This bad boy goes up for sale now. Are you picking one up? Which color? Correction: the LID has magnets, NOT the hinge (please excuse my shortcomings). Also in the battery is draining while in sleep mode like the 28XX, so id suggest setting the lid to auto shut down when putting it down for more than a few hours until that's corrected.

I love the design of this one. Already got myself a Miyoo Mini Plus and an Anbernic RG556 this year, so at this point, the only reason I could want something new is a fancy design gimmick like a clamshell, and the price-to-performance of this against the Miyoo Mini Flip makes it seem like the clamshell to get.

Does it come preloaded with all those games or do you have to download them?

I'm excited to see what we can do with these bones. I think there's good potential to improve the ABXY buttons, but I'll need to get one open to see how much space there is. I assume they used a new type of buttons because of some limitation, but we shall see. We definitely need to address the battery touching the CPU or you'll have a pregnant LiPO exploding your device from the inside after a couple years of use. Maybe a little slice of ceramic fiber insulation would do the trick?

Likely not... we all know it's true. Rappid fire controllers on the NES started it all.

Chances are their button keyswitches are either done out of necessity or availability.

"Stubbs has got a fever... and the only prescription is more clamshell!" I enjoyed this first look. 3AM Stubbs managed to hit the right balance of zany and serious which made this first-look video a pleasure to watch. I don't really have anything else to add about the device. I'm interested because the Anbernic SP is cool like the backside of the pillow. Well, metaphorically speaking anyways. I do have one question: if I were to buy this to use, in part, as an MP3 player does it play through the headphone jack with the lid closed and/or screen off? Finally, you mentioned Flexispot as a sponsor. I like their desks a lot. I also like their social media team. A couple years ago their KZread channel sponsored a comment writing contest. The prompt was "your best desktop organization tips" and my comment was good enough, or lucky enough, to win a $50 Amazon gift card. That's the first time I'd ever won anything online.

I’m trying to find the right handheld emulator for me. Primarily I want to play Pokemon rom hacks; which I imagine aren’t too complicated to load on to a system like this.

I would mainly play GBA games on this device I will definitely be picking one (maybe two) up.

I was undecided between the DMG color and the Transparent Blue. But from the Anbernic ''trailers'' in the DMG the edges of the display are black (as for the other color displays), while in reality, as can be seen from the purchase page and from some examples that reviewers have, the edges of the display are white... Unfortunately the white edges with the ''white'' frame of the console around it, seem to have too much excess edge. I really don't like it. They therefore simplified the choice for blue xD Maybe later, I'll take the DMG and mount the display with black borders..
