EXCLUSIVE: Lenovo is working on a Windows PC gaming handheld called the 'Legion Go'
Another Steam Deck, ASUS ROG Ally competitor enters the fray.
All these new handhelds with windows seem to have completely forgot how much of a failure windows has been on mobiles in the past (other than laptops and such). I know windows mobile was a whole different ui but isn't windows 10/11 even worse to use on small screens like this?
I really hope valve starts supporting steamOS for devices other than the deck soon so we can have the full deck experience including all the tweakable settings.
Is running windows os on these devices is a lot of resource overhead?
windows can be tuned to run fairly well, but we're talking lenovo here, and they do love their preinstalled crapware.
No thanks. We don't need more closed and bloated spyware, what we need is more open and privacy respecing OSes like GNU/Linux and devices using it like Steam Deck.
That's cool and all but I got my hopes on the Steam Deck still, simply because Valve cracked the "who needs Windows" nut
I second this. I'm planning to start switching my devices from Windows to Linux in a couple of weeks due to good experience I've had with the Steam Deck
At least this means that the PC handhelds seem to be lucrative and we can definitely expect a steam deck 2 or better competition.
Hardware makers making the same mistakes over and over again...
I'll say it louder for the kids in the back, "DON'T BOTHER MAKING CUSTOM GAMING HARDWARE WITHOUT A CUSTOM GAMING OS".
Regardless of how you feel about Windows, it is not fit for purpose. It's the wrong tool for the job.
If this form factor is here to stay, and hopefully it is, Microsoft will probably adapt Windows to it (also hopefully). SteamOS is very good though, can manufacturers not just use that?
