Good and Bad
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly half the time, this thing is the BEST. Its convenient and fun and really awesome. I just think for how expensive it is, theres no reason that it shouldnt be able to handle some AAA games. Its kind of upsetting. There is a lot of room for imporvement but I’d definitely do your research before making this big of a purchase. A $700 gaming laptop will do more for sure.

Good and bad wait for better batches
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly it really is a powerful device but the amount of problems i had with this is insane. Joy sticks where dead within a week or so. Issues with the screen going nuts with touch sensitivity. Overheating issues , especially when it came to almost melting my sd card. The design is most certainly not ergonomic. It just feels awkward and hurts your hand after a while
