I love this little device. The solid feeling of the metal casing and the little screen feels good for retro gaming. It has me playing a lot more retro games than I would have ever played otherwise.

How do you like this model? I love handheld consoles. I have a Steam Deck but for traveling I'd like to get something way lighter and smaller to just toss in my bag. Tempted to dip for one of these soon.

I suppose it is a preference of metal or plastic and vertical or horizontal form factor. There is also joystick and D-Pad placement. Since I almost never use the joysticks for retro gaming I prefer the D-pad and buttons to be on the top. I also prefer the metal casing to the plastic, but it is slightly heavier.
