The mere fact that NVIDIA Shield Portable didn't take off doesn't tell us much. It had poor design sensibility (i.e. it looked like ass, like some kind of portable Xbox designed in the early 2000s), and it ran Android, which lacks a compelling games library.

Steam Deck at least stands a chance, although I'm worried about the weight and the battery life.

The battery life is a straight up lie. 8 hours on a single battery charge? What game were they testing, Solitaire?

2-8hours.

If it can do low-resource gaming for 8 hours, its not lie. And honestly, thats not something too far-fetch.

The only one lying here is you, since its not even released yet for you to test the claim. Not to mention how you conveniently left out "2-" from the battery life range

What? Did you expect to run Cyberpunk 2027 for 8 hours on single charge this machine?
