another no name company announcing another 7840U handheld

windows handheld market is becoming oversaturated with devices that are ever so slightly different from each other

[hexed cedar]

In this thing's defense though, it seems to have a really good design and if it comes in cheaper with no major issues it'll find its place in the market. It's one of the only ones I've seen so far that has a USB port on the bottom and top

[timid ocean]

I believe it will start at $650

$750 for the 32gb ram version

We will have to wait for the reviews to see how it feels in the hands but it has the major features necessary such as 120hz, front firing speakers, comfortable contoured grips, 50wh battery, no large design flaws that I can see. If the buttons and d-pad and analog sticks feel good to use it'll be a decent product

I thought there was a cheaper lower-end model, that will be the really interesting one

We are finding that the driver support being left up to OEMs on the z1e is making actual 7840u devices better than Z1E devices at least if you want to get into power user stuff or eGPUs

[odd orbit]

Absolutely wild that the bigger clout devices like ally and legion have that chip and patchwork drivers but these generic brands get proper support

Using off the shelf parts has its benefits
