Yes, increased minimum 1% FPS lows. This can be felt between a 7940HS (limited 15W-22W TDP) laptop with DDR5-5600 and a 7840U (also limited 15W-22W TDP) with LPDDR5-6400/7500. Although the 7940HS can make up for the performance drop simply by defaulting to 35W-54W TDP.
What's important now is what kind of panel they're planning to use. If it's a HFR landscape OLED panel, it can compete hard with the Steam Deck OLED (with default SteamOS) and the ROG Ally since the other handhelds exhibit problems with Windows 10/11 and their portrait panels.
EDIT: It is...
This is 100% doable. You look goofy at first but if you try any of these new generation AR glasses (I tested the Xreal Air), it really can take the place of a normal laptop screen for general use.
I had minimal blurry on Windows 11 windows and other UI elements, and I technically have bad eyes...
Looks to be $39.99 (compared to their 6-in-1 which is $29.99). Not a bad price.
The only disadvantage is that it's not firmware updatable like the original Steam Deck Dock, but that is negligible.
LocalAI exists for this type of case. I'm all for AI as long as there is a way to limit it to local runtime and not report any telemetry outside of the network. Much like what the NPU major use case is on the photos and camera apps on smartphones since 2017 (and even before that with the GPUs).
Nah, they won't because MSI and ZOTAC just released their blower-type RTX 4070 Supers and 4070 Ti Supers with the connector in the back as well.
Loud as heck, but seriously useful in a rackmount cluster.
AP201 is the most popular once mATX case. I got mine for $30 (using the TikTok code back in late 2023) and it really is easy to build in. It even supports standard size ATX PSUs.
I wish ASUS made a AP201 that accepted a standard ATX/E-ATX motherboard though. I would be sold on that.
While 24 GB is still good (4/8 GB can be dedicated to UMA while still having 20/16 GB for system RAM) for a device like this, they should've have just gone to 32 GB for a proper dual-channel configuration, although that doesn't matter much with embedded/soldered RAM.
You should be able to disable the MyASUS and Armoury Crate installer within the UEFI/BIOS for most of ASUS' newer motherboards. If the option is not there you gotta update the BIOS.
ASUS was able to replace my ROG Ally last year (Nov-Dec 2023) through an RMA due to the failed SD card reader...
