It's a comfy machine for gaming. If you can get it for 300 bucks it ain't overpriced at all if you consider the alternatives.

>They also made a better Unbuntu version, but that doesn't have a gamepad.
That's much bigger also and really not meant for gaming.

Overpriced shit.

For the same money buy a nice CRT, a real system, a flash cart, and comfortable chair. Then sit down and play some old games in a way you can actually appreciate them and enjoy them instead of playing them as a mindless way to pass 20 minutes.

When you're out in public and bored spend your time looking around or talking to people. Leave the video games at home.

If you -must- play games in public just buy an old PSP.

It costs the same as any netbook with the compareable specs (no harddrive for obvious reasons). Except this one is 4 times smaller, pocketable and has a built-in controller, so it's definitely not overpriced.

Whether or not it'll perform well as an emulation machine is a different matter. Controller is OK, not the best, but it's decent and has all the necessary buttons. Battery life is ~3.5hrs of intense play (modern PC games/Gamecube emulation) or ~5hrs of not-so-intense play (emulation up to PSX, MAME, old PC games) with manual CPU limiting.

It can play PC games up to ~2007 in relative comfort with some tweaking, and stuff up to 2013 with major tweaking. Morrowind and Oblivion are rather uncooperative with Win10 thouhg and run worse than Skyrim.

Only buy from official AliExpress store to get the newest version (better buttons and sticks), or else you risk getting inferior ones.

If you don't intend on playing anything above PSX and can live without superior N64 emulation - consider getting GPD XD (android, no keyboard) since it has better battery life and is much cheaper.

I agree with the modern PC games but I got 5 hours with GameCube emulation too, playing SMS

You won't be interacting with the OS that much if you plan just gaming with it, Windows does have the benefit of well supported emulators and decades of native games.

I have a backer unit and I really do need to get around to replacing it, they will do it I just keep putting it off.

Not retro but playing lost Planet 2 on a portable blows my god damn mind. It's also nice to be able to download games right off the net and play them on the same device, no jumping hoops to load them onto your device or your SD card or whatever. Finally it's cool to play dos on the go with an actual keyboard.
