    So far so good. Only thing apps like ps remote play require a controller plugged in. Needs more storage. It’s basically a handheld pc. Convenient if you have wifi.

    A great little device. Its main issue is the hurdle of navigating windows. If you debloat the system, your frames will improve by a decent margin.

    Okay so this isn't bad. Me coming from the steam deck which seems to be a lot simpler. I was a little overwhelmed. Even now I am. I'm getting the hang of it it's not an Xbox coming straight out of the box it takes sometime. Overall it's pretty cool having all of my PC games in one section the armory crate is cool but there's some little problems here and there I don't like.

    Very happy with the purchase I was hesitant to wait for the X version as I got this right at launch day but I am very happy and satisfied with it. I can remotely connect to my home xbox without any issues and play remotely anytime anywhere. This is a big plus for me all games run smoothly is ergonomic good grip good screen size over all 10/10

    I am a student that doesn’t have much time to sit down and play games. This lets me get back into doing that. I’m very pleased with it. The only thing I would recommend is a micro sd card as storage fills up quick.
