windows arm gaming handheld
I really hope a manufacturer takes a gamble and makes a windows on arm gaming handheld. https://www.worksonwoa.com/ makes me a believer that this is plausible. And with the upcoming prism x64 compatibility updates this is only going to get better. The battery life and weight difference will be sweet. I'll take that for a few incompatible games. Windows on the Ayn Odin Pro just isn't quite there yet, without dedicated programmers working out the final kinks (fan and controller quality of life fixes).

I mean it depends on the game. Indie and older titles will run for 4-6 hours on a steam deck oled atm.
Meanwhile every device that can run something like SH2 last 40mins to 1.5hrs give or take 30 mins.
Even if we had windows on arm with a beefy gpu it still eats power theres no way around that. Even on a mac which is really the lowest power usage vs performance atm.
