-Fran- Less announcements, more products. That's the way you challenge AMD, Intel. Given I've been seeing people saying anything with these would be in the $2K territory makes me think "who cares?". Even GPD realised the market just does not exist over $1.4K. Regards. Reply

Notton I wasn't impressed with the pricing on MSI Claw w/ Lunar Lake when it did show up in the NA market. Heck, the clearance pricing on the OG A1M with Meteor Lake i5 135H wasn't impressive either, barely beating an RoG Ally X open box. Hopefully Acer can do better with that, though I have my doubts in rampocalypse SSDgeddon Reply
Gururu Still don't see the handheld options as viable. I could only really play the Switch on the TV. The screen is too small. All of them are ewaste. Reply

Yeah, even when I was 13 years old I refused to buy one. I got the Switch for my kid but cant play it off the TV because the screen is too small. In my youth I took a hard look at the game gear once but decided it was big screen or nothing. Reply

usertests 8W TDP-down, nice. I'm interested to see some comparisons to the usual stuff, but also to full Panther Lake. Can you just software disable P-cores to get a similar efficiency? Reply

Well, the trend seems to be really crazy: Some people seems to love playing games on 3 – 6 inch screens (that cost as much as a decent desktop!), while others (me included) will not touch a game on anything less than 32" – 50"+!

thestryker Looking forward to seeing how these perform in 15W and below especially. The 2 fewer P-cores and slightly lower peak clocks should mean more consistent performance across power limits. Handhelds based on these would likely be what I'd be looking at to replace my original Ally if it wasn't mempocalypse. Reply
