AI has just about killed the PC handheld market, anything half decent coming down the pipe will have crazy starting prices, like £1300 ($1500) or more.

Well, unless sales collapse for some inexplicable reason, which will panic Nintendos shareholders into forcing Nintendo into releasing a newer, more powerful product, it will last just fine.

...but I still won't buy one until there's an OLED version.

Patiently waiting for display ports to arrive that will support the necessary bandwidth for 6K 240Hz OLEDs, which should be in late 2027 or early 2028.

Until then I'll have to slum it with 4K 240Hz... 😁

Sony sure as hell wouldn't want people to see their games running at higher resolutions and framerates on Microsofts console hybrid,Helix. If as people are saying, it will be a fair chunk more powerful than what Sony have lined up for the PS6.

Their desktop GPUs were never going to survive the Nvidia tie up and the dysfunctional memory market simply put the final nail in the coffin.

Looks nice and I cant wait to play it...on my PC at 8K, 120fps, one day

Nothing in the long term but in the short term let me do offline installs of Windows without having to jump through ever increasingly absurd hoops.

At this point Microsoft is to financially invested in all this AI integration nonsense to make anything but the most superficial of changes.

Im just waiting for Nvidias Linux drivers to improve enough to make the switch from Windows permanent.

Even taking into account VAT that is some serious price gouging of the UK consumer at that price.

With a $260 US price tag, no way in hell should it be as high as £240.

@MattGPT

No way is worth a hundred notes more than G7 Pro and it doesn't even have Gyro controls which is a must for all things Nintendo emulation

Just the usual ASUS tax for the gullible E-Peen brand whores.

Let's hope they dont follow Lenovo on pricing....what is it now, $1500 for even the most basic Legion Go.

And if, as i assume, MSi will get first dibs on these, dont expect to see them at retail until Q1 2027.

DOA, relative to previous PlayStation launch numbers, if it costs more than £649 in the UK.

Those new Asus Zephyrus G series laptops with these new Panther Lake chips look quite tasty albeit probably costing close to $5K for the fully loaded G16, RTX 5090 variant.
