Hi

So my GPD Win Mini 2025 crapped out. I am looking for a replacement and unfortunately the local stores have more or less have abandoned handheld PCs that are not Steam. Like all stores have stopped stocking and seem to be trying to get rid of them. I also don't want to do IGG again as I got screwed over by GPD and got almost into trouble because they lied about the price.

The only options available are the X1 Pro 470 32GB and the Apex 395 48GB. The prices are very close at like $1750 (Apex) vs $1833 (X1 Pro). Those prices are inclusive of everything. I am leaning towards the Apex because of the detachable battery (fears about battery crapping out), better controller and better store warranty.

Which is the better item in your opinion? I just plan to play this on a bench or car. This would not be the main device for playing.

Although if I didn't mind the downgrade, I could go for an Ally X Xbox, as an alternative but from online sellers in next door countries (Alternatively MSI Claw A8 is there too but nothing else). My fear with OneXPlayer is that the controls are pretty bad. I had the original OneXPlayer and the DPAD was so bad.

Thank you

edit:

Would you also agree that the prices seem to be them trying to get rid of them?

edit 2:

Will probably lean towards Apex.

So I will start, I found that the desperation moves in Blazing Tornado (arcade game) can be done on low health and mashing A and B during grab (not mentioned in the tutorial the game provides). The guides are for the tweaked Saturn version.

On Saturn, they give it away in the manual but it's a complicated per character sequence.
