    man i wish i had one of these things. my mom destroyed my gaming collection after she got me kicked out from my apartment because she wanted me to come back home so bad. they landlord let her come with a moving truck and take everything i had under the story she was taking it to storage. my years and years of collecting consoles and games are gone :( now im homeless and just stuck watching all these videos and man i miss gaming. that was my only escape from this horrible lifestyle... this is my dream devices fr.

      You could panhandle $200 get a Odin lite and download a bunch of emulators. Start a RUclips channel the homeless gamer review and maybe you could make a living doing that. Or just use your phone and talk about games then post them. Set up a Patreon also.

    I'm reading Reddit and watching stuff, because I'm thinking to get one for fun. I need new toy. It's not bad device, but the battery life is mediocre.Also many people refunded it, because they are complaining about stick dead zones. Also the Armoury Create software is said to suck. Since i'm very very high-end / enthusiast of PC user and having ASUS motherboard and various AURA enabled devices (incl. Strix RTX 4090)... I'm using it for that... and man I hate it. It's very buggy software.

    I tried it at Best Buy and it’s an amazing machine. That screen is beautiful. The display unit was really hot at the top, played the Forza horizon 4 demo on it and it was amazing. Just can’t justify it for myself because I have an awesome gaming laptop and I could always stream to my phone on my home network and actually have better graphic settings. And away from home it just won’t have the battery life to make it worthwhile.
