    Great device! The performance is pretty good and the screen is crisp and vibrant! Only complaint is battery life you will want to stay close to a charger with this thing for sure.

    I was able to do very minimal gaming on it, but the ergonomics were nice. And I really like that SteamOS was on it. But since I could not charge it, I returned it.
