With the release of Steam Deck and the continuous improvement of mobile processor performance, PC handheld consoles have gradually entered the attention of players in recent years. As a cross-border combination of handheld game consoles and game laptops, these products not only have much more radical performance than Switch, but can also seamlessly connect to players' existing PC game libraries, and are even compatible with community content such as mods and modifiers, bringing Steam Having games in your pocket is no longer a dream.

Although it looks great in theory, existing PC handheld consoles also have many shortcomings, the most important of which is that the overall price is relatively high. The Ryzen 7 6800U launched by AMD last year has remarkable CPU and GPU performance, but the hardware cost is not low. In addition, the cost of high-speed memory, SSD hard disk and mold opening necessary to achieve core display performance has led to many domestically produced Ryzen 7 6800U. The price of PC handheld consoles is already close to the level of mid-range all-in-one laptops.

For comparison, currently the only mainstream handheld console - Nintendo Switch, the OLED version is priced at less than 2,000 yuan, the battery life version is priced at around 1,600 yuan, and the Lite version is as low as 1,200 yuan It’s about 100 yuan, which is not proportional to the cost of PC handheld consoles. This situation makes people want to ask: Is there no cheap PC handheld game in this world?

That’s not the case. Today we are going to review these three PC handheld consoles for you: AYANEO 2021 Pro, GPD WIN 3 and 64GB version Steam Deck, these products are priced at only about 2,000 yuan on the second-hand market. After playing games legally in the office for so many days, let’s take a look at what these three products can do.

Appearance design

As usual, we start with the appearance design of the product.

At first glance, the AYANEO Pro 2021 with a black and white body is obviously the most eye-catching product among them. However, the ruthless years have made its body slightly yellow, and the workmanship of AYANEO's early products is even more difficult to resist. The seams of the product shell are very obvious, and the volume buttons and power button on the top of the body are not prominent enough. They are easy to spot at a glance. You can see the level of ingredients.

Let’s take a look at GPD WIN 3. As the relatively older one among the three manufacturers, GPD’s product design is indeed somewhat different. , with a relatively compact body, a symmetrical handle and a sliding keyboard design, the input experience is much better than the other two. However, the rough seams of the shell, the loose left and right shoulder buttons, and the touch keyboard that sometimes doesn't work, still remind you that this is a "factory" handheld machine.

As for the Steam Deck, the machine looks like a standard "brick" in appearance. To put it nicely, it is called industrial style. To be honest, there is almost no design. However, in terms of workmanship, Steam Deck may be the most organized among the three products. The shell is tightly fitted, the buttons feel solid, and the processing of body details is the most complete among the three.

Next, we put the three products together, and it is easy to see that Steam Deck＞AYANEO＞GPD WIN 3. If you add Switch and Switch Lite for comparison, the front size of GPD WIN 3 is similar to that of Switch Lite, the front size of AYANEO is relatively close to that of Switch OLED, and the Steam Deck is undoubtedly the largest of the three products.

Of course, these three products can only be compared with the Switch in terms of front size. In terms of body thickness, the three products Compared with the Switch, they are all outstanding. Among them, the GPD Win3 equipped with a sliding keyboard has visually surpassed the two Switches. The Steam Deck has thickened the handle part to ensure the feel, while the AYANEO is the relatively thinnest product.

And this is not the most exaggerated thing, the most exaggerated thing is their weight. GPD WIN 3 weighs 557 grams, AYANEO weighs 623 grams, and the Steam Deck weighs 669 grams. For comparison, Switch Lite weighs 275 grams, and Switch OLED only weighs 398 grams. In other words, the lightest GPD among them weighs as much as two Switch Lites, which is a big pity for a handheld machine.

Game test

In terms of hardware configuration, the GPD WIN 3 we have is equipped with an 11th generation Core i5-1135G7, four cores and eight threads, 2.4GHz main frequency, and the GPU is 80EU Xe core display; AYANEO is equipped with Ryzen 7 4800U, eight cores and sixteen threads, 1.8GHz main frequency, GPU is 8CU Vega 8h core display; while the Steam Deck is equipped with a customized APU based on Zen 2 and RDNA 2 architecture, and the CPU part is four cores and eight threads , 3.5GHz frequency.

Before the actual game, we first tested the three models with benchmark software. When the power consumption is limited to 15W and the power supply is connected, AYANEO's CPU score is very outstanding, and Steam Deck's RDNA 2 core obviously has excellent graphics rendering capabilities.

Of course, unlike Steam Deck, AYANEO and GPD have the ability to unlock power consumption. With a power consumption of 30W, the GPU running score of GPD WIN 3 has been significantly improved, and the multi-threading performance of AYANEO has been fully released, and the power consumption and heat of the whole machine will also soar.

Entering the game test, we will test the performance of the three devices at 15W, and AYANEO and GPD at 25W.

In "Cyberpunk 2077", we chose Steam Deck image quality, and the three devices were unable to play normally under both power consumption settings, which shows the depth of CD Projekt's optimization skills. Even after lowering the image quality, the three devices can still only run between 30-40 frames, and the experience is not good.

Let’s take a look at "Far Cry 6" again. At full low image quality, AYANEO and GPD are basically unable to play this game smoothly, even if they are adjusted The high power consumption of the whole machine can only play at about 35 frames, but the Steam Deck can reach about 48 frames without any settings.

In "Shadow of the Tomb Raider", we adjusted the three handheld consoles to the highest resolution and low image quality, AYANEO and The base frame rate of GPD is about 30fps, and after adjusting the power consumption, it can reach about 40fps, while the Steam Deck can remain at about 45fps.

In terms of racing, we specially selected an old racing game that has not passed Steam Deck certification-"F1 2020" for testing. As shown in the figure, because it has not been optimized, Steam Deck can only run to about 60 frames natively. However, this performance is already due to AYANEO and GPD under the same power consumption, and is only slightly inferior to their performance under full power consumption. .

The last one is the Sony exclusive game that everyone loves - "Horizon: Zero Dawn", AYANEO and GPD under low image quality It can stay at around 30 frames at most, and you can still play for a while. Although Steam Deck can run up to around 55 frames, it has a sudden crash problem. I hope the official can fix this kind of problem as soon as possible.

In general, thanks to the power of RDNA 2 core display, Steam Deck has almost formed a rival to the other two in terms of game frame rate. The crushing of products. Interestingly, although various brands of domestic PC handheld consoles have successively launched models equipped with Ryzen 7 6800U processors, their performance under the 15W power consumption limit may not be as good as that of Steam Deck.

Actual experience

For handheld consoles, in addition to the game frame rate, the overall hands-on experience is more important.

Let’s take a look at the system first. Although both AYANEO and GPD use Windows systems, there is still an obvious difference in the level of software focus between the two. AYANEO has its own customized game library software AYASpace and a complete supporting front-end AYA Quick Setup, allowing players to easily customize their own game library and adjust power consumption, fan, brightness and other settings in a timely manner during the game.

GPD に関しては、生産期間は十分に長いですが、ソフトウェアのエクスペリエンスは他のメーカーに追いついていません。 GPD には独自にカスタマイズされたゲーム ライブラリ ソフトウェアや設定フロントエンドはありませんが、ユーザーは Playnite/体性感覚アシスタント/電源コントロール パネルなどのサードパーティ ソフトウェアを使用して同様の機能を実現できますが、使いやすさは明らかに組み込みのソフトウェアに匹敵しません。アプリケーションで。

Steam Deck は、独自にカスタマイズされた Steam OS システムを使用しており、Arch Linux システムに基づいてカスタマイズされています。コントローラーの使用習慣に応じて、画面をすばやく一時停止したり、ゲームの進行を再開したりすることもできます。製品のアクティベーションにネットワークの問題はありますが、Steam Deck はあらゆる意味で従来の携帯型ゲーム機の意味に近い製品です。

次に使用感ですが、この3製品の中で一番使用感が悪いのは比較的小型のGPD WIN 3です。キーの配置により、プレイヤーは機体の背面を平らにし、機体の側面を斜めにすることで、両手の薬指と手のひらに大きな圧力を加えます。それだけでなく、このマシンにはキーボードとマウスのモード切り替え機能があるため、ハンドルが時々誤作動して非常にイライラします。

AYANEO に関しては、マシン全体の持ち心地は比較的普通ですが、ロッカーの可動範囲が狭すぎて、ドーム状のショルダーボタンを使用すると、ハンドルが断続的に故障するという問題がまだあります。何度も投げたあとに自分で調整して元に戻すこの感動も、携帯型ゲーム機のPCには欠かせない要素なのかもしれません。

ボタンとジョイスティックのエクスペリエンスだけで言えば、Steam Deck は 3 つの製品の中で最高の感触を持ち、リニア トリガーの速度制御も最高です。問題は、マシンの本体が大きすぎるため、手の小さい一部のプレーヤーはジョイスティックとボタンの両方の操作を処理できないことを意味し、ほとんどのゲームでは左右のタッチパッドが役に立ちません。

振動フィードバックに関しては、GPDとAYANEOが使用しているローターモーターは手が震える程度ですが、リニアモーターは使用されていますby Steam Deck は弱すぎるため、3 つの製品のパフォーマンスは Switch の HD 振動に及ばず、バランス ポイントを見つけるのが困難です。

サウンドパフォーマンスに関しては、3台とも聞こえるのみです。

もちろん、この小さな本体でPCゲームをプレイする場合、放熱は間違いなく問題になります。実測によると、3製品とも15Wでは発熱が少なく、機体の熱は主に背面と吹き出し口に集中しており、機体温度の上昇はハンドルのグリップ位置にはほとんど影響しません。ただし、30W に調整すると、GPD と AYANEO の本体温度が急激に上昇し、GPD のファンの騒音が少し耳障りになり、ゲーム体験に深刻な影響を及ぼします。

バッテリー寿命に関して、3つの製品のバッテリーサイズと充電電力は写真の通りです。実際のテストの結果、軽いゲームをプレイする場合、GPD と AYANEO の理論上のバッテリー寿命は 2 ～ 3 時間ですが、重いゲームをフル消費電力で実行する場合、Steam Deck は 4 時間以上に達する可能性があります。 1 時間以内に空になり、消費電力が比較的控えめなスチームデッキの方が当然長持ちしました。

スタンバイ消費電力に関しては、GPD も AYANEO も、現在の Windows システムのスタンバイ能力は誰の目にも明らかです。この場合、Switch と同様のスタンバイ体験を体験できるのは Steam Deck だけです。室温が 25°C の場合、一晩スタンバイすると、Steam Deck の電力は約 3% 失われますが、ロックを解除するとすぐにゲームの状態が復元され、素晴らしい体験が得られます。

まとめ

要約すると、2,000元台のPC携帯ゲーム機を体験したい場合、現時点ではSteam Deckがまさに最適な選択肢です。比較的整った本体デザイン、ホスト レベルのシステム エクスペリエンス、より強力なグラフィックス パフォーマンス、および比較的合理的な全体的な消費電力により、この製品はこの期間において最も問題が少なく、安心して使用できるモデルとなっています。

このテストで使用したSteamデッキには64GBのハードドライブしか搭載されていないのに対し、GPD WIN 3とAYANEO Pro 2021バージョンの両方には1TBのハードドライブが搭載されていることは注目に値します。つまり、より普通の体験をしたい場合は、容量拡張のために大容量SSDや大容量TFカードを購入する必要があるのですが、確かに国内メーカーのほうがハードディスクやメモリに関しては寛大です。

それだけでなく、Steam Deck の利点の多くは現在 Steam OS に基づいており、Steam OS 自体は exe プログラムを実行できません。つまり、多くのオフィス ソフトウェア、生産性向上ツール、Galgame は正常に動作しません。 。 Windows 11 システムを Steam デッキにフラッシュしない限り、GPU パフォーマンスが大幅に制限されたポータブル コンピューターになり、プレイヤーはジレンマに直面することになります。

それでは、結局のところ、これらの PC ハンドヘルド コンソールを購入することをお勧めしますか?

私の意見では、3A ゲームをプレイすることが目的であれば、正直言って、これらの製品の中で最高の Steam デッキであっても、3A ゲームを実行すると画質とフレームレートが低下します。まだ犠牲になっている部分が多く、比較的かさばる本体と相まって携帯性は非常に不満足です。通勤中の時間を潰したいだけなら、明らかにSwitchの方が良い選択です。
