Might as well get a laptop???
Acer is releasing an 11-inch PC gaming handheld with the Acer Nitro Blaze 11, and it comes complete with detachable controllers.
It is getting absurd at this poin. Just get a laptop and call it a day

Absurdly massive and yet no space for some touchpads? 🤡
Yeah, how is it that none of these so-called "rivals" have even a single touchpad? I personally wouldn't even consider a device that forces me to use a thumbstick as a mouse.
nah babe just COVER your screen in fingerprints! everyone loves touch screens right??
"I appreciate covering my screen in fingerprints, obviously. But what really makes me happy is trying dozens of times to get my fat thumb to register on an interface designed for a mouse."
- a quote by someone making hardware decisions at SteamDeck rival manufacturers, apparently.
Gotta be honest, i hardly ever use them on the Deck.
If I don't have it docked I use the right one for anything first-person. I hate aiming with a thumbstick, so it gets used as a mouse. The left one usually gets used as a hotbar.
I've never used the touchpads on mine outside of desktop mode. The vast majority of games have controller support.
It depends what you play. Strategy games benefit from the touchpads as mice.
Also I sometimes use the touchpads for touch menus.
Yes it does, but as I said, the games that necessitate trackpads are a super minority. That's why they're not included in most devices. They take up a lot of space. The Steam Deck is significantly wider than most of it's competitors.
The Legion Go has a touchpad. I think even the newer one that's been announced has an (albeit much smaller) touchpad.
I'd even settle for a Lenovo-style nipple for mouse control.
Lmfao. I didn't even notice that. Damn. They didn't even put the joystick next to the buttons on the right side like the steam deck for better ergonomic, they STILL put it under the buttons.
The steam deck has 2 touch pads that work better than laptop trackpads
The device in the OP is not the steam deck
Oops my b
