    It’s ok, annoying that you have to have it wirelessly hooked up to a ps5 and it’s just a mirror image of whatever the ps5 is showing. Nice if you just don’t want to sit in front of your tv or use it in the car but you can’t use it if you forget to turn on your ps5 before you leave home and log into the linked account.

    Great product. I was two hours away and was playing my portal while my PS5 was on. You just need a good WiFi connection where you at. I use a Verizon hotspot and it works great away from home. I also bought mines open box and was it perfect. No issues.

    PS Portal is great at what its supposed to do. First, you need to connect your PS5 to ethernet so you have a stable internet connection. If you don't have ethernet cable, you can get them for cheap. Once its connected, it works great. I usually like to lay in bed at night and play for a little bit on PS Portal. It works great for me, because I don't want to turn on the TV in living room and play that late. Its very comfortable and screen looks really nice. Im fine with plugging in the earphones. I don't need bluetooth. All in all, its a great product. Im sure Sony will make second generation even better.

    I used the PSP multiple times at home, and I wasn't 100% satisfied with its performance, as it sometimes crashed. But I decided to return after a big disappointment during my vacation: it was disconnecting every 5s, even at night when there were not many users on the network. BTW, I set the PS5 to the lowest resolution. The only time you can use it is when you have a high-speed network, and wherever you're going, there is a high-speed network. Other than that, it's a waste of money.

    Little to no lag

    Overall, I think the portal gives a pretty good experience. It's great for people who want to game while the TV is occupied with something else, and want the full experience you get while playing directly on your PS5. The biggest surprise for me was that there's almost no lag. Even side by side with your TV, the difference is hardly noticeable. One of the biggest reasons I purchased was the ability to remote play on other wifi networks, and it definitely exceeded my expectations there. Again, there was almost no lag. Even playing 2k, where you have to time your shot well, I wasn't disrupted by lag at all despite my PS5 being over 100 miles away.

    Great if you don’t have a second tv to play your ps5 on. It sometimes has connectivity issues, but other than that it works smooth.

    Ima give it a 5/5, because it’s cool, but you really don’t need it. I like to buy everything and judge it’s worth afterwards, you do not need this. I played it twice, just show my friends but I never used it in my real life.

    Pretty solid device! I wasn’t sure how much I was going to use this but am pleasantly surprised. It works really well and I don’t even have the best of internet. My 2 biggest complaints would be the touchpad you have to tap twice to register as a touch (not sure if there’s a fix for this) and games that require you dragging on the touchpad you’re basically covering the screen while doing so. Second I had to get the new headset since this doesn’t use Bluetooth headsets… not a fan of that at all… but everything else is great!

    I was skeptical about this product because I already owned a Steam deck. Having decided to try it, I was pleasantly surprised. Good battery life, pleasant grip and vibration. The screen was also a pleasant surprise, although it is not OLED. If you also do not always have the opportunity to play in front of the TV, I recommend giving the product a chance!

    Best option for remote play on PS5, No question. Crisp 1080p screen, loud speakers, great performan if you have stable wifi connection. A bit heavy with odd weight distribution...but still lighter and more ergonomic than any alternative. Awkward USB-C location...power and volume buttons locations are tricky.

    I really enjoy being able to play some of my games handheld. However, sometimes the connection between the Portal and my PS5 is rough or slow so some games are more difficult to play than others sometimes. Overall though I really like it.

    It’s exactly how it’s advertised for use. It streams your PS5 to the handheld as long as you have a strong internet connection. I did use my mobile hotspot without running into issues as well as using my own WiFi, but when I went over to a friend’s house I did run into some lag. It all just depends on your internet connection if you know you already don’t have a good internet connection you will bump into issues. I do take it every where I go. Runs single player games rather smoothly but for multiplayer games you will have a very small input delay. Once you get use to it, it really doesn’t bother.

    A nice little device that lets you play your Playstation games without having to use a TV. Would be awesome if you didn't need to have a Playstation 5 or an internet connection to play some of these games, but it works great as intended.
