The improvements on top of the original Ally are not bad. It would've been better to have it at an even 32 GB of RAM, but I guess thats for cost-cutting so they can put that 80Wh batttery in. They also implemented USB4 for the 2nd USB-C port instead of that dumb proprietary XG mobile connector...

Finally another two-slot 7900 XT and XTX. Aside from the Sapphire Pulse (which is unfortunately too tall), there doesn't seem to be any other cooler that can match the original MBA with just two PCIe 8-pin connector. The only problem with this one is that it's a blower, which is naturally loud...

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.

The Photon shroud really looks clean for the A770. :rockout:

This is most likely a re-badged Ayaneo Slide with a 8840U in it. Reviews for what it may most likely be are already out.

Ah this is good. So it should be just like Reflex and Reflex+Boost. Hopefully Apex Legends integrates it into its version of the Source engine.

Runs perfectly on the Steam Deck. Also runs really well on the Minisforum V3.

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.

If this ends up being like or better than Hunt, I'm sold.

This is good move from AMD. Although Tiny Corp has already bypassed the MES and part of the MEC (microengine compute).
