Absolutely love the portal it works perfect with my ps5 pro. Just make sure there's a great wifi connection and you can play anywhere! (Also if you don't have a PS5 to remote play, you can use your PlayStation plus premium account and stream games over the cloud.)
My experience buying through best buy is easy and the workers are knowledgeable, easy find easy check-out.

Product is good if somebody is using the tv, graphics are great. A few flaws, it lags quite a bit, especially if your far from the ps5 console. Which unfortunately also means you cant save games to it to play while on the go. Other than that, its a decent device to use for the price

If you have decent wifi and play the online stuff or a weak game on your ps5, this thing is great. You play a game like Palworld and your controls stop working right, tons of latency issues. Hey its a fun cheap accessory that works at least half the time.

The perfect accessory for a PlayStation Fan with loose bowel , and /or a needy wife .. now when she begs me to come to bed , I just go , but bring the portal.. so now she has company and I can play helldivers 2 .. happy spouse , happy house..
Tho it IS NOT A Portable PlayStation .. just a controller connected to a WiFi enabled oled remote screen .. so only useful if you want to play in a WiFi 6 environment , It has very specific uses , and it fits perfect into my needs.. if you ever find your self at home and want to play ps5 but be free to sit anywhere your WiFi covers , then I highly recommend
At the same price as the PlayStation edge controller , which has a pitiful battery . I find this a far more useful peripheral.. all around ..

The PlayStation Portal is an overall great product with only a few drawbacks.
Positives:
1) If you have a strong connection you can play anywhere, not just on your home WiFi
2) The controller design feels really nice*
3) The screen is pretty good for being an LCD
The Negatives:
1) The connection has to be good and have no interference, if you're on a 2.4GHz WiFi signal you'll probably have issues
2) The touchpad choice is kind of poor, requiring a double tap for a click and a double tap + a third held for a held on the screen.
3) The audio lacks really fine adjustment, which I have found to lead to it being slightly loud, or almost muted.
4) The screen appears to not be HDR which on a few occasions seemed like it lead to some weird color crushing issues.
Overall the PS Portal is a great piece that I would highly recommend for someone who has kids that want the TV or someone who wants to play less realtime games while out of the house.

I leave my PS5 hooked up to my livingroom TV and occasionally move it to my bedroom. I bought the Portal with mild expectations as I knew the latency might be an issue. Tbh, when playing Spiderman 2, i cant really tell there is a delay but when playing Call of Duty I notice it. My PS5 is hardwied and I am using a Ubiquity UniFi UAP-AC-PRO.

The color is nice the system is awesome only thing I have a problem with is the connection stability with the internet it loses connection and then reconnects even when it’s on the same network and it’s a pain to hook up to the hotspot

I knew what i was buying when i bought it, so my disappointment is really in myself. It is BEAUTIFUL and has a great screen, great controls, feels good in the hands, but just being a streaming device SUX!!! Playing your PS5 in your own house with the Portal works amazing, playing in a hotel room is sketchy at best, pick your game appropriately. Network heavy games, from the portal over a hotel network to your machine at home, etc etc, is going to lag, single player games are still going to lag but you won't miss much. If you are getting this for travel, rethink it. If you are getting this for connections between 2 homes, it should be ok.
