Edit: The coupon seems to be working now. Weird.
What other consoles should we be considering for the same price? I also have an old Motorola z2 force which has a snapdragon 835 with 4GB ram.

The rp5 has an even older chip than the t820. It's not weak, just underpowered for anything above GC and PS2

And saying it's underpowered for anything above PS2 and GC is stretching the truth. This device has issues running a number of PS2 games. I would say it's good enough for the majority of PS2's library but I wouldn't buy this as a dedicated PS2 emulator.
The fact it got 23 upvotes when it was 130 tells me it's usually higher than that.

The RG406H has only been out for 5 months but the historical low was around $120 ish. If you want good value, you'll have to wait a year+. For example the TrimUI Smart Pro and Powkiddy X55 were close to $100 a year to a year and a half ago but are now under $50 on sale. The rg35xxsp was $70+ last year and went on sale for $35 a couple weeks back.

Is there any chance this has bluetooth audio (the RG35XX series sort of does, but it's hacky) and then is there any chance this has usb-c video out through a dock? I really would like to be able to use a Steamdeck/computer dock to play on TV, and not have to run an extra microHDMI
