Quoting: iiari
Quoting: damarrinA 16” 16:10 screen, huh. That’s pretty cool. Shame about the res, I wonder what type of fractional scaling it needs to be useable.
Yes, that 16:10 screen on the Executive 14 has me seriously drooling, and Liam didn't mention that the 14 comes with a 99 whr battery!! Finally, a Linux laptop with a 16:10 screen with true all day AM to PM battery life...
Nope, 14 --> 47WHr battery

15 --> 92WHr battery (not 99)

They are the same base-laptop as the tuxedo pulse v2, Schenker Via Pro 15 updated (M22), Mechrevo, etc.

@Scaine
Thank you for the info, and to Liam to have included the information in the post. Now, if someone in this company reads, it should definitely be added with all the pictures about the inside of the beast.
With such a small niche, they should be more informative, especially to a connoisseur target.

Offtopic but I need to tell
Quoting: scaine[...] but I also think you need to tone down the rhetoric a bit. [...]
About "toning down", I feel that's beginning to be your main line in comment: not making waves, no head sticking out, no comment that would go against one of your own convictions or feelings (because you accept non-neutral comments when they go your way; Which is okay, as it is your own site; But should be clearly claimed, would help readers to figure out if we will seek information there or other places). Quite perturbing for me and make this site more and more unpleasant to read for me while I enjoyed your works for years. Is it a matter of monetization (if so, should be publicize, I guess), or you no longer want to compromise? or getting the big head (hope not!)?

Anyway. No waves, no noise, no questioning, no argument... All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds ;)

"Up to 11hrs"... means nothing.

When a company doesn't provide the energy unit of the batteries in Wh or in MJ (knowing that 1Wh = 3.6 MJ), it can't claim something about the battery life of a laptop, and be considered as a professional laptop company.

If with a battery under 70 Wh, not to be considered as a nomad laptop with such an APU (45w on average usage!) for me.

The Steam Deck has released, here's my initial review

Very nice return Liam! I even ask for more writings ^^

More question:
- Did you watch video (like mkv) on it? battery life, does it fell confortable?
- did you watch netfilx/amazonprime, etc.? how it behaves? battery life?
- did you test a firefox or any other navigator on it? Hoiw was the experience? e.g., reading articles on GOL ;)
- did you tried to read epub or pdf on it?
- did you tried emulation?

I so fuck**g don't mind about if windows runs on it, and I don't understand that one of the first comment asks for on this site. It runs linux and games well, why broking something working with an odd OS? Please Liam answer my points before that stupid idea to test windows on it, thank you ;)

Get ready to beat 'em up plenty with Final Vendetta

Is Legend of Keepers (and it's last dlc don't feed the troll) officially announced on steam deck? This type of "small" game perfect for a mobil/bed gaming.
