There are a ton of issues and returns so far. Good luck hope you don't get a lemon.

This thing intrigued me from the start, and I considered getting one. Most of the issues come from the SD card reader. There is a way to replace the SSD with a larger one. I'm curious to hear your thoughts!

I just booted it up, installing steam on it, yes the sd card I read if it’s performance mode could fry it, but I don’t think I’ll need it in the mode, just playing Civ and rpg games. But it has alot of internal memory. I’ll keep you guys posted

I picked up a deck, didn't care for Linux or the battery life. Decided to get a laptop then they announced this thing. It really intrigues me but now I have a nice laptop. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on it

So far last night when my daughter went to bed, I was able to do some basic stuff, got Xbox game pass and steam. I’ll say trails in the sky looks amazing, it’s quiet , sound is good. I tried to play Civ 6 on it and it wanted me to play via touch screen, but I’ll map it tonight to play normally. But so far it’s pretty cool. Not 800$ cool yet. But it is legit a mini computer, I just thought it was a different version a steam deck tbh. But I’ll play around more tonight

It's great that this thing exists, the Steam Deck needs competitors. I am going to wait for an RDNA 3 Steam deck I think, if one does indeed release.. you have to think they are working on a Steam Deck 2.

Was it on sale somewhere? I wouldn't mind grabbing one for that price.

No was able to acquire it locally, from Facebook marketplace

Looks like Lenovo is jumping into the ring but it will have the new Phoenix chips from AMD... so I may not have to wait long for a RDNA 3 portable.
