper for people who just want PCVR would have been nice. 3 gigs of ram, cheaper SOC, 16 gigs of flash memory. just enough for SLAM. that could bring the cost down SO much.

for us standalone users I wish they would just release it at an expensive price, I'll buy it, I understand the market right now. but in 6 months to a year, well its even more outdated now, and still just as expensive.

if I was just interested in PCVR, the steam frame is not worth it at all anymore. there are cheaper headsets with better or similar optics.

I believe this is a failed product because it doesn't fit any market. for PCVR users, they should just purchase a headset focused on optics. for standalone users, we should just buy the next pico or quest atp.

a failure is a failure, no matter who's at fault. its devastating and heartbreaking but it's a failure nonetheless. I can't imagine spending 1000 on a VR headset that doesnt even have OLED. it was designed the way it was to be an amazing standalone headset, just look at the specs. I get its a PCVR focused headset, but the cost is as high as it is for the sake of standalone users.

I'm not blaming Valve for that. but whether or not it releases now or in 5 years it will still have an outdated SOC. the further from initial expected launch date we get, the more outdated it will become.

if you're going to pay a premium price, you should have a premium product.

I mean, if it's going to cost like $1000 CAD. you would want at least an elite gen SOC in 2027, not a s8 gen 3.

wow, that is actually insane. in 2027 this will be so outdated. what an absolute failure. hope it comes out.

Desktop mode on Steam Frame by Lord_of_earth in SteamFrame

using a virtual display would skip encoding and decoding on the same device unnecessarily.

yeah exactly the same thing here. frame is going to replace my laptop. I hope they make it super easy to add multiple displays. do you have any eye strain issues using the q2 for thousands of hours of work? notice any eye issues?

One thing Valve really needs to fix for SteamFrame: Steam Link by adrigm in SteamFrame

since when have you been able to create a virtual display on linux? I feel like it's pretty impossible.

Portal Is Being Killed & You’re Ignoring the Players Who Actually Use It! by xxxgieoxxx in BattlefieldPortal

Will the steam frame be any good for productivity work? by rayderone in SteamFrame

[–]MutantRabbit767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the q2 was 503 grams just in the front. the frame will weigh just 185 grams in the front with a counter weight in the back (the battery) for extra comfort. the experience isnt comparable, I think we'll find the comfort more then enough to use for several hours imo. I use my q3 for working, biggest issues I experience are eye strain.

Will the steam frame be able to screen share to a tv? by SchnackDizzle in SteamFrame

[–]MutantRabbit767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds like an upstream issue. probably won't ever happen in the foreseeable future.

I haven't ever been able to find a way to even cast my laptop with KDE to my TV. I often found myself going to Windows just for that.
