  You’re probably right on the battery, as this thing has a tiny (compared to its screen and res) battery of 55wah

    Such an Acer move to put a tiny battery in such a big (relatively) power hungry device. That’s what I hate the most about cheap PC manufacturers.

    My next question is is this going to be built like an Acer as well?

    iPads are ridiculously fast

      Yea? Are the graphics of the ipad that good? They have iphone level chips right (except for the pro ones, but those are like $1000+)

        They have laptop level chips right now

        There is no more iPad, just pro and air, and the newest air has an M2 chip, though it’s a bit handicapped with one less GPU core

        That being said, no, an M2 chip on an iPad Air is nowhere near dedicate GPU hardware like on these handhelds.

        As you said, maybe once you get into iPad Pro ranges with the M4 chip, but at that price point it’s way more.

      If an iPad ran SteamOS, it would choke on running out of memory before Steam was done loading.

      Thats both true and not really relevant, considering the iPad’s game library.

        That’s why it is so frustrating, the OS sucks
