This market must be completely saturated at this point. How can there be a need for so many $600-$1200 handhelds strictly for gaming?

I get them selling larger screen handhelds, but with all of the new CPU launches yet another 8c Z4/12CU RDNA3 handheld seems like a waste. Seems like these would have been a prime target for Z2E/HX 370.

I really wish they had a touchpad, unless they figured out a really good overlay that works flawlessly with the controllers, and doesn't require mouse or keyboard inputs.

I would be interested in trying the 11" model. However, These price points seem very out of line for what is now considered old hardware. I suspect the Legion Go is superior on the 8" model and cheaper.

The 11" looks very nice. But I don't use the handhelds I already have very much. Still......

I am interested in a 11" but anything over 1lb is too heavy as a handheld. 2.31lb is nuts. I have had several 360 notebooks and anything over 2lb spend 99% of their time in clam shell mode.

But what if we created some kind of arm slings that could support the weight. You could connect it to the ceiling, get your arms into position, and hold the handheld (don't drop it)

16Gb RAM? No dice.. Better to go the MSI Claw 8+ or ROG Ally X
