Shit tier article. No mention of OS.

It's not the article's fault, the full details of the device will be announced at CES. It's almost definitely Windows though.

On a side-note, I wouldn't be surprised if it's supported by Bazzite early on.

Sounds impressive, but it means nothing without knowing how much it costs.

Aside from that, the big question mark is how much power it'll use. Even though intel's new chips are way better than the old ones, the 155H still uses a lot more power than AMD. No point in a handheld if it'll get hot quickly and run out of battery in 40 minutes.

Why are there only two handheld PCs with touchpads?

[–] windowsphoneguy@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

Drivers, probably. Valve did the heavy lifting with the Steam Controller and Steam Input. Other manufacturers don't have a controller abstraction layer they can integrate that into

The same old, tired and stupid control layout and no trackpads. How do you even begin to make a PC handheld and not offer any mouse cursor controls? All the Steam Competitors do is up the specs to stupid numbers and appeal to familiarity. It's both disappointing and something should've expected.
