If you are gaming at home or often a desk that makes sense. But if you travel often for work, commute on public transit like a subway or metro, or wanna game in bed or a recliner this would probably be a much more comfortable option​@@reverendcoffinsotherson5807

Very interesting device!❤️ Sure, it needs some improvements but its indeed unique and I can't help myself to feel like this kind of device could make Nintedo a little bit nervous. Love❤️

[@LucaAmadeus]

How long did it take you during gaming to really feel the weight? I feel like the steam deck is almost too heavy sometimes. However I'm really intruiged by the idea of a handheld which also doubles as a mini laptop

Need a comparison between rog ally x and this device

[@marksapollo]

This is more like it! Good AMD processor and a nice big screen for those of us with older eyes lol. I got rid of my Steam Deck because of the smaller screen.

[@youzernejm]

Forgive me father, for I have biased. There should be a support group for reviewers, biased synonymous! That could be a great thing! The device is entering the "just pick a laptop" territory in my opinion. It's just too big to be comfortable. That said, I've always been against 12" tablets, and the market didn't really agree with me.

[@CheapOneLiners]

[6:45] My keen ear has picked up the melodic tones of T.Dweeb on the recorder. I imagine this is the sort of thing he'd be doing if you were to come across him in the woods.

I'm actually the owner of a different OneX product: the OneX Netbook 5, a 10" mini laptop. It's actually fantastic; it has insane specs for a 10" machine and it's great for meetings and quick on the go use. So yeah, I'm also biased about OneX. I think they make surprisingly good products.

[@Antisympathy]

Would have been nice to see the orange and black throughout the theme of this system and maybe add some purple accents…I like orange and black together too 😮

[@Caba-Rojo]

I backed out of the first X1 launch because of their reliance on the Intel processors. Got a Kun instead. If it was this instead of the Kun I think I would’ve done this with an OneXGPU

[@Rockysbeats]

im a pocket guy so i dont usually like the big bulky stuff like the steam deck. but if your guna go big might as well go all out! this looks cool but seems a little awkward to hold. maybe if the controllers were positioned lower and the screen could tilt it would look more comfortable to hold and neither of those d pads will be accurate but i still admire the ingenuity of this beast

[@beowolf410]

Definitely an odd device but for someone who needs a laptop and handheld it would be perfect

[@Hito343]

Looks like we're not there yet, need at least those 60fps for a smooth experience while not running everything at low. If we ever get there, games get more demanding, APUs advance a bit cycle. Love the screen tho definitely something I would buy if it was more powerful as it's tablet, laptop everything, the small screens of deck or switch are just not for me it's too small. Great review

[@dragon2knight]

So...black and orange M&M's are your kryptonite, eh? 🙃 I honestly don't like tablet style gaming handhelds. Pretty awkward to hold for long and pretty hard to travel with in my experience. They do usually have decent battery life so they have that going for them, but that's really it for me. That screen IS gorgeous though. As always fantastic review Mr. Dweeb.

[@Enratic]

The mini version is the better choice. Smaller screen which means when you need to lower the resolution for games the image will look slighrly better.

[@swilco266]

I have their 4800u Handheld. It's great though very underpowered these days. When I got it the big players weren't available in my country. Now they are I'd likely pass on these, despite how good they are for the simple reason if anything goes wrong good luck dealing with China whereas the Ally X I'm getting, I can just return it to the shop I bought it from.

[@bland9876]

"Gaming hardware for hardcore gamers. Uh ya they wrote it right on the thing thats stupid" This episode sponsored by DBRAND and here's an orange dbrand skin for the thing. Honestly because you can cover it up with the kickstand it's not as bad.

[@Agumon5]

For me it's all about the aesthetics. And aesthetically, I hate the way this device looks. The screen just sticks out so much from those controller handles. I cannot have a device that does something with that. Same reason why I hated the PlayStation portal. Like my devices to all be at relatively the same size, to look like they all come together in design, like the Nintendo switch or RG35XXH, hell even the Lenovo legion go. This device just looks like they're splicing some controllers into a tablet. This device just wouldn't even be in consideration for me.
