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.
