If that chipset has the same issues my Arc a750 has, don't count on being able to play older games.

Being an XE gpu, it most certainly will.

But Intel seems to be making real strides into older game compatibility with each driver update.. I wonder how your GPU and this handheld could possibly improve with time.

My thoughts exactly, Intel are still trying to break into the gaming market with their graphics, but they have a long history of failing at this.

I might be mistaken, but these Intel based machines might be better for switch emulation, as they share dedicated hw for the particular form of texture decompression they use. One cool potential upside

Why are there only two handheld PCs with touchpads?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Drivers, probably. Valve did the heavy lifting with the Steam Controller and Steam Input. Other manufacturers don't have a controller abstraction layer they can integrate that into

This is the first time I’ve seen “Steam deck” used for a non-Valve device. Gaben may have made the next Kleenex or Bandaid

The same old, tired and stupid control layout and no trackpads. How do you even begin to make a PC handheld and not offer any mouse cursor controls? All the Steam Competitors do is up the specs to stupid numbers and appeal to familiarity. It's both disappointing and something should've expected.
