minus-squaredoggle@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·1 day agoIt’s much smaller, lighter, and cheaper than a steam deck. Seems good for emulating retro games. Definitely a niche product, but cool.

minus-squaredoggle@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 day agoMaybe. But that means a lot more diy, and once your done with buying a pi, screen, battery, and all the 3d prints, you’re in about $160 anyway.
