    I was given a macbook at programming work and honestly, the battery life sold me on it.

    And with that Steam Cube thing, I can’t imagine anything Microsoft in my house.

      Some of the arm based windows laptops, and even the newer x86 windows laptops, get pretty good battery life these days too. In my personal life, I have both an arm based MacBook and windows laptop. Both get similar battery life. I do wish there was an easy way to get Linux running on the windows laptop though.

      At work it’s usually all the corporate… bloat/security stuff that kills windows. I recently made the work switch to a MacBook and the difference is night and day.

        GabeCube is what I’m calling it forever, now. That’s great.

        I don’t think I’ll get one (I have 2 Decks, a dock, and a gaming ex-Windows now CachyOS PC) but I’m excited for the controller. Couch play sucks without touchpads on so many games. Steam Input even makes games with massive numbers of keybinds work great; with nested radial menus, you can have hundreds of commands on 'em.
