    I bought this for my son for Christmas. He says it's much faster than the Steam Deck his sister has. It has its quirks due to SteamOS being in it's relative infancy on non-Steam Decks, but overall he enjoys it. He is not a fan of the touchpad implementation, and says it's like a little sliver. He loves the Hall-effect joysticks.

    It wasn't a bad console great for single player play station games such as god of war, ratchet at clan to side scrollers etc, how ever you can't play first person shooters on there (considered anti - cheat ) through steam. Audio crashesh when screen gets busy one of those consoles where you have to tinker with the settings everytime before you load up a game.

    I was on the fence about purchasing a handheld gaming pc but after purchasing this during the Black Friday sale I wish I had done it far sooner. Nothing beats being able to play AAA games while sitting on the couch next to my wife.
