Great news for Sony's new handheld. Liza Su knows where the money is.

300% that just seems to much to me.

Big goals to be fair... let's see if they delivery it (their last products were below what they claimed in PR).

3 hrs is still too low, I use my switch mostly plugged in

Well if it's still coming without official driver support then I'd rather pay more to have the regular Ryzen AI 300.

300% that just seems to much to me.

It's not like this one is super good. it's just that performance of the Z1E on 10W and lower was abysmal and much worse than even the Steam Deck.
