Hopefully MSI will try something different but I get the feeling that's not happening. The Z1 extreme has largely been awful for handhelds. Yes you get more performance but you really only see it at 25 watts. If they put in a 40 Whr like everyone else, 1 hr battery is extremely bad as other components also use power on top. What's worse is that when playing small titles that aren't very demanding, the battery life is still not that great generally lasting 4-5 hours while Steam Deck Oled can last more like 8-10 hours. Hopefully next gen, AMD can really put some efficiency back into these chips at 15 watt.
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D now listed in Europe for €271, Ryzen 5 5500GT costs €134
Feels like that is too much as 7800X3D went on sale for $330 not very long ago.

Dell didn't get the message that ports are hip now?
I like how Dell put a sticker on its new XPS laptops to show what Microsoft's Copilot key will look like 🙃 https://t.co/47u0cwyzJT pic.twitter.com/4KkMOOPkez

Apparently Microsoft will be pushing OEMs to include this Copilot key onto their laptops and keyboards... A key that will be useless for anyone that won't use it.
