||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a bad product, but is a headache to run properly and not exactly the best performance for 600 bucks. Windows is very laggy and slow pretty much only good for playing low res indie games.

Needs more power for most games.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As most have already stated this machine is mostly for minimally demanding games. COD, arc raiders and those tupes of games stutter a lotand the entire aystem moves very slowly. The Xbox Ally X is by far a better performance device but yiu sre oaying a lot more. This one is comparable to steam deck but with windows an and LCD.
