The thing runs Windows so it’s not a Steam Deck competitor… It’s a has-been at launch.
Windows is absolute garbage for a handheld gaming device. When are these manufacturers going to learn and just ship the things with Linux?

Seems like a no-brainer to make a better device and save money on licensing costs.
