Isn't it a bad trend,
when each next handheld is "a little heavier"?

"Polygon:" Stopped reading there. I'll wait for impressions from outlets that don't have social agendas.
DS lite could barely fit in my pocket. 3DS OG was catch as catch can.

This is a dumb question, but will it be BC for the Xbox OG and the X360, XOne?
I mean, they're saying it's a console, aren't they?

I get the complaint because not everyone is the same and it also depends on how people find comfort in holding a handheld. But dayyum, my AR is like 5lbs unloaded and easy to wield. My gf complains about the weight though she has gotten used to it. The BAR on the other hand is one of the heaviest guns I've ever fired, just brutal.
Over the years I've definitely gotten out of handheld gaming. I like having the option, say if we go on vacation or something, but my neck and eyes prefer the big screen every time. That and most of these PC handhelds and the Switch 1 just felt too cumbersome to me, they lack good hand ergonomics. I'd have to invest in some better grips but I'm just not interested in that at all.

We need to start a social media campaign to get all the writers for Polygon to release their bicep measurements. We'll need height and weight too, because being fat doesn't count for having big arms. It's like a guy without a job bragging about having the day off.

No, they're saying it's a PC, but being very sneaky about it. Does not play any Xbox console games, at all.

I have no issue with the Steam Deck or even the Legion Go, but my hands get cramped after a few minutes with the switch 2. The lack of grips really hurts the ergonomics of the device, though it can be easily fixed with some after-market grips.Cant lift the Ally ?, no problem, there is a console for you.
It's a pity, Nintendo could have gone with a thicker more ergonomic design allowing them to fit in a bigger battery. It is no way a portable and i do not see how that aspect would be hurt by slightly bulking it.

"For those that can't lift the Xbox Ally we have another Xbox, it's called the Nintendo Switch 2"Cant lift the Ally ?, no problem, there is a console for you.

Was cautiously optimistic for this, but seeing the 7inch screen and now that they have stated the OS is locked to ASUS for the time being screams BETA. This OS is going to come in hot and heavy. Still going to be a few more years to get this OS good IMHO.

Only through streaming, officially. But it's Windows so unofficially you can use emulators. I googled on ROG Ally and emulation and found a ton of different videos showing off Xbox, 360, even PS3 emulation,

No slot to put the SSD expansion card. That saved a gram or two.

I wouldn't even want the impressions. It was at Fan Fest in a controlled setting. Its the same people that all had positive closed door previews of Redfall.
