Great for playing while the main TV is being used or when hanging out with the family while doing our own thing.

I’ve had my PS Portal for a little over two weeks, and all in all, it has exceeded my expectations. Playing at home, I’ve noticed very few signs that indicate I’m not playing my games natively on the portal.
The picture on the display is crisp, the sound is pretty loud, and the build feels premium. The handheld experience is in a league of its own, in my opinion. The screen size, the familiar feel of the Dual Sense controller, and the haptic feedback almost feels like I'm playing on my PS5—minus the obvious screen size difference from a TV to an 8-inch screen.
The PS Portal has given me the freedom to play anywhere in my house without the hassle of setting up remote play on my phone, laptop, and a controller. When my wife is watching her shows, the portal makes it easy and convenient to have the option to play. It’s a win-win for gamers like me!

The Portal, in my opinion, is for a specific gamer. One that shares the TV with family but would like to game whenever they can. I enjoy gaming while family is watching TV, and I can go outside too. I have not taken it out of the home so I don't know how true remote gaming works on the Portal, but at home the connection is solid. I have not experienced any lag or drops in rate, it is well executed. For my specific need, need to play while TV is being used, this is perfect. I used to remote play on my laptop but that was cumbersome, now it's flawless and very enjoyable.

I do like the PlayStation Portal. My purpose of using it was to play wherever I wanted in the house. It accomplishes that. I use this quite a lot because of the convenience of not being attached to one room. I think it works for most games. However, the analog sticks are not the greatest for first person shooters. The analog sticks are smaller and it moves faster than a regular PS5 analog stick. I would have to slow down the vertical look to a 2 speed in order to aim perfectly. If they put the same analog sticks from the PS5 controller on the portal then it would be much better. Secondly, there are connection issues with remoting into the PlayStation 5 while in different rooms. Thirdly, I wish this was more portable so you can play the PlayStation 5 anywhere you go without having to keep the PlayStation 5 on and remote into it. Overall, I do enjoy it and I do use it a lot while at home.

Great product design from Sony. What will make this even better as if they do an update that will allow you to play all your downloading games on the go.

Not a big fan to be completely honest. I bought it because I had moved my PS5 up to the living room on the main floor but still wanted to be able to play down on my man cave/basement. It didn’t like that though. Even though I was on the same network, it would lag to the point of not being able to play. I will be returning it shortly because it’s pretty much pointless for me to have it. I have it 3 stars because it’s a good idea and the one time it worked without lagging it was nice being able to have the freedom of playing away from the PlayStation.
