Switch Lite killer incoming
>$260
>AMD Mendocino
Hardware wise it's like a Steam Deck but with only 2 RDNA2 compute units instead of 8. I am going to play SO MUCH garbage from before 2013 and indie games on this.
Chinese handhelds golden age is upon us

Who the fuck is Mendocino?

Also, it's got RGB gamer LEDs. Get owned, decklets.
AMD is trimming up the Steam Deck's APU for things like chromebooks and other low power budget devices, it's great

PC handhelds are what i would like from a PSP3

Eh, I'm asking that because AMD has been naming their consumer chips after Renaissance artists and sculptors and whatnot. Mendocino isn't an artist or sculptor. The Epyc chips are named after locations, but this clearly isn't an Epyc chip.

Hardware wise it's nothing like a Steam Deck because it lacks the input flexibility mandatory for playing PC games.
This doesn't compete with Steam Deck or Switch, it competes with entry level chink phones and tablets you can use for emulating.

Any handheld gaming device competes with other handheld gaming devices
They're not all on the same level but they're part of the same market and influence each other

This looks interesting, considering that it's likely to be about 50€ cheaper than the Steam Deck (after shipping and VAT), but comes with the obvious downsides of worse controls, less support and unreliable warranty. It's nice that there are alternatives, even if worse, that aren't double the Deck price, though.
Brayden Hughes
most Steam Deck players use the standard physical controls
yes this Chinese thing is junk but let's be serious
Bentley Cox
what the fuck is this? its basically an overpriced smartphone.
Michael Miller
Never buying chink shit again. learned my lesson.

And half of the Deck's size
Not everyone wants a comically large handheld the size of a skateboard for portable gaming
Brayden Young
If you weren't born in the 60-70s everything you have ever bought is chinkshit retard

>Right analog stick lower than switch's
Get enough cramps from nintendo shit in handheld mode
Levi Powell
Let me rephrase it, not buying anything that doesn't pass CE and NF certifications.

> Switch BTFO by chink junk.
What a timeline.

>Cheap junk
Implying the overpriced children's toy of the switch is any better
Jayden Peterson
At least the switch won't explode and catch fire

Someone earlier posted this image of the Aya Neo Next Pro at a price of $1665.
The best thing about the new lineups is that it murders these gouging ultra high priced handhelds.
Ayn has a $239-299 budget range, a $489 to $649 mid tier which should handle all AAA stuff and the Loki Max at $775.
Aya has their own $249 to $299 budget range, their Aya Neo Air for mid tier and light AAA which starts at $550 and now the Aya Neo 2 Geek for AAA gaming which $699-799.
Then there is Anbernic and the Win600 though no price or specs on that yet.
These things will be more readily available next year so the OneXPlayer and Win3 will look like dinosaurs competing against them with their $1200 handhelds. Whatever GPD and OneX come up with next can no longer be $1000+ items unless they have absolutely insane specs. Who knows who will enter the market next too.
I remember only a short while ago people were saying Deck was the only possible option because no other company could make these things for less than x3 the price of the Deck. The gap is closing now and I am excited to see what comes next, especially when Steam OS officially becomes an option for all of these.

No, I wasn't implying that at all. I'm laughing at it.
