Beide Geräte haben leider die Gehäuseanmutung eines Joghurtbechers. Schwammige Tastatur und über der Tastatur in der Mitte gibt das Gehäuse bereits bei leichtem Druck nach, beim 17er ist das noch viel deutlicher.

Are we still in the early 2000s era?

Any today's system that has less than the bare minimum (default) specs: 2TB OS drive, 32GB system RAM, latest I/O-BT protocols/interfaces, ect needs to be avoided like the plague. Seriously!

Leder in 2024. Schwierig.

Honestly, I'm just waiting for people to start noticing how easy it should be with a port hub/dock/wtf-ever device, to make these handhelds into the ultimate in portable, convertible computers! I'm imagining them being used in essentially three modes:

1) Use-as-desktop - connected to port replicator w/PD pass-thru power port, HDMI to a TV, wireless/USB keyboard & mouse, and any other wireless or USB-based devices one might use with a desktop

2) Handheld - mostly for gaming, but with Windows functionality...awkward-but-available

3) Miniature laptop - Handheld mode, but with a basic USB-C power adapter, folding bluetooth keyboard (no num-pad), and miniature BT mouse (or trackball)

I LOVE the idea of having a device that has such a broad range of functionality, that would almost fit in my pocket! Well...maybe with cargo pants. ;)

Agreed - writer needs to learn what the 'V' in KVM stands for!

I certainly agree with the bulk of your post, and I don't know enough about eGPUs to comment on that. On the docking, though, there are a TON of third-party devices that have such functionality, just without a cradle/stand on which to rest the handheld. I'm not sure of the best blanket term, but I've seen them described as "port replicators" or "USB hub with..." additional connectivity.

Most of these have a USB-C power delivery port, to provide pass-thru power, while simultaneously using the other, type-A USB ports. They also usually have an HDMI port (or two!), sometimes an audio headset jack, and occasionally even an ethernet port!

With how common simple device stands are, I know I wouldn't be the least bit put out, by not having this functionality built into a stand. Besides, any cradle with the connector attached would have to be specially built for each model, depending on the position of the port on the handheld.

Whenever I get around to acquiring one of these handhelds, a port replicator/hub-thing is DEFINITELY gonna be my first accessory purchase for it! (I already have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my current laptop, so I'd just bring them over...lol.)

At least the display doesn't uses PWM and temporal dithering.
