Pros

8.4-inch display with 1600p resolution offers a bright, vivid, and luxurious gaming experience.
Capable of delivering strong performance and is comparable to devices with 7500 MHz RAM, especially at higher TDPs.
Features a large 75w hour battery which should make it a reliable choice for extended use.
Comes with multiple input options including trackpads, gyro, and back paddles, offering a range of control options similar to the Steam Deck.
Works effectively with Linux gaming, particularly with Chimera OS.

Cons

This is one of the most expensive handhelds in the market, with a significant price tag that may be a barrier for many users.
At almost 1 Kg, it’s heavier and larger than many competitors, which might affect portability and comfort during extended use.
The screen’s high reflectivity can be problematic in the outdoors.
Trackpads are positioned too low and they are awkward to use for real-time input in games.
Speakers are a step down compared to some competitors, lacking depth and clarity in the high-end range.
