Why would you take a screenshot of a photo?

Watt for watt, its Z2 Go chip simply can’t compete with the Steam Deck, and it’s far weaker than the Z1 Extreme in last year’s handhelds. That’s inexcusable at the $730 price you’ll currently pay for the Windows version, and I won’t be the first reviewer to say so. But with this less efficient chip and a mere 55 watt-hour battery, I worry the Legion Go S isn’t a good choice at all.

Saved you having your data collected by the Verge’s 874 data brokers.

Yes I can read, thank you.

So Android is getting Dynamic Island but without the giant crater in the display.

Almost no one officially supports Linux. Much less Microsoft.

It says “in reaction to tariffs” right in the title, bud…

It’s not only possible, its what lots of browsers have been doing for years. That and just randomizing non-essential data points like system fonts, languages and operating systems.

…what does a “hunch” have to do with anything? Or objective reporting? I haven’t accused anyone of not being objective.

Okay, so you were REALLY saying, “Why is this surprising?”

No that’s not what I was saying. News is supposed to be informative. Reporting that water is wet is not informative. Everyone already knows.

You should really cool it with the caps lock, you read like a deranged individual.

You very clearly knew what I meant…

The fact tariffs are doing what tariffs do is not news.

Why is this news

Okay but does it work? Looked it up on launch and the reviews were chock full of crashes and bugs.

It’s not the only option, just the best option.

Are you under the impression that Linux devices aren’t PCs?

Yes but also #3 is closely tied to #1.

The biggest advantage Steam has over other platforms:

1. They’re not publicly-traded, meaning they are inclined to look out for long-term success vs. short term profits.
2. Steam is already on their systems, and may have been for 20+ years. Nobody wants a dozen fucking game launchers and Steam already has virtually every game in existence available there. Not to mention the “community” features, friends lists, etc. Every other platform is simply too late.
3. They have 20+ years’ experience learning what gamers want and implementing it.

Amazon could probably compete with them if they really wanted to, but that would involve a large, long-term, consumer-centric investment, which probably isn’t a good use of their money.

Sadly, this means all my Linux and FOSS implementations I’ve worked on

Oh I see. Check the display settings? The little settings wheel on the right before you launch the app?
