Controller seems wireless and usb port used for glasses. This compared to the deck which has a screen and controller integrated.
If he has to carry a controller as well, I don't see the benefit. Together with the controller the setup will be bigger than the steam deck.

I've wanted this for ages, Laptop ergonomics are horrible. When traveling I use a portable monitor, keyboard, mouse. Yes it's annoying to travel with all that but worth it not to end my work days with neck pain and a migraine. I need a somewhat powerful GPU for work, so I'm seriously considering buying one of the more powerful handhelds with removable controllers and just taking them off. The screen would be superflu…
Minisforum machines are excellent in that regard. Sturdy little bricks with price and performance.
Had to do a repaste to get proper cooling.

In the US, for schools that use this form of grading, it means your senior year; 3rd form is freshman year and so on. We tend not to have a 13th grade, and when that does exist, a PG (post grad) is generally there because they excel at a particular sport.
In Britain the first high school graduation happens after 11th grade; attending sixth form is optional and is primarily done by students intending to study at University. In these years you specialise in a couple of subjects relevant to your intended course of study, and for university you apply and are accepted for and study exclusively one subject from day 1. So arguably the US equalivalent is the freshman year of…

The issue is usually with the graphics card itself in my experience. This is easily "fixed" on a DVI port by plugging a resistor of the correct value into two of the tiny pin sockets. The diagram is very easy to find online and you don't have to open the computer. That's become a thing of the past as far as I know.
NVIDIA GPUs still require "dummy" HDMI plugs. They won't be fully usable without something plugged in; it's not clear why.
At said $OLDJOB, we ended up soldering dummy VGA plugs that had resistors across the right pins when we wanted to experiment with building a low-power cluster of NVIDIA Ion boards and seeing how it competed with big cards. Ah, memories.

Does it do that? Why?
Do you mean why a UPS beeps when it's disconnected from power? I imagine so the user knows it's disconnected. Annoying during a power outage though.
This isn't all that different to how I use my gaming PC - it's off in another room, with a monitor that is plugged in but almost always off (I don't think Windows will boot without at least something plugged in?), Steam set to start on boot, and then I entirely use it via Steam Remote Play from my main PC.
Have you tried sunshine + moonlight? I've heard it has lower latency and better streaming quality.

Just to clarify this as well, while sixth form (17~18 years old) is optional in the UK, education is still compulsory until you're 18. you have the option to do this at an apprenticeship or skills based school but lots of people do just default to a levels.
I've just looked it up because I hadn't heard this - it was only compulsory until 16 "in my day"! Turns out it still is, here in Wales, and also Scotland and NI. Only England changed it to 18. Our devolved governments love to make things confusing.
