way too poor for it even if i was interested

looking to see how it does initially anyways

i'm semi-expecting hardware issues like switches joycon drifting

Ooooooo I've heard about this a while ago! It honestly looked so tempting to preorder it ngl. But idk... Im just so used to using a PC *for* PC games, it would have been strange to move to handheld when I also have a switch too. I think I would prefer to keep the handheld games on the switch rather than having some crossover. Ito does look really cool though

Well its a handheld console, with a custom OS with a bios locked bootloader and no expanded IO(USB-C doesn't really count, thats the bare basics...).... So I couln't be any less interested if I tried. Tiny active cooling so the fan squeel will be annoying and hardware will be throttled by cooling so expect to be playing it inside your freezer. And the tinyest battery known to man... My wristwatch has a bigger battery....
I dunno, I have a 6" laptop that can do more... But then again I don't like consoles anyway so its not really for me anyway...

I think for me i'm definitely on the *Wait for reviews* team. I could see myself enjoying it, but i'll wait and see - definitely not a high priority when I spend a lot of time atm at home on my PC anyway!
