Also funny how they keep adding shit no one needs that just makes battery life worse

Yes let me drop $700 on a handheld so I can play it plugged in on the couch

I think the rog ally had Microsoft word (maybe even just office) come with it.

[–] dawa@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

Cool, so now it's a "work laptop" and I can justify expensing it !!

Only reason why they'd put Word on it IMO

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah not very usefull there. But at least it can be uninstalled I guess...

According to the totally impartial LTT review of the Ally it’s worse than the Deck in every way but if it’s plugged in and you’re using a kb+m then it’s only a slightly underpowered laptop and you should totally buy it over the Deck

So I guess the “power modes” that can’t run on battery

Remember Game Gear? Pepperidge farm remembers

The battery drainer? That thing was epi...

Sorry, ran out of batteries.

I knew people with NiMh batteries for their RC cars\planes\boats, but the first time I ever saw NiMh AAs, was in a GameGear.

Some people want that. I've never played my switch as a handheld. Not once.

[–] topinambour_rex@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Me neither. Maybe because I don't own a switch, donno.

I've played mine on the TV like a half dozen times maybe. I mostly play it while I watch TV.... why yes I do have rather severe ADHD.
