Hurray, one more un-innovative Steam Deck clone.
I’m cool with that, more choices is better, even if they’re fairly similar.
Yup. Most smartphones are very similar, yet I am happy it's not just one Samsung out there.
I agree, but as a mobile dev I wish they'd leave the OS alone instead of "optimizing" it, creating new exceptions to the rule and edge cases in the process...
This one looks like my wife could actually hold it too.
The deck is great, but it's definitely bulky and heavy.
As a SteamDeck owner I must say it doesn't feel heavy at all and the weight is really well balanced, but yes it's quite bulky compared to a Nintendo Switch or Switch Lite for exemple.
It looks larger than a Steam Deck to me? Especially looking at the bezels, assuming the screen is the same size.
As long as it brings down prices of others, competition is good.
I mean it'd be a lot cooler if they made something that actually brought something new to the table...
Hey at least this one seems to have trackpads
Wider adoption of handheld PCs is nothing but good news for gamers. Especially if those PCs are running Linux.
