2-5 more months. Glad to hear that the fan whine was taken care of in the latest beta update. That might have been a deal-breaker for me. What's the Resetera consensus on the fan noise/temperature? Seems positive from what I've read on other sites.
Fan noise was my biggest complaint. After beta update I would compare both fan noise and heat to the switch if you have one.
Playing DMC5 for over an hour the fan is barely / kind of noticeable with volume on a low setting.
Indie games (loop hero) or older pc games / new ports of older games (Ni No Kuni) the fan isn't noticeable at all.
Emulation varies. Anything newer like PS3 it cranks. But older stuff like PS2 or lower fan and heat is minimal at best.
I love the Deck. I haven't touched my Xbox Series X or switch since it arrived…and probably won't until Xenoblade Chronicles 3 drops on Switch.
If I can somehow emulate Mac OS9 and play my old Mac games on the Deck, it will be the complete package for me.
