||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After 3 hours of updating windows/drivers a bios update sent me to the bitlocker screen. Its easy to get out of it normally but the touchscreen wasnt working and wouldnt accept button presses. Never even got to the point i could play a game. Outside of that frustration im sure it would have been an awesome handheld

Garbage
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Garbage of a handheld. I tried to play fortnite on all low settings and could barely handle it. Bmx streets came out and thats a very low demanding game, i put all the graphic settings on low and turned on DLSS and slid the bar to 40% render and i got 60frames at most. I turned the wattage up to run its best and its terrible. Oh you know that dock thing so you can hook it up to a monitor or tv? Yeah dont bother with that. I have a 24” monitor and couldnt run anything on it. I love the concept of portable pc gaming but were FAR from it. I wouldnt reccommend this product to anyone. Just buy a gaming laptop and carry around a controller and you’ll be set, probably can find one for the same price too.
