   All these non-Steam Deck PC gaming handhelds are like 1080p! 144Hz! Ultra-bright display! Octa-core CPU! Discrete GPU! *cough20minutebatterylifecough*

     @Newmy @corbin Game Gears lasted that long? I remember mine lasting MAYBE an hour or 90 minutes tops.

     @corbin I had a Game Gear and remember being pissed that it died after like 4-5 hours. I'd kill for a Steam Deck-like with that kind of battery life!

     @killyourfm @corbin My memory's a bit fuzzy but I think so? It was worse on rechargeable batteries through (which you'd inevitably have to start using after chewing through a dozen AAs within a few days)
