Feels like an upgraded steam deck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely happy with it, haven’t had a single issue. If I had 1 nitpick the joysticks feel a little loose compared to a ps5 controller and makes aiming harder.

Geat but flawed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the device is great, its just the SD card slot issue of not working or ruining your cards is the biggest issue that cant be fix due to its design.

Look elsewhere for handheld gaming experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a seamless handheld gaming experience, look elsewhere. You're better off with a Nintendo Switch or a Steam Deck. This is a handheld PC. It packs a punch but the battery life is terrible and the micro SD card reader will eventually stop working (research it, its a manufacturing flaw). Way too expensive for the amount of flaws it has. This is coming from a PC gamer and builder.

Everything I need in a handheld gaming system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly as it is supposed to be basically a laptop built into a gaming controller. So nice being able to play any game i want on a handheld vs my steam deck where I had to jump through hoops to play certain games.

Great gaming handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you know windows or have a gaming PC you will feel right at home. Amazing performance. Runs to a 4k tv and runs 4k games at 30-60fps in some cases. Does require tweaking and adjusting at times but is well worth it
