Lilbits: WiFi 8 hardware is coming this year, LEGO introduces SMART Brick system, and Intel could make handheld-specific Panther Lake chips

CES 2026 appears to be the coming out party for WiFi 8 hardware… which is kind of weird because the WiFi 8 specification isn’t expected to be finalized for a few more years. But it’s not unusual to see companies start to release hardware for a work-in-progress version of the WiFi standard. What is a little unusual is how quickly this is coming after the launch of WiFi 7.

Lilbits: Intel chips with NVIDIA GPU chiplets and GPD Win 5 performance previews (AMD Strix Halo in a handheld)

Intel has made some big investments in GPUs in recent years, and while the company hasn’t exactly become a major player in the desktop graphics space, it’s made big strides in the performance of the integrated GPUs that are part of Intel’s latest mobile chips. But that doesn’t mean there’s not room for better performance.

So it’s interesting to see that while Intel plans to continue […]

Daily Deals (8-12-2025)

Handheld gaming PCs with Intel Meteor Lake processors never really took off in a big way, because they were sold in the same price range as AMD Ryzen-powered models that offered better graphics and efficiency.

But if you’re looking to save a few bucks, Best Buy is running a sale on several handheld gaming PCs. If you’ve got $500 to spare, the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go S are about as […]

Now you can officially install SteamOS on the Lenovo Legion Go or Asus ROG Ally

SteamOS is a Linux-based operating system designed for handheld gaming PCs. Up until now that’s largely meant that it’s the operating system that powers Valve’s Steam Deck handhelds. While folks have been unofficially porting key components of the software to work with other handhelds, that was the only device that officially supported the latest versions of SteamOS.

Lilbits: A phone with a MASSIVE battery, Arm to make its own server chips, and the PlayStation Portable picks up WPA2 support (unofficially)

Most modern smartphones have enough battery capacity to last a day or two between charges. The Oukital Titan WP100 can run longer… much, much longer. It allegedly supports up to 2 full days of video playback, 12 days of talk time, or 185 days of standby time.

How? Because it has a massive 33,000 mAh battery. Sure, that means the phone weighs 1.9 pounds. But at a time when it’s hard to find […]

You’ll be able to install a SteamOS beta on third-party handheld gaming PCs before April

The Linux-based operating system that powers Valve’s Steam Deck is one of that handheld gaming PC’s key selling points. While there are a growing number of handhelds that have hardware that looks better on paper, so far they all ship with Windows, an operating system that supports a vast number of PC games, but which was designed for keyboard and mouse input. SteamOS was designed for a […]

AMD’s Ryzen Z2 chips could bring Strix Point graphics to handhelds in 2025 (Updated)

AMD’s been making laptop processors for years that have integrated graphics powerful enough to let you play many recent games without a discrete GPU. And in 2023 the company released its first Ryzen Z series processors designed specifically for handheld gaming PCs like the Asus ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go.
