This is with kodi indexing my library and steam downloading titles.

Man this is a powerful little box, augmented with 24tb USB attached storage for media, two of the 3 SSDs populated with 4tb wd blacks. And ofc ddr5 8000. All for under a grand with no SSD.

I did have 1 issue getting it up - some guy helped me here, media creation tool from Ms was the problem, switching to generic windows iso fixed it.

To aoostars credit - the responded about the free windows key on their page, and for my queries for assistance / link to new bios -but the windows iso was fine and I'll wait for posted releases and others to test first.

Make sure you bring over the Intel 2.5gbe drivers when you install, windows takes care of rest. Quiet little bugger too

I couldn't believe the ram difference with bosgame hx 370, I immediately returned it. It's 43% more mem bandwidth which benefits all workloads. Holds 3 nvme's like bosgame too but also has vapor chamber. Learn from my mistake. No new PC this weekend.

I don't know guys, I'm really considering a truxton cab now -

They had to recreate a few things here - a new, but largely similar experience. Why did it attract us back then? It was one of the most beautiful 16 bit schmups anyone had every seen, and even against today's standards of gorgeous and they killed it here.

On top of it, it was a good game and it had to have all of it this time around - a little new, by the standards of the time blow any schmup you've ever seen away. Perfect amount of new with out changing the overall experience. Must play if you're an arcade sweat

A shooter I finally do not want scanlines on. Just amazing a++++ y'all must try this if you're an arcade fan of the series.

I am a very tall guy with big features, and using a phone can be problematic selective small things on screen. I've been waiting for a fast refresh, 5g 8.8 tab to switch too - and if you have been too, it's here. I won't waste time on much review space l, only real drawback is the thermal throttling on switch games / windows games emulation - but I have a y700 with telescoping controller -

So my use case is strictly phone, media functions like netflix, facebook, IG, and reddit -

Now, if youve been waiting for a while like me, you also know Lenovo is dropping one next month, supposedly 699$, 5g etc.

Lenovo has a thinner case, and I think is coming with oled now, and will do the heaviest of emulation with ease, but you're going to pay essentially double. Ive had a very high quality top grain leather folio I've been dying to use - replaces my wallet completely, fits inside a tiny murse of with ease.

I would love to see these become more mainstream as phones

Def worth the pickup if you're not will to spend 700, 800 on it -

My son passed young, and I've been a stacker since finding this place. I reached out to someone on reddit in this forum who did the work for me 13 years ago.

I had 2 made - one for my wife. The back is stamped with his initials and DOB

I've been hearing this looked like crap docked, not at all and while sf6 is the only title I think is flawless in handheld, crap when docked, this was far more immersive on a bigger screen and looked amazing at 1440p

Was a hard core gamer and n64 came out when I was 19, just met my future wife, getting started in life - so I never played star fox 64.

If you haven't either, this should be a day one buy and I hope this is signaling they are rebooting the series.

Really nice, 60fps arcade shooter type fun. Like a modern day arcade game at home.

You get modern steam arcade games at 120fps, up to ps3 emulation at 1080p 60.

Running on a 27" touchscreen 144hz - the base hardware was only 800$ (open box rog ally extreme and monitor).

I use 8bitdo wireless arcade stick, Xbox gamepad, and iCode spinner and trackball controllers.

It's literally a flawless arcade setup that covers everything at 1080p max quality and high fps modern arcade gaming for under 1000$. The touchscreen steam navigation means no keyboard or mouse needed.

Now the two iCode controllers and 8bitdo wireless stick + Xbox gamepad for the gamut of controllers will set you back close to 500$, but that's about 1300$. If you need bass for your dopamine experience like I do, add another 200$ for a decent sound system. That's 1500$ all in, but you can take it as cheap or as far as you want to go.

Most people would be all in / happy with a simple Xbox controller.

Heck of a setup that is convenient, fast / fun interaction with ui / game selection.

5 categories - no selection fatigue with organization and browsing.

It has super granular config options, and you can set it to mouse control and gamepad buttons. I set it up once, and freely move from steam to mame with no config changes at all. Really a nice addition to the arcade unit I'm building out, small enough to keep ready and not clutter the space, heavy enough to use on desk or holding in hand.

Definitely picking up there trackball option. I know this only gives me access to 15 games or so that I may play 5% of time. And 150$ a device it isn't cheap to access those games with the original control, but man, they feel and play so good.

Spinner control on modern Arkanoid at 120fps is just so satisfying.
