I have to say that products like this leave me cold.   Why on earth would you want to spend that much on handheld hardware when the potential usage is so small.   99.9% of the time you'll find yourself near a PC or laptop and they'll do a better job.  I guess for that 'must game' moment whilst standing in a tube train?  :doh:

LAN machine for us air passengers. I believe it can run L4D2 at 60fps full Ultra on a 1080p screen.

Seriously, I just think Nintendo need a competitor and if it's one that lets people play games they own, and it catches on, then it levells the playing field a little in the handheld market.  Also as a gamer on basically anything I can run a game on, I find the phone spec needed for real enjoyment to be of the highest level. Stadia and XBox are a little disappointing on phones as well.

When the Nintendo Switch Pro arrives, I would seriously consider not buying it and putting my money into an alternative. And I love the Switch, not so Nintendo.

Not for everyone but just sharing :)
