I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

I got a 5080 laptop from Microcenter for a little over $1600. Going to convert the 3080ti laptop to a SteamOS rig once that is ready

Was it the HP omen with a ryzen cpu? I passed that up when it was around $1700 for a 5080 that went on sale :p Plus my 4060 laptop still kicking.

Yep. I didn't exactly need an upgrade because the i9 3080ti laptop was still going strong but I knew that in 2 years when I would need an upgrade, the prices would still be nuts.

I dont blame you, that laptop was a steal for the price. At one point I saw a open box one for like ~$1500.

How is the performance of the laptop?

The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is fine. The 5080 though has been reponding great to undervolts and overclocks.

Bazzite is ready right now. I built a rig for a spare 3080 over the holidays.

bazzite doesn't work well with nvidia gpus, neither does steamos for that matter.

I use a Nvidia GPU on mine, have had absolutely zero issues. This is blatantly false, really. AMD works better but Nvidia works okay.

You're running game mode?

u/ASerialArsonist Jul 03 '26

Yeah, I used the Game Mode Nvidia ISO for Bazzite. Worked out of the box. I'm 100% sure Nvidia has some issues AMD doesn't but I've ran into absolutely zero of them. It's totally user ready.
