For years, it’s been more important to have enough memory, than fast enough memory, but that’s all starting to change. While you still need to make sure you have plenty of RAM for the games you want to play and the apps you want to run, faster DDR5 memory kits will absolutely improve your system’s performance, whatever you’re doing.

If you’re working with high-resolution video like 4K or 8K, then there is one guarantee to your work: You’re going to produce a monstrous quantity of data. That in turn often means working with many inadequate memory cards. They’re not big enough to store all your data, and certainly not fast enough to get it off the card in a timely manner.

It’s not enough to just expect your gaming chair to keep you cool during hot summer days anymore. No, it should also keep you warm when your bones start frosting over in the winter.

But surprisingly only one of those applies to the Handheld Dock Chroma, a USB-C dock designed for the Steam Deck and similar PC-based handheld gaming gadgets.
