I bought Station to Station, a nice peaceful train simulation game.

True. But at least for me, VA-API was not a known abbreviation, that’s why I copied the long form here.

VA-API is Video Acceleration API

I haven’t seen one. Would be a nice addon

found a bug ;)

Edit: where is the link?

This device is basically a windows tablet with detatchable controllers. This will probably me more portable than if the controllers were always connected.

ipad mini is 9 inch, this device is 11 inch

Thats both true and not really relevant, considering the iPad’s game library.

Edit: It would be really interesting to see an Apple-made portable game console, featuring it’s M-Series chips.

A couchheld?

I don’t think 11 inch is absurdely big. That’s the screen size of the current iPad air.

I think we are spoiled by hardware manufactureres that release new stuff at least twice a year.

Has anyone tried it yet? I can’t imagine that the Steam Deck has the required performance to emulate the PS4.

Thank you. My boy is six, and many games are still too hard for him. Good that there is a sandbox mode, maybe we’ll try it out

What age is your son?

It would make more sense for microsoft to partner with some hardware vendor and release a modified version of windows 11. With a nice mobile-optimized GUI, integration for the most popular game stores and an optional desktop mode.

If Microsoft really wants to get in the mobile gaming sector, why don’t they even have a working protoype to show? The article claims that it is still “a few years away” at this point.

Doesn’t sound like they really have high ambitions.

The article says that the influence on battery usage is low. But the higher resolution might result in a higher power draw.

You can trim it even further:
