"truly one of the best Bluetooth headphones that you can buy, especially if you're an Apple user."

"you've got a little bit of foam inside the ear tip, which actually helps kind of push the silicone up against your ear canal and really block out any sound without any active noise cancelling."

"they also feel more secure. When I shake my head, they don't feel like they're going to fall out"

"The battery life is similar, somewhat worse than on the AirPods Pro 2"

"It's still in beta mode. It's still a little bit slower than I'd like it to be"

"the battery life is worse on the 3s case than it is on the 2s case. ... it's like 6 hours less, which is kind of wild, especially when the case is bigger."

"this is the most comfortable handheld device that I have ever used. I'm talking more comfortable than the Steam Deck, more comfortable than a Game Boy Advance, more comfortable than any other handheld device that I've ever used."

"Sure, there are huge performance improvements on the ROG Ally X"

"slightly higher analog sticks and they feel significantly better. ... noticeably so. ... they feel so much more natural."

"The D-pad ... does feel a bit mushier on this new device"

"The angle at which the screen is placed. It kind of comes up like this, which is not your standard angle ... you kind of actually have to hold your hands in a different way to really get a good view of the screen."

"menu buttons on either side of the screen. ... they've moved the start and select button down to the bottom buttons. ... frustrating because I was so used to playing the other device that I kept clicking the top buttons by accident."

"this thing has power. It has flexibility, and on paper, it's one of the best handheld gaming PCs that you can buy."

"the ROG Ally X is actually the cheapest of the current high-end PC gaming handhelds, which makes this device very appealing right off the bat."

"it's actually the easiest to find in store. Neither the MSI Claw 8i Plus or even the Claw A8 are readily available in stores."

"in short, the screen is fine, but it does feel outdated against every other current handheld out there"

"because you've got an LCD display, the contrast is not going to be as good as an OLED ... The colors definitely can seem a bit washed out."

"areas that should be black are much closer to a dark gray. And honestly, it can be hard to distinguish details at times, especially in things like caves."

"the Switch 2 genuinely does feel like a generational upgrade, and I'm so excited about it."

"this console is backwards compatible with the Switch."

"the new Nintendo Switch 2 screen is 7.9 in and is significantly larger than the older Nintendo Switch OLED screen"

"one of the biggest downsides of the Nintendo Switch 2, is that Mario Kart World is actually really the only new firstp party game at launch."

"I had to upgrade my storage, which meant I had to buy a micro SD Express card because you cannot use standard micro SD cards in your Nintendo Switch 2."

"I wish Nintendo added more storage, and I wish there was larger storage sizes than 256 when it comes to micro SD Express"

"it is still an excellent console and an excellent follow-up to the Nintendo Switch 1"

"The Nintendo Switch 2 is a really good size."

"soften the edges, too, which make it more comfortable in the hand."

"full retail price of this device is $449 with the potential of the price going up because of the RAM shortage."

"while it's still not as comfortable in the hand as something like the Xbox Ally X or even the Steam Deck"

"it's still not as powerful as a gaming PC or most of the current PC gaming handholds or any of the home consoles like the PS5 or Xbox Series X."

"This is the best PC gaming handheld that I've ever used. In fact, it might even be the best handheld that I've ever used."

"It's got one of the biggest, one of the most beautiful screens that I've ever seen on a handheld gaming device."

"It's got the brand new and super fast AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme."

"but it also comes at a huge cost."

"they're impossible to find. They're always sold out."

"their price for the highest end version, which was usually at $1479, is now $1850. That is an extra $370 for the exact same device. It's absurd."

"It's as powerful as a desktop gaming PC."

"It's got one of the best looking and largest OLED displays on any handheld."

"they've redesigned the ergonomics to make it much more comfortable than the original."

"starting price of $1,100 and can be specked up to an almost absurd $1,480. That's almost 1,500 bucks. That's crazy."

"screen ratio is 16x10... meaning it's slightly taller, and that does cause some letter boxing on certain games"

"resolution is a downgrade from the last gen Lenovo Legion Go. The 2023 version came with a QHD plus 2560 by 1600 display."
