If you buy this now's , get ready for tiny texts and unoptimized games. MS has been trying for years to branch into mobile and failed because windows was built for desktop. The only way of this device to make any dent if it was run on os that was meant for mobile.

I think they're trying to market to both PC and Console (like Xbox Play Anywhere), but I don't know why they just don't go full windows and ditch the xbox.
PC's are getting smaller and smaller, and like this device you can actually run windows on it with decent performance.
If you ask me, it's time to retire xbox just like Nintendo did ... just my 2c
It is also not great to have mouse and keyboard just to lunch a game. Console provides much smoother experience.

But I do hope that Asus and Microsoft continue to improve the handheld Windows gaming experience. Competition is good.
