Likely to be announced at CES 2024.

    In my opinion, the fact that so many of these competing devices run windows just ruins them out of the gate. The fact that you can cleanly suspend and resume games on the Deck is its best feature by a mile, and I’ve yet to see any windows-based device manage to even come close to doing that reliably.

      yeah if it runs windows then to me its not a steamdeck competitor.

      Yep, I think they need to get SteamOS on these if they want to compete. Windows is simply not good for devices like this, at all.

      reliably

      SD doesn’t really do it “reliably” either, in my experience. Half the time it powers back on with massive frame drops and crackling audio until I restart the entire system. And I know it’s not just me.

      But otherwise I agree.

        I’ve seen momentary stutters (like 2-3 seconds worth) until it catches up, but I’ve certainly never had anything as bad as you describe. What sort of games are you playing? Wonder if some of them just perform better than others.
