I think this is really the way going forward with portable gaming.

  • Lighter and smaller handheld
  • A large screen experience in a portable package
  • Privacy
  • Not having to hold the handheld device oriented to view it
  • Replaceable battery is a big plus too!

There is no mention of Linux as the OS but it looks as friendly to Linux gaming as any other AMD based handheld device beside the Steam Deck.

Anything that goes over my eyes is going to be a negative for me, and I'd assume many others. The second you take away my ability to see what's going on in and around me it becomes a difficult sell. Same with VR.

The Deck/Switch/whatever allows me to play my games on the on the sofa whilst my kids watch TV/run around. It allows me to play whilst my family is around me, which is important because if I'm going to essentially lock myself away, I'm just not going to want to play. Which was VRs issue.

Not to mention if you want to play in a public space, on a bus or a train. I can't imagine ever being comfortable with something that robs me of my ability to see what's going on in that scenario.

This would be better as an accessory to the steam deck (or other handheld).

I would buy it and play in bed when my kid and wife are asleep.
