MSI. But expect very bad power consumption

Yeah, but I would be interested in the performance. I use my steam deck always connected to a power outlet (I have multiple connected around the home), so power consumption has never been a problem, the most I use it in handheld mode is on the subway for a total of about 1 hour/1 hour and a half (this is the total time spent for a roundtrip)

Apart from the Steam Deck, that is.

The OLED Deck in particular is great. On less demanding games or streaming with Moonlight where I can crank down the TDP it’s not hard to squeeze 10+ hours of playtime out of its 50Wh battery.

Linux probably helps here, with its greatly reduced background activity compared to Windows.
