Pros

  • The Ryzen 5800U may not be as new as the Ryzen 6800U but it is still a great performer. Emulation is supported up to PS3 without any issues. Performance and graphical quality may be better than what you get on recent consoles.
  • Device supports fast charging and it can be charged from 0% to 100% in 1.5 hours.
  • Buttons come with hall sensing technology and they are accurate. It also comes with great analog triggers.
  • It is powerful enough to be used as a Windows productivity machine when connected to external monitors.
  • Smaller than the Steam Deck.

Cons

  • Pricey. Difficult to justify its price against the Steam Deck.
  • 7 inch 720P screen may be a decision made for better battery life but it is not good enough to double the device as a portable Windows productivity device.
  • Battery life is only about 2 hours depending on what games you play.
  • Due to its short battery life and size, it isn’t really a device you can bring along on a flight or a train ride.
