On the PC Gamer hands-on I read they got about an hour running intense games standalone. There’s a port to plug an external battery into to extend that, but it seems the focus is on streaming from a desktop, which will use much less resources and extend the battery life quite a bit.
It might also be more (or less) energy efficient than the Quest. I would bet more toward it being better, tho. Not just with the main chips, but other things like the sensors, displays, cameras, and other components being higher quality.
What kind of power requirements is this going to have while standalone? I’m guessing it’ll chew through batteries.

21Whr battery vs 14Whr on a Quest 2. Newer generation chipset with more efficiency. Probably 2.5-3hrs.
