    A gift for my son that he truly loves. Screen is clear and the sounds to the games are amazing. Also, the images on the screen are also clear. Looks like he is playing on his desktop except it’s portable. The weight of the console is good on the hand and the side grips makes it easy to hold the console while playing.

    This handheld PC takes the software streamlining from the Steam Deck, with hardware strong enough to play most games, if at low setting for many AAA titles. However, even on low settings, games look great on this device. I'd recommend buying one of these if you have the disposable income, or if you can catch it on sale.

    Awesome, I can use it as a Dual-Boot Handheld Gaming Device, with booting in either Stream or Windows (for Xbox Game Pass, for PC). You can also upgrade the Internal NVMe to at least 2GB, plus the Micro SD for even more storage. With the Games I’ve played, I’ve had no issue with them running smoothly, even when I adjust setting to max out at 60 FPS

    I picked this up on a whim, I put enough hours into my SteamDeck OLED to feel its worth an upgrade. Now i was waiting and wanting the LeGo 2. But i was very impatient so i picked this up instead. This thing is a monster, it plays all my games with no issues. I love the design and comfort this brings, the power is there when you want it and having SteamOS with its constant support is a huge plus. Everything just works, i havent had any issues on any game ive played. My only Con for this handheld is the battery life kinda sucks, but if you can look past that then this is the pc handheld for you.

    I work in front of a PC and recently ive found myself playing less. I got this handheld to try out and ended up keeping it. Works well and is comfortable enough to hold. Battery life is a little short. If I wasnt able to get it at the black friday price i would have gotten a SD oled tho.
