    Got that, but just wondered if the offer has gone live yet from MS or not until nearer the end of support date? And, as mentioned, how you activate it.

    Yeah, price to performance when it comes to miniaturisation is what it is, unfortunately. Believe me, I also own a gaming handheld, a high end one that costs £750 for performance at 1200p that basically matches an XBox Series S, a console that costs less than half the price but takes up double the space on my desk. (Per my earlier Cyberpunk reference, this handheld runs it at 60fps using equivalent settings to a Series S running the game in performance mode, though with higher pedestrian density as the CPU is a bit beefier)

    Exponentially less powerful than my laptop of course, but that's to be expected, since it fits in my handbag at a third of the size, meaning no space for a dedicated GPU or the cooling necessary for such. (The new handhelds coming this year are absolutely WILD with external clip-on GPUs that weigh as much again as the handheld itself and are a similar experience to plugging the old SEGA Game Gear TV tuner into one of those back in the day).

    Purely for gaming at home? Sure. But if I need to be on the go and need a high end system for that work, I may as well make it my gaming system and save another couple of grand on a dedicated gaming desktop.

    Good thing mine has 2x DP and 1xHDMI outputs then. ;)

    You might not be able to yet. The prompts are getting rolled out to users gradually. It should appear soon.
    Edit: Sorry, I've just noticed other people have answered your question.
