runs Windows 11 software.

It's a no from me.

No touch pads.

It's a no from me.

The Legion Go is the only handheld besides the Steam Deck that has me interested for this reason

It’s such a weird decision for these devices, why purposefully gimp your product?

[–] hydroel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it's a safer bet than using SteamOS, all games are developed for Windows and you don't depend on another rival company for a game to run on your device.

You don’t need SteamOS you can use any other distro

It gives you better battery life and performance

You can also use your own implementation of Wine

And saying all games are on Windows is just incorrect

Why would you crowdfund for a device that's either the same or worse than anyone else makes, depending on your preferences?

[–] nottheengineer@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because by crowdfunding, you can ensure that it'll take longer to make than the competitor's next generation.

A good chunk are buyers who are going to put it on their shelf next to their Deck and Retroids.

How to make gaming hurt, what's with the hard corners?

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I think it's supposed to look kinda like a GBA, but it's also easier to make.

It's also easy to make fake mock-ups in case this kicker-stater machine doesn't actually exist.

This thing looks like it was designed by a 5 year old

To think someone could come up with an uglier handheld PC than the rog ally. No touchpads and windows too... The experience of dreams we all long for.
