This looks pretty interesting depending on the price

I know the article says this but it is very ugly. Though having steamdeck competition isnt a bad thing. Why do so many of these handles have the worst analog sticks?

Tbh it's not the worst thing I've seen. At least it doesn't look uncomfortable.

I prefer comfort over looks any day. IMO the Steam Deck isn't a beauty either lol

Price/ spec dependent obviously.

The PC handheld market these days is quite competitive, so they'll really need to nail the price to performance ratio if they wish to compete.

I'm not sure that the switch style sticks are the best choice for a full fat x86 device, but who knows. We'll have to see!

Someone on discord said that Max Zhou (Anbernic employee) cancelled the device since they couldn't price it competitively

Look good, but will probably be overpriced. It's hard to compete with the Steam Deck

The one I'm waiting for is the GPD Win Mini. It goes back to the original clamshell design. It's the only Windows device on the market that is actually pocket-sized.
