This thing is DOA when it costs more but performs significantly less than the competition and have zero confidence Intel will actually improve the drivers as a long time Intel user .Great CPU's but shitty support , will be on sale for half price when no one buys these in 6 months

The lone 'killer feature' these Team Blue units might have is TB4.

Otherwise I'd agree with others that they are priced to much for to little.

IMHO: Handheld gaming/computing needs a < $500 target price.

Yep. All reviews have shown that Intel is just bad in low power. Intel is just not for handhelds.

About the drivers: they do improve the integrated Arc drivers, because they are similar to their desktop GPUs. But it's true that the integrated Iris Xe never got decent driver updates. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy a system with Iris Xe anymore if you do 3D things.

Agreed. Ever since they first came out with this name.
