    Anyone got this?

    Fantastic Portable device for gaming. Runs games like Elden Ring and * of War on a handheld device.

    Also can play all emulators up to PS3 at near full speed as well.

    Anyone sitting on the fence with this,just to say its outstanding you can play games like this on the go.

    Got mine this past week.

    Brilliant machine.

    I believe that may be them pretty much caught up on pre-orders now.

    Just curious on use cases, when do you guys play it? Just in the house on the couch or out and about?

    What kind of battery life do you see?

    Still early days for me, but it loads back in to a (active) game instantly when you turn it on again, so squeezing out half hour sessions at work.
    Also good at home on the couch while others are watching crap on the telly

    Probably a solid 2hrs of hard gaming out of it, I think?

    Everyone thinks about travel etc. but this is the best use case for handheld in my opinion. :50:
