I feel like ign hasn’t been reputable, and I haven’t agreed with their reviews in a long time (10+ years). I love the hell outta my deck. It’s perfect for the older rpgs and indies imo. Laptop and ps5 do the heavy lifting. Saying that, I love my portal already. It does what it’s supposed to while being insanely comfortable to hold. Can deck do the same thing with chiaki? Yes. Is it a luxury item? Probably. The real take is that you shouldn’t compare apples to oranges.
Depends on the model you bought as well. If you got the 512, you can wait a little, get a better battery and 1tb for the same price…unless you already bought the lcd at the reduced price that is.
The lcds are only till supplies last I gathered. Maybe their gearing up for the collectors. About 20 years too early if you ask me, though.
