    Cool, the more Linux-based handhelds, the better! I would prefer a handheld with RK3588S, but this one is interesting too.

        Sure, but I usually run emulators and open source ports, so with an ARM I would have more battery life.

          No you wouldn’t. The Rockchips are far less efficient than AMD’s modern X86 stuff.

          AMD’s new stuff is on par with the M1 in efficiency.

            Even despite they require active cooling? Didn’t know, cool! Now the only downside is size.

              I don’t know if he’s correct on low power use cases, but the cooling is way more about the high power use cases.

              The steam deck can chew through it’s battery in ~2 hours or last something in the neighborhood of 8-10 depending what you run on it.
