  • You are correct I misunderstood, I read your comment as handhelds with intel can’t windows. It is why I shifted to my surfaces, as they have xbox gaming and run other than AMD. IME windows can game on literally any platform, I linux professionally but MacOS privately, apple apps that run on x86 can not run on their m platforms because they dont support ARM #Facepalm, so the run anywhere promise of windows (which I know is fake) seems hard to beat, and I do not feel windows has overhead that these handhelds can’t overcome.


  • My steam deck runs Windows 11 at full speed to take advantage of the xbox game pass. My two surfaces both arm and intel run win 11 at full speed, I dont understand your comment. The one major complaint is that SteamOS sleep is a killer feature, not a day goes by that I do not covet it. Windows sleep does not exist and is left out in reviews but honestly to a regular person is the biggest difference, and is why I can not recommend anything other than steamdeck.
















  • Only transcription, it outputs to a few formats that amount to plain text with or without time coding including srt subtitles. It transcribes really well, one bit of note is that sometimes with more technical discussions I find better results using the smaller models. My best theory is the technical words are less likely to be assumed to be an accent/variation.


  • Not sure if you have tried/heard of Whisper. It automatically transcribes audio, I use it for meetings/lectures that don’t come with Closed Captioning, it supports audio/video files and a few languages. I had tried a few solutions with mixed results (e.g. Google is slow, many places limit lengths/sizes), IBM is supposed to be the best free/low cost cloud model but they would never approve my accounts. In the end locally with whisper in an Anaconda/Python environment was best cheap option for me.
