I wonder how long the battery last on this thing 😱

Not only that Krizby, but with that kind of monster cpu mobile chip along with newest arc graphics they slap onto the handheld a full hd ips lcd display? At least make it oled for christ sakes. My almost 10 year old samsung tablet has an amoled display for crying out loud. And my nokia from 2018 had a 2k ips panel....

I wonder how long the battery last on this thing 😱

Not as long as the Ryzen Z1 Exteme. Phoronix just did a benchmark on one of these Core Ultras (not sure if its exactly the same as what's in this MSI model but I would assume it's similar given the competition). In short, Intel is competitive in DX12 and Vulkan performance but worse in efficiency.

I previously owned the Lenovo Legion Go and to be honest it was quite impressive for a handheld. Even though the screen wasn't OLED, the color accuracy is amazing and the visuals are super clear. The big screen is absolutely beautiful. Me personally, I like the 8.8 inch 144hz better than the Steam Deck OLED screen. It ran AAA games as well as a handheld could and some looked fantastic. In my opinion the GO offered the most versatility. In regard to battery life, you may squeeze about 2 gaming hours out of it. I returned it for 2 reasons. 1. Why did these dolts name their premier product line after a demon? Friggin sadist! 2. I purchased a fantastic open box Asus ROG Strix G814JZ 4080 Laptop that is in mint condition during Best Buy's Christmas sale. Upgraded the RAM from 16gb DDR5 4800 to 64gb DDR5 5600 and added a 4tb Nvme drive. This will be my work and mobile gaming machine for many years like my previous laptop. No need for the Lenovo Go.
