AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 series CPUs finally make their way into a proper handheld gaming PC.
I don’t get why these articles never seem to address that the main thing about the steam deck is the price (and obviously performance and quality at that price)—nothing will rival it unless it hits the same price point.
This new handheld looks interesting for sure, but if it’s priced like all the other steam deck alternatives, it’ll be as successful as the rest of them

I agree. These Steam Deck competitors all seem to do more or less the same thing: Beef up the hardware, slightly bump the battery capacity. I don’t know how many people are realistically doing intense gaming for an hour before they have to recharge their handheld, but maybe these companies see a market there.
Their stuff is very expensive in comparison.
The thing is that nobody can realistically offer those prices. You have to sell the hardware at a loss and have alternative revenue source to subsidize it. That’s what Microsoft did with Xbox and what Valve did with Steam Deck.
