Is it the "Year Of The Handheld Gaming PC", do you think? Now Acer has

MSI has one too. It's called the "Claw."

I dunno anything about that device beyond the name, but that's a
_really_ bad name for a mobile device. I know it's supposed to sound
fierce and powerful, but instead it brings to mind the crooked shape
of a hand forced to hold a heavy handheld for too long.

They should have gone with 'fang' or 'talon'. Claw is a bit too much
on the nose. ;-)

But, like I said, everyone is doing handheld PCs now.

Hopefully one will end up in an ewaste near me soon ;-)
