    Not a handheld XBOX by any stretch

    This is a handheld PC. It’s not an XBOX. It plays SOME PC versions of XBOX games. And some play real well. When it all comes down to it, I don’t have the patience to work with a PC just so I can play games. Requires several different accounts just to play a library of games. It’s cumbersome to tweak settings, unless you are already used to that sort of thing. I wanted to give one Star, but that’s because I wanted a portable Xbox experience. It’s an incredible machine. But the real question is “Is this truly what you are looking for?” Because that answer for me was “No”. I do have a Switch 2, and I can say that I am more grateful now to have such a portable and user friendly device.

    screen is still too small. The performance improvements seem almost irrelevant. Still 900P gaming on Low settings. It actually made me invest in my pc and just game there. Price point overall too high for what you get. Feels like a 1.3 Upgrade vs 2.0

    Not bad but for $1000- the software is not yet polished and the screen is small with a large bezel. I expected a bit more coming from the rog ally but it was not a very big improvement. The grip was nice and the sound was great.

    Relatively easy to figure out if you aren’t used to pc’s. I will say there are things that still need to be figured out it gets hung up on updates and will sometimes not want to turn back on when it restarts.

    This technology has evolved throughout time and it’s been so easy to pop into a game or even a web site switch over. The grip is amazing, there is some lag to the right joystick but other than that great device.

    My husband loves this console and hasn't put it down since we got it. Only thing is you can only put one account on the device so it makes it harder when I want to use it. My husband said the graphics aren't the best, but what can you expect from a handheld console!

    Powerful but not powerful enough for good graphics, Full HD screen (I would prefer AMOLED), expensive, I'd rather have a console or a desktop PC.
