Ugh I'm so curious about getting one but I haven't usually taken well to game consoles
If you’ve got the money for it, absolutely snag one. It doesn’t feel like a console to me (like an Xbox) but it’s got the functionality of one while still very much being a computer. I’ve owned an Xbox and have a gaming desktop and I only touch the desktop when I play VR games. It’s totally changed how I play games.
I used mine as a gaming "desktop" with a USB hub while I was moving and my desktop was in storage for a few months. I could play casual csgo and a few other games without issue.
Hell ya. I use it as a portable console and plug it into my home theatre to play games on the big screen
