Pros

  • Great value at $75. Beats most other devices out there at price/performance except for a few. You get great emulation performance up to the Dreamcast.
  • Size and comfort makes it a device you can game on for hours without causing any fatigue.
  • Bright and crisp screen makes it suitable even for outdoor gaming. Again one of the better screens you can get at this price point.

Cons

  • There is no built in Wi-Fi for the base version. You only get Wi-Fi if you opt for the Pure Black version at $85.
  • Not the best looking device you can get at this price point, although this is subjective.
  • Bezels are slightly on the thick side and the RK2023 branding imprinted on the bottom bezel makes it look worse.
