Its been incredibly annoying throughout all your posts, which is why I finally said something.

Ok, thanks for letting me know? But that's not likely to change my posting style.

This gimmick will never work.

You won't know until you try. It's because it's MS that I think it might have some chance of succeeding.

This is what they should actually do. Them having a console serves no purpose whatsoever.

If they want to give up completely on hardware and go straight for profits, yes.
But it seems like Phil Spencer / Upper Management haven't given up on making hardware yet.

No, thats not what I meant. Yes, the battery life is worthless, but they are incapable of running at full gaming power on battery. Just like the Switch performs worse when its not docked, because you have to lower the power consumption for battery life. At full gaming power, a gaming laptop probably wouldnt last 20 minutes. Thats why none of them do it out of the box.

I know that, that's why I recommend carrying the AC adapter with you.

Its more like 5 or 6, which is a lot compared to a Steam Deck, which coupled with a dock and a controller is just a better version of your made up gimmick.

Depends on how much cooling & extra stuff you want to pack into the device.

But even then, 5 or 6 lbs wasn't a big deal to lug around in a backpack.
I've done it plenty of times. Obviously lighter is better, but you can only go so far before you compromise the cooling solution.

No, they couldnt make it work, because the gimmick is stupid.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Yeah, and both the Steam Deck and Switch have already solved this problem in a less awkward way.

& both are woefully underpowered hardware wise compared to what kind of gaming hardware you can pack into a larger LapTop form factor.
