Losing literally the only thing that makes them unique.

Is Intel hardware actually an advantage here?

Power efficiency is king for devices like this.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 6 points 6 days ago

Not...really? I think it's best described as "not bad". But there are a half a dozen handheld PCs at this point that are nearly indistinguishable. Maybe some weirdo really wants an Intel handheld for some reason, so they buy The Claw.

Using worse components just to be different is not really a good sales strategy.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 6 days ago

They're not objectively worse.

[-] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

The benefits of Intel (mostly Thunderbolt) are irrelevant for handhelds, though.

Have to disagree when you consider eGPUs.

Have to disagree when you consider eGPUs.

eGPUs with a handheld? Yeah... nope.

Where are you carrying that eGPU?

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 5 days ago

You don't carry it anywhere. You leave it on your desk.
