Looks like the thing granny buys when you wanted a Switch or Deck.

Pretty good but it wasn't quite powerful enough that I was willing to trade up for it from a Pocket 4 Pro

I think that dual-screen addon is cool conceptually but in practice it's dumb as fucking dirt, until we get a RESISTIVE touchscreen and a STYLUS FOR IT we'll never have good DS emulation. It's going to be mostly good for 3DS which rarely if ever uses the touchscreen outside of Kid Icarus Uprising

Bro I'm so glad that the gaming market is now focused on handhelds. I totally didn't stop caring after 2010.

I didn't care about retro handhelds until I needed to take multiple 8 hour plane trips in a row. Absolute lifesaver.

Ergonomics are shit
Glass front is shit
Hard to even grip it properly without a grip
Not as powerful as you think it is. It's a complete waste.
Shell out more for the Odin or get a Steam Deck.

The second screen attachment intrigues me. Is it possible to connect a capture card to this?

You'll sit there wishing it can do more and then all of a sudden you've bought a ROG Ally X
