I generally agree, but if ARM chips next year don’t disappoint then it won’t be the case for long. It’ll take time until x86 games play nice on them but when they do we can expect PC handhelds similar to Android ones. Reasonably sized and with a great battery life. Handhelds have a good future.

Isn’t it the GPU that drains the battery, why would a new CPU, help with that.

If they're playing x86 games, they have to translate CPU instructions from x86 to ARM. That puts considerable strain on the CPU, especially on top of running the game itself.

I think it’s the screen, actually, and I don’t see much they can do about those.
