Dual Pads - check
Ergo bumps on back of case - check
Not Intel - check
Symmetrical Sticks - check… but not like this - the center of gravity will still be out of whack and you’ll get sore wrists after a while. They need to be up top, like the WiiU Gamepad and SteamDeck. (somehow Nintendo got worse between WiiU > Switch, Switch is terrible for ergo all round)
I'm not too familiar with the handheld PC space, but one thing that stuck out to me was the IR webcam. I wonder whether that will enable some neat things in the same vein as the Nintendo Switch's IR sensor.
Nintendo special features are pushed by Nintendo into its software… PC developers aren’t going to invest into something maybe one customer in 10000 will use
Not a fan of whatever that D-pad is. I’m also curious about the battery life.
Thrilled to see twin touchpads though.
The more handheld PCs get made, the more I become aware of just how ahead of the curve Steam was with their deck design. I actually thought it looked gaudy as hell when it launched, but since using it, I can’t get over just how unexpectedly handy anything is. I just wish there were better haptics, since I’m kind of a sucker for that kind of stuff.
Those Touchpads look awkwardly small, besides that though it sounds interesting. I wonder if it will be compatible with Steam OS since it seems like valve is pushing to support the competition with it
The Steam Deck was literally designed as a proof of concept to try and bootstrap the industry. This device is not competition, this device is exactly what Valve are hoping for, and obviously many others like it. Valve want to sell games and so therefore they want hardware manufacturers to create more devices that they can sell more games on. They also want to do it free of Microsoft’s tendrils and their control.

Please stop putting RGB on everything? Can we return to the cool colored plastics for a bit and see what modern technology can do? I bet you could do some wild shit with modern plastics.
