    Fulljack, 18 Jul 2021try running Doom Eternal on Ultra quality settings on that.... moreAm not misleading, we are talking about Nintendo switch, so by your logic Doom version of switch run on ultra?

    Most switch games run at lower resolution with low quality that's why you get that battery life, that is same to Steam deck, if you run games at lower resolution and quality you will get close to that 8 hour mark, but heavy games will be close to that 2 hours mark.

    Real life example of switch resolution
    -witcher 3 run at 540P (720P docked)
    -Doom eternal 540P (720P docked)

      this device is a wasted effort. it is so obvious as it can't succeed, advertised as a jack of all trades, fails at all: Unacceptable usability on most PC keyboard and mouse games, too small display for PC games, impossible battery life. Get a controller for your phone and Geforce Now and you saved some money.

        There are several issues with this device. The price for 256gb and 512 gb variants, considering we are talking about a 720p, 60hz gaming device. And no physical media. So why not buy a good small laptop and just cloud game on that ? Then you can do 1080p gaming on decent screen size at least. For the same price. On top, you get a laptop you can use for other things.

          you're being misleading here. just because a game os heavy doesn't mean it's no optimized for low-end CPU.

              Only thing missing is Physical Copy of games and be able to play offline without ever going online like the switch. Also overpriced for an old 4 core 2nd gen cpu w/c is gonna bottleneck the new RDNA2 apu. Just get a laptop or a switch(lesser priced+physical games available).

                Wow, this is pretty crazy.

If you say that Doom Eternal isn't a big game, then you're being dishonest. I don't know why you're trying to justify the pathetic 2-hour battery life. It's unacceptable.
