Oh my, what's the battery life on that? 10 minutes?

Actually in between 15 and 20 minutes for just the hardware, not counting the display etc.

Too bad its not easy from the various manufacturers to build your own handheld from scratch like a desktop tower.

(Lian Li, Corsair, Seasonic, Samsung, In Win, Logitech, Silverstone, Thermaltake, NZXT, Gigabyte, MSI, etc etc)

I'm not a gamer but this is pretty cool even if it requires a power cord tether

This is exactly what I wish the handhelds were. I don't really care for the AMD chips. I want Nvidia RTX and Intel. Raw power.

Yeah but you can downclock everything quite significantly and still get wonderful performance out of this.
I was playing around with my 4090 on my desktop and I turned my wattage all the way down to like 30% and it was still rocking and a rolling. Much less of course but I could still play all of my games just fine.
With the hardware that they have in the handhelds now you are stuck at the low maximum.
I'd rather start hi so I have the opportunity for full performance and then if I need to go on the go just down clock that baby.

Regarding the future as mentioned in the article, Nvidia and SteamOS can be perfect together. I hope Nvidia will consider this.

Oh definitely but you can’t turn the CPU and GPU combined down to the 15w needed to get somewhat decent battery life

Intel chips simply don’t provide peak gaming performance. I would t call that “raw power”.

Doubles as a hand warmer, no gloves required to play outside in the winter!
