This is for people who: - Have a powerful PC but don't want to sit at their desk to play PC games - Want a larger screen than their phone with a controller. A 7 inch phone screen is not the same 16:9 aspect ratio and doesn't compare - Want an ergonomic and bigger controller than something like a Kishi or Gamesir that feels flimsy and unstable - Don't want to find a place to prop up their tablet and lean in to see it, just so they can use an Xbox/PlayStation controller - Want a higher resolution screen with better colors than the Steam Deck and don't need that processing power - Don't want to be limited to bad ports of AAA games on the Switch - Don't want to wait 6 months for an IndieGoGo handheld that costs more, runs a desktop OS and has no place to walk in a get an exchange if defective - Like all the emulator handhelds on the market but doesn't trust the brand or build quality - Understand they can steam their PC, Xbox, PlayStation at home and away from home. The holidays are coming. People travel and still want to game on vacation. Do you want to play the low res version on your Steam Deck or take this with you to somewhere that probably also has good internet available? - Understand they can stream from cloud providers. Something like Game Pass gives you streaming with games included. This could be a person's only gaming device. They can even dock it with HDMI output and Bluetooth controller if they wanted a console experience. - Understand they can always fall back on light Android games without an internet connection - Understand more powerful means more battery weight, still shorter battery life - Understand more powerful means heat output in your hand - Understand better screens means a tablet (see above) or smaller size. AYANEO has said they want to make a bigger OLED models but the panels are not available So, yes it is made for humans. Maybe just not you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is for cloud gaming. More powerful doesn’t matter because the system processing the game is miles away and would be the same power whether you play on a $10,000 PC or a $100 chromebook. Im interested in this one because it weighs half as much as the steam deck, has a 4x better battery life, and can play games that Steam Link can’t play like Destiny 2, which is on GeForceNow but Steam Link can’t play it from your steam or epic store libraries.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I’d say humans. There’s a thriving android handheld market with devices that out spec and out price this device, but you can’t go into Best Buy to buy those devices. They’re usually enthusiast products coming from international companies. And while most peoples phones can do everything this device can do, there’s something nice about having dedicated hardware to fill a niche job role.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have one specific cozy game that I'm very into, but currently play on Switch, and that limits the game significantly. I want to play on PC for the better game experience, but don't want to be stuck at my desk and want the option of a handheld without the $600+ price tag that comes with higher powered devices because I have no need for high power, just convenience.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't have an answer, I just agree. A $350 dollar Logitech Cloud gaming handheld sounds very unappealing. Being so into gaming that you need a dedicated handheld but are also so casual that you only want to play streamed AAA mediocrity at huge input delays seems self-defeating for sure. Enthusiasts will buy a Deck OLED, casuals will stream onto a laptop or an iPad or something.
