How is this? Better than the switch?Is it streaming only?
This is an Android based device. It is not comparable to Switch. It can't play Switch games. It can play some lightweight Android games and be used for streaming games. It can emulate games up to PS1 comfortably. Anything more advanced/current is hit and miss. It has a nice big screen though.

Hmm wonder if this or the odin lite is better at $199. Both as a stand alone android for emulation and also game streaming
If you want a larger screen, get the Logitech G cloud. Odin Lite is decent. But I would save up money to get the Odin2 Base instead. Odin2 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8Gen2, It ist he most powerful handheld right now and can emulate Switch games (when switch emulators catch up to the hardware).

Odin Lite has more power but G Cloud has better ergonomics, a larger screen, and slightly better battery. I had an Odin Lite and liked it but I think I would have rather had the G Cloud if it was cheaper since Odin Lite can't play all Gamecube games at full speed anyway.

I snagged this almost-new, super sweet handheld from Best Buy for about $230, and let me tell you, it's now one of my all-time faves in my handheld stash. I gave FC24 a whirl through remote play with my kid in the other room on his xbox, and honestly, I didn't expect this level of fun from such an inexpensive device, if I'm being real.
At $199, even if it's a refurb, I'd say it's a total no-brainer. You might wanna think about grabbing that extended warranty too, just in case.
Previous Steam deck owner here, this console at this price is great value. If you have a good gaming PC this is a fantastic accessory, moonlight streaming is solid. 1080p screen & sound is awesome, ergonomics and weight compared to Steam deck is way better. Emulation is also very good, I can run up to PS2 with slight underclocking for plenty of games. The new system update has USB-C video out which I'm looking forward to trying out, this is the price it should've been on release.

For real? This is a POS at most worth $99, it has sd720G and 4g of ram. If you really need good one pay $100 more get Odin 2, the processor is prob 4x better than this and have way 2x more ram. This thing can't even beat those Chinese no name handheld selling for $99
This device is meant for streaming, not emulation. It can do some basic emulation, but the device is meant to be used for things like Game Pass and PS5 streaming.
The ergonomics for this device are also far better than "those Chinese no name devices."

yeah all the handhelds i mentioned can do those as longa s they are android, what's so special about logitech?
they can do the same thing better and they can emulate better for the same amount of money or even cheaper, what's your point?
