That front facing camera makes me nervous. Windows comes with enough virtual bloat, I don’t need physical bloat in the form of nigh useless hardware.

So the dual trackpads are interesting. I use my right trackpad on my Steam Deck all the time for more mouse centric games. I appriciate that ZOTAC included them, but the execution is key here.
Personally, I have two steam decks in my house and I'm extremely satisfies with them. I dont think a new handheld will make me switch until we get another generational improvemnt in terms of battery or power.
I love that the market has so many options! Steam, Asus, Lenovo, MSI, Zotac, AYANEO, AYN, GPDWin, or even the chaper linux retro consoles! its fucking awesome. In a few years we'll see who really sticks with it, but for now, we're in a little handheld revolution. Enjoy it while we can.
They must have been reading the comments to every other handheld. Every time a new one is announced, the Steam Deck's trackpads are mentioned as a selling point.
Another nice thing is the Hall effect joysticks, but that 120Hz display seems like overkill to me.
The price makes for a tough sale though.
It would be weird if they were listening to criticism of other handhelds and still went with windows.
Looks kind of cool but the price is yuck. That a6running windows? Really? I can't see that being good without some major tweaks.
