MSI unleashes the dragon of handheld gaming. This new handheld PC not only makes the Steam deck obsolete, but it also makes the upcoming Switch 2 look weak in comparison. It is said that this new power handheld is able to run Doom The Dark Ages at maximum setting without breaking a sweat. Its crazy how much the portable gaming space keeps advancing, it felt like yesterday that the sluggish Steam deck was barely holding on. Now people have a new candidate to put Steam OS into a new machine. We at Infinite Start will cover the specs of this beast.
MSI unleashes true power
It comes in two versions, but the one that respects your privacy is the AMD build, with AMD Z2 Extreme CPU and up to 24GB LDDR5 memory. No need for any of the “AI+” garbage that is promoted, the size of the storage is massively improved compared to other handheld PCs, this one reaching near the TBs of range. With how increasingly heavy games are becoming, its neat that systems adapt to this. However, do we really need this? Do we really need to keep pumping those numbers up? What’s the fun on games anymore? Real gamers appreciate the times when games were optimized, when games meant something, when games were fun.
We really need to strive to bring those times back, and we have to do everything in our power to show the industry that we don’t care about these things. We just want quality titles that run on everything, quality stories that live with us for ages. Yet, what we only receive is rushed products that are soulless, where not even the people are able to work on them anymore. Profit is the name of the deal right now, and gaming continues to free fall into the darkest abyss, along with whatever remains of culture we have left.
