This is the handheld I’ve been daily driving for the last three months, and it finally clicked for me once I leaned into what it does best: Windows compatibility and platform freedom. I like being able to install Game Pass games locally and still jump into my Steam library without feeling locked into one ecosystem.
Pros
- +Plays Windows-only and anti-cheat games like Call of Duty and Battlefield
- +Access to Game Pass installs, Steam (Big Picture), Epic, and more
- +Great grips and strong speakers for a handheld
- +Often a strong value when it drops to around $489–$500
Cons
- -Windows setup and updates can be annoying
- -Xbox full-screen UI still isn’t SteamOS-level
- -Battery life can be inconsistent in demanding games
