Purchased from Best Buy and it works great with my PS5. Screen looks amazing and controls feel premium. Streaming is smooth with good Wi-Fi. Perfect for playing without using the TV. Highly recommend buying it at Best Buy.

I was very very hesitant to get the Portal, i wasnt sure i would use it enough to make it worth it, nor was i sure if it worked well due to a lot of reviews saying its laggy and takes a lot of time to connect. I am pleased to say it is SO worth it!
The over all build of the portal is great, at first glance i thought it looked fragile and cheaply made, but it is much sturdier than i thought. The controller grips feel exactly the same as the duelsense controllers, just with slightly smaller control sticks.
Lets just say my internet at my house is patchy at best. My provider is very unreliable but its the only option in my area. With that being said in my house i have no connection issues with the portal and very little lag (only stutters if we have a bunch of devices on the wifi at once and "high traffic times" when close neighbors' signals jam up), but that was maybe one or two nights. I also had issues getting disconnected from the wifi one night but im chalking that up to the service provider and not the portal!
Over all i would say, if you would like to play PS5 as your tv is taken up by a significant other or you want to watch something as you game, the portal is for you. If you want to go lay in bed and play a bit before falling asleep, its for you. If you travel (to places with wifi) its for you. I didnt think id use it as much as i have, i originally thought "oh its not for me", but i have found myself making excuses to use the Portal. I have run a variety of games on it, from simple games like PS classic games and Stardew Valley, to more demanding games like FF7 rebirth demo, God of War Ragnorok, etc. All have worked perfectly.
The screen is bright and looks great even for just an lcd. One down point is the fact that the lowest volume setting on it is still VERY loud, so if im playing in bed and my fiancee wants to read, i end up needing headphones, which you can use a 3.5mm wired headphones, but not bluetooth!
If you have the means to get one and are able to snag one as its in stock, do it! Its very worth it for even casual gamers!

Great device I'm liking the all black look of it. Work well have to have a strong internet connection to make if feel smooth when playing. Don't recommend on competitive PVP games but definitely recommend for PVE and solo games when just relaxing or you want to be away from where you usually game and lay down and play instead

I was hesitant at first because it is a remote player but it is really worth it! The input lag is barely noticeable and the fact it can remote play anywhere is nice. There is some frame rate drops if there is a lot happening on the screen but it isn't too bad. If you want to play PS5 but also want to go out or play anywhere else this is totally worth it.

Great price for the portal. The new updates for the portal, makes the portal even more worth getting. Great quality and fun to play with. Would definitely recommend.

So far so good! I haven’t tried it away from home yet so that’s the only thing keeping me from giving it a perfect score but so far it’s been staying connected and the graphics are great.

I like the product because you can play your games without using the tv but you need a good internet connectionso you do not experience lags while your are playing your favorite game

Ever since the update I have been able to play it more. The ability to take it anywhere makes it a plus as well. I highly recommend anyone that doesn’t have it should definitely go get one, especially for the price.

It’s not Bad, it could b muuuuuuch better, but Sony being Sony. I loses connection , but the touch screen and private experience is nice, it could b cheaper since Sony is raising membership like crazy. I give 6 out 10.

Great device if your able to get a good connection either in a Hotel hotspot a airport, works really stable when you use the PlayStation Premium service connects every time and no issues.

Looks and feels great. Very convenient if you want to play in bed or want/need to play while others are using the TV. Just make sure you have fast, reliable WiFi and it will feel like a portable PS5.
