The real question that I rarely see answered about all of these hand-held PCs coming out is, can they cleanly suspend and resume at any point during gameplay without causing problems? That's (IMO) the single most important feature of the Steam Deck and one I've never seen work as well in other hand held PCs.

All these steam deck competitors use windows, so no, they can't
Probably because that's a feature of whatever OS you run on it. If you stick to Windows that most likely comes with it, then no. But if you install something like ChimeraOS, then it should work.
Is that not open source?
What? The handheld? The OS? The suspend resume function?
The suspend resume function, did Valve not pass that upstream?
it says steam deck competitor but I don't see any info on os its using
Windows 11. That OS that just got told they had to allow users to turn off ads (but only in Europe).
If you go into the "news" link, then go to the indigogo link, then get mad because they are putting all info into mages instead of text, then accept that they made that awful no-text choice, then scroll down almost all the way to the bottom, you'll find the spec-sheet.
then get mad because they are putting all info into mages instead of text
This is what all emails from them look like. Literally zero information unless you load the images.
This just screams "scam" to me.
As someone who used to have an old windows mobile phone with a sliding out keyboard - yes please. I want to see more stuff like this.
No touch pads no deal.
It's always like this with every Steam Deck competitor.
Common people, put a damn gyro on the thing at the very least!
