Pretty meh performance per watt uplift all things considered and since it has the same battery capacity as the steam deck, you would probably want to run it at 15 watts most of the time. The rest of the features are great though, especially the 120hz display and the fan noise along with the very competitive price. But it is lacking the crucial suspend and resume function that the steam deck has, The quality control on those buttons is a bit worrying however. |
I'm seeing comments across reddit, youtube and twitter that are all talking about the lack of suspend/resume feature and it being the biggest deal breaker to them.
Perf uplift or not, the battery being the same is bad, meaning juicing the system to outperform the deck, means you're draining more batter, which means you're plugging yourself to a socket, which defeats the entire purpose of a mobile device.
basically you either juice yourself to less than an hr's experience, or you stay at the Deck's level and still have no S/R feature. Either way I see that device being utterly dead in the water compared to the Deck (and afaik, that device is mainly Windows, not Steam oS, so it's going to miss out on features that can and will come with that OS down the line, so they have to rely on MS to somehow ante up Steam oS).
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
