    I don't believe I edited any of my comments today but maybe I guess? In that same vein, did I say anything like "it's that simple". I did go back and read my comments just to be sure etc etc. I of course believe I'm correct (5-10% average performance/battery gains) don't count as massive.

    We were talking about performance but now price is part of the package for some reason?

    So many people responded to me and at least half of the responses had to with price and how that's massive!!

    Anyways nah it's all good. It was annoying as heck earlier. But then I logged off lol. North worth the hassle

    Cool beans, I hope you're having a nice evening by this point.

    It's massive because of context. Massive is inherently a comparative term. Something can't be large or significant unless something else is small. Here the context is performance gains (in comparison to other forms of PC gaming) constrained by 1) being on exactly the same hardware 2) a sizeable price difference between the two options.

    Here the performance gains are 10+% for a device which costs more than 10% less. The size of the performance gains in the handheld market would otherwise need you to buy a new handheld, and those fps increases would demand spending at least a few hundred bucks on a new GPU.

    So massive performance gains with the implied context is absolutely true.

        12% faster on average, with anywhere from a 30-320% battery life improvement.

        Just from a software change.

        That is massive. You'd usually need a hardware upgrade for an improvement like that.

        I didn't read the whole article and mostly looked at the table. 12% is a number I would describe as a huge difference, but combined with the battery life I have to agree that it is indeed a massive difference.

          I'm hoping they make a desktop version but I've been testing Linux mint on all the games I can download and I'm pretty sure it's running better than my win10 boot.

          So the fact that the other distros are an option that's relatively accessible makes me think there's less value to valve releasing the desktop version any time soon.

              Well, you can install any Linux distro and play there. For example Nobara, which is gaming focused.
