What are you basing "very dated" off of?

Low-TDP(25-40W) RTX 2050/3050 level of performance is top-end currently for gaming handhelds (that's basically what the Rog Ally and Legion Go perform at when using 30-40W), and would be about mid-tier in 2025, given that Strix Point handhelds are only going to be a half-tier upgrade (RDNA 3.5 vs. RDNA 3.) 

Hardly "very dated." More like middling for its release period. Which makes sense for what is likely a $400 MSRP platform released by a company that always tries to make a profit on its hardware. 

I don't expect a cooling fan in the dock. I'm expecting this to be just like what DF expected a  few months back, which we expected years ago in a pro version and steam deck 2 will probably smoke this in 2026.

Yes, and even if we assume Digital Foundry's more conservative (compared this thread's rumor) performance estimates that is still top-end for 2024 gaming handhelds, and would be middling for 2025 gaming handhelds. 

Sure, gaming handhelds released after the Switch 2 for the same or more MSRP will outperform it. Were you expecting something else? 

Middling for 2025 (when it releases) is by definition not "very dated".
