    The expansion of the more robust mobile gaming handheld sector. Systems like the ROG Ally and Steam Deck are an awesome new direction for gaming and I’m pumped to see that sector expand and mature.

      Just a crazy thought. Have you watched WWDC? The new development tools for conversion to native metal is so exciting. I was just thinking that I would totally buy a hypothetical M1 steam deck passively cooled huge battery. That’s s just a dream though haha.

        I haven’t seen it but the shift to ARM for heavy computing really excites me from a mobile gaming standpoint. Do somewhat worry about how emulating all our existing game libraries on a new architecture is going to work though.

      I was considering pre-ordering an Ally, but the battery life on it is a little underwhelming. I know it’s a similar capacity to that of the Steam Deck, but it packs way more computing power than what the Deck offers.

      I wonder if they put such a small capacity battery in it so it’d weigh less than the Steam Deck. I know ASUS was citing it’s weight as a selling point.
