    My friend has one and he loves it, says it runs smoothly. When you think about the catalogue steam has of past and current games it is an amazing machine.

    I was thinking about getting one but ended up with a gaming laptop, they do look cool.

    Might still get one.

    I can just imagine me explaining to the mrs when it lands at the door lol

    Just ordered myself one of the 512gb ones. How have you lads found it?

    Im buzzing tbh everything I’ve read and heard about it makes it sound class. One of my bigger motivators was that I’ll be doing a fair bit of travelling this summer.

    Looks like a cracking wee device and everybody seems to be raving about it, But a have already got a gaming PC and laptop along with a PS5 and Series S so cant justify it at the minute, my next big gaming purchase will be the PSVR 2 in the summer when my finances will be better.

    Got one in January, it's good for emulating all the older consoles, pretty nice to play PS2 games handheld

    How well does it play PS2 games and is it better with some than others? If it can handle PS2 I assume Gamecube is smooth too?

    I can honestly say, that this is the best money i have ever invested. THE best product for money i have ever bought.

    Have had it for 3-4 months now and use it for a couple of hours every day. Playing World of Warcraft on it and can use it for 4-5 hours on one charge.

    Incredible machine. Only thing i regret is not holding out for a couple of months, because if you buy one today (for the same price) you get a OLED display and a little bit bigger screen size plus better battery.

    If you get one, get a dock and voila you have a powerful gaming pc.
