It's a (kind of) portable PC. A much clunkier version of the Switch, which for some that might be a good thing as the Switch is mostly a toy.

It's not for everyone for sure, but it's an excellent way to have every PC game, including emulators, on the go... Which is basically 90% of all games ever created.

Personally I wouldn't take it outside my house, but I could see myself bringing it with me if I were to travel a lot.

I use mine as a desktop replacement since I don't want a full PC sitting around. I dock it via USBC, use desktop mode, and it's pretty good. It has more than enough power for me, and it's nice to be able to undock it and just take it somewhere

I do wish the desktop mode was slightly better when portable. It was a little inconvenient issuing CLI commands from my bed last night. Still better than doing it on a phone screen though for sure.
