Will the Xe graphics engine hold it back, though?

That is no "handheld" gaming PC LMAO.
Sure you can "hold" it but at 11 friggin inches you wont be holding it long or comfortably!

Intel chips with Intel graphics? Yeah that a hard pass here.
When they demo'd this was it running on integrated graphics or hooked up to external GPU?

With that screen size games are going to look terrible at the resolutions it will have to render at to get good frame rates.
Battery will likely die very fast too.
Processor is rated at 28 watts and we know Intel is very conservative with their ratings.

Terrible handheld gaming device IMO.

Until the tests are in, let's not simply expel hot air.

Additionally, let's hope that the SDCard slot keeps the card in place. I had to return my oneXPlayer 2 due to the card popping up. Same for a lot of other people (possibly not fixed with the 2 Pro).

Except for the price and the RGB on the back I like it. That you can use the gamepad on or off of the thing is a nice touch since with it's 11" screen it doesn't need to be held up to your face as much. Some people might prefer it laptop style with a separate gamepad. Some might not.

If they had it just be a 2 in one (tablet/laptop) and it cost $700 for 32B I'd be much more interested. I don't mind it being a little thicker for better cooling and battery. Those kind of go together.

Also cknobman has been living under a rock. But he is right about the lack of GPU power will be more apparent than with a smaller, lower resolution, dimmer screen where you can hardly see the details anyways. That's one of the tradeoffs you make with a better screen- details be they good or bad are more apparent.

The new Xe graphics seems to trade blows with AMD's 780m, and with expected driver updates it might get a tad faster

I used to own a GPD Win Max 2, with a 10 inch screen. That clamshell device is 1100 grams, this is 900 grams. The GPD pushed the limits of "handheld", but I still put a hundred hours of gaming thru it.

The Intel Xe graphics are now competitive with AMD's 780m from a performance perspective, but Xe might not be as energy efficient, based on laptop results. Lets wait and see what the new drivers and smaller form factor do to its efficiency.

I can hardly wait! Once they release them and I read some reviews, I might buy one, (Like I need another handheld.. they are fun). I am very curious how the battery holds up when gaming.

I love the picture of a guy in a suit playing games on a handheld.

This is basically just a Surface clone (albeit newer hardware specs) carrying close to the same price, but without the support behind it (Microsoft also charges a premium for Surface devices in the first place). They've added optional controls to the side which if they weigh anywhere near what the Legion Go's do will push total device weight up to around 1000g. This won't be a good handheld experience for any length of time doubly so if you're lying down.

The one thing it has that I think is pretty major is the built in OCuLink port. Technically OCuLink can be up to 8 lanes and if it became standard on laptop/tablets/handhelds I could see moving beyond the 4 of current implementations. However if this doesn't happen I suspect TB5 is going to end up being the way things go which will likely maintain the current price premiums.

I hate this form factor, love 11" laptops, wish there are more meteor lakes entering the old netbook size factor space.

ergonomics be damned! looks very uncomfortable to hold it

This is a dream product for me, so long as it doesn't have some weird design flaw.

I don't mind that it's thick. It has a 65Wh battery, and it's loaded.
I don't particularly care for the grips, but I like the 11" size. I'd like it better if it was a 7~8" screen, but I can live with 11" vs 14".
