Yes! I had three NiCd to every one NiMH, & the NiCd would all be flat within minutes; then I’d switch to the NiMH for some actual fun & within 30 minutes they’re all spent for the day. Sometimes I stripped the single-use flat cells out of used Polaroid film packs, for just a few minutes of superior power:weight ratio on my littlest RCs
Then there were the flashlights we’d use for hours but if you put the same cells in the GameGear, dead in no time.
LiPo cells were like a revelation…
Come to think of it, the PSP had an optical drive which was a battery hog too; I remember a friend being elated that I’d found an aftermarket pack with more mAh.
According to the totally impartial LTT review of the Ally it’s worse than the Deck in every way but if it’s plugged in and you’re using a kb+m then it’s only a slightly underpowered laptop and you should totally buy it over the Deck
So I guess the “power modes” that can’t run on battery
Also funny how they keep adding shit no one needs that just makes battery life worse
Yes let me drop $700 on a handheld so I can play it plugged in on the couch
Remember Game Gear? Pepperidge farm remembers
The battery drainer? That thing was epi…
Sorry, ran out of batteries.
I knew people with NiMh batteries for their RC cars\planes\boats, but the first time I ever saw NiMh AAs, was in a GameGear.
Man that shit sucked. I only had one set so drive for 15 minutes then charge it till tomorrow

Adding what exactly?
I think the rog ally had Microsoft word (maybe even just office) come with it.
Cool, so now it’s a “work laptop” and I can justify expensing it !!
Only reason why they’d put Word on it IMO
Oh yeah not very usefull there. But at least it can be uninstalled I guess…

What, are you saying this 7", 1600p, 120Hz display is a stupid choice for a handheld? How dare you!
Some people want that. I’ve never played my switch as a handheld. Not once.
Me neither. Maybe because I don’t own a switch, donno.
I’ve played mine on the TV like a half dozen times maybe. I mostly play it while I watch TV… why yes I do have rather severe ADHD.
