Antec Showcases Core HS, its First Gaming Handheld at Computex

[Nomad76]

The partnership between Antec and Ayaneo has resulted in a new handheld device called the Core HS, marking Antec's debut into the handheld gaming market. Similar to Ayaneo's Slide, the Antec Core HS is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U processor and comes in two models: white and black. The device is available with either 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage or 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage (LPDDR5X and M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 single-sided SSD).

It features a 6" 1080p IPS floating screen with 368 PPI, 400 nits brightness, and an adjustable angle (up to a 30-degree tilt). The device includes a full QWERTY keyboard with RGB backlighting and Fn function keys. Connectivity options include WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. The device is equipped with a 46.2 Wh (12000 mAh) battery and a new 3 + 2 triple copper tube cooling system. These units will be priced between $600 and $900 USD and will ship with Windows 11.

I can't imagine how you can use this keyboard neither held nor docked.

While I love having an actual physical keyboard the first picture really shows how broken Windows UI is for such things. I have a physical keyboard on device, it really shouldn't show me touch interface for input anymore.

That can be solved with proper driver and tablet-mode integration. Same as with current hybrids when you detach/attach the keyboard, the virtual keyboard does not pop-up unless you want it to.

Nah, get the Ally X with its VRR screen, 80Wh battery, and the ability to run more games. That, is the device to get.
