  • Sure, I should have clarified not surprised by the power or the price.

    It makes sense that as more and more power becomes available, the price doesn’t necessarily have to increase.

    Computers (especially CPUs/GPUs/SOCs etc) are becoming more and more powerful all the time, and more and more efficient all the time. It doesn’t mean that the price of them has to rise.

    The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful doesn’t mean it should be more expensive than the most expensive version of the Steam Deck. The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful should be entirely expected, given the fact that it’s newer with a larger form factor (meaning that it may not be as limited in terms of heat etc)

    Hopefully this is a detailed enough comment to clearly explain my thoughts on this.






  • Oh, sorry, I wasn’t referencing the FOSS world with my comment. I was responding to the tech company’s part.

    My comment was specifically about designers working for companies, with management forcing them to design things in a way that they would rather not.

    It’s kind of less about designers having to justify their existence (although, yes, there are far more often entire re-designs that seem like nothing else about this) and more about them being forced to create designs that management want, rather than what end-users want.

    That’s what my comment was about.
