It's a new age of handhelds!

Not a big fan of two tiers of processing power. It makes it harder to target a platform. There's plenty of other ways to differentiate a "pro" handheld without a better CPU or memory.

Looks like a good deal, just would be nicer if they just ran the 8840U for both models.

The device isn’t the platform though, steam is (or whatever other PC storefront you want to use on it)

In these cases, always target the lower hardware, so that the better hardware does what it is really supposed to do: run the games for the lower hardware, better.
