Powerful, portable PC gaming, designed for comfort and a console-like user experience.
It provides a KDE desktop out of the box. It’s not locked down, there is nothing console about it except in vague appearance because it comes with joysticks. If it lets my write my own code (which it does) and run them (which it does) then it is a general purpose computer.
Ergonomically I would plug in a keyboard rather than write Python on the touchscreen, but I would do that with a desktop too.
It’s okay that your wrong. It’s obvious that you’ve never used one, or really understand what it is. Which is a general purpose computing device.
OK, OK. I will ask our IT to buy some for the office, since it’s such a general purpose computer, it’s cheaper than laptops we’re using. I would probably buy one for my mom, tax season is coming up, she will like the upgrade, her computer is quite old, and this general purpose computer will help her a lot. Then I will get one for my wife, this general purpose computer will help her with her scientific research. I would probably not get one for my uncle, he’s not great with computers, and the only thing he does is playing games, some dedicated gaming console will better suit him, he’s always a bit confused with the general purpose laptops, he’ll need something that’s dedicated for gaming.
Think? I have one, and I’ve had it for just over two years.
It’s a portable PC with joysticks for it’s primary input.
Even the sales page refers to it being a portable PC and only “console-like”.
