    You will have to do a lot of configuration, but it is worth it in if you know what you are doing and is way better than a steamdeck.

    Piece of poop about to return mine literally had it for a week. Multiple freezes in the main menu, buttons on the device ALREADY NOT WORKING BROTHER ITS BEEN A WEEK THIS WORSE THAN ANY CONTROLLER battery life on the lowest setting significantly goes down in an hour you be at 80 and next you at 30 with your game running slow as possible. It is not good for portable gaming seriously hope I get my money back

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS, every time i try to play a game now its in a miniature screen, when i try to expand it does nothing, crashes at least 5 times before i get to play my game, does not hold a charge well at all, and it overheats really quickly. This thing is an absolute pile of garbage despite having the extreme cpu.
