All other products will be delivered via the fastest available method (excluding bank holidays and weekends) and generally within 3-5 days, depending on customer location.

Windows does not do well on small screens. We already saw that on cellphones. Handhelds are bigger, yes, but not really big enough for how the UI was designed. If Ayaneo follows, and others begin a cascade effect, what you have is a major shift in the industry as a whole, not merely just handheld PC gaming. There's little "unique opportunity for vastly more customized products" as well. Linux support of hardware devices isn't as good as Windows, generally speaking, at least for mainstream users (see the underwhelming numbers from the TN446 compared to TN436 in this article for just one example). They would have to spend time creating their own custom applications and utilities under Linux as well, which contrary to what you say I think is something they will easily resist doing.This is probably the biggest difference you'll see (other than capacity) between the base eMMC drive and an upgraded SSD. The eMMC drive uses an M.2 SATA connection. The interface offers a peak theoretical bandwidth of 6 GT/s (600 MB/s), which is still more than the eMMC drive can manage — it peaks at around 300 MB/s, as we'll see below. Writing the 10GB or so of OS data to the eMMC takes twice as long as the other SSDs.

I know, those are some big "if's". Ayaneo could change their mind and kill AyaneoOS, others could simply not follow. But Linux gives these hardware providers a unique opportunity for vastly more customized products, something they will have a hard time resisting. And they avoid the Windows tax on top of it. They can make their products cheaper and better at the same time.)It could happen. It very likely won't. Because SteamOS is still doing the "running Windows games on Linux" translation for most games. Almost no one bothers to make native Linux versions of games, not even Valve (who has done more than most). Scores are organized by read/write and are measured in MB/s. * denotes where PCIe 4.0 impacted the results. Last but not least, we have the SSD drive temperatures, as reported by smartctl. We suspect the eMMC drive isn't actually reporting the correct data, as its temperature was always listed as 35C. Nearly all other devices would start at around 44–51 degrees Celsius and then slowly heat up while running KDiskMark, which is what you'd expect.

Accidental Damage-Additional Information: Accidental Damage Service excludes theft, loss, and damage due to fire, flood or other acts of nature, or intentional damage. Customer may be required to return damaged unit to Dell. Limit of 1 qualified incident per contract year. For more information, consumers visit Accidental Damage Service Contract (Consumer) or commercial customers visit Accidental Damage Service Contract (Commercial). The big question I think is if Ayaneo ever completes it's announced move to its own Linux based OS for its gaming handhelds. If Ayaneo does that, others will also likely do the same. (yes, I know Dell offers Linux, but only if you dig and dig and dig for it. It's not a prime offering.) Terms Apply. Promotion ends 3 December 2023. Items are subject to availability. Max 5 units per customer. First, because we knew the SteamOS installation would hit the storage relatively hard (compared to other tasks), we timed how long it took to re-image SteamOS, plus the subsequent restart and boot to the welcome screen. We then timed the full SteamOS setup that takes place after you connect to a wireless network — the longest part of the installation process. We also timed the initial OS update that's available (as of July 10), and after everything was up to date, we timed the standard boot sequence for SteamOS.
