What a device
Firstly, excellent support and service from droidbox. I paid the bit more and got it in 2 days delivery rather than direct from China and risk getting import tax. Thanks guys.
Very very impressed. Prior to this I had the vita. Great device but limited capabilities. This gpd takes it to a whole new level. Haven't scratched the surface with the emulators it can run. But with a bit of tweeking, I have Amiga forever running no problems, and epsxe too. But that wasn't the reason I bought it.
It plays PC games. Steam games. And not too badly. You may have to scale graphics down on newer stuff and yeah you won't be able to play the latest aaa obviously, but for example, I have kingdoms of amalur reckoning running no problem. Well the was a Windows 10 crash issue but is a documented win 10 issue and the fix worked.. Runs it at about 35fps and cloud saves to continue on PC!
Memory cards are cheap, unlike vita ;)
Can plug into a TV using mini hdmi
Battery life is great
Build quality it great - was expecting a plastic case but is actually aluminium.
Nubs and buttons great
Keyboard sturdy. Great.
About the size if a Nintendo ds
Plays PlayStation now (vita no longer can)
Can remote play ps4
All programs and apps that can run at this level cpu can be installed
Not for everyone. A bit fiddly to setup but there's a good guide, although some of the guide things have been blocked by Microsoft since April update, but there are other ways if you spend time.
Gets a bit hot with high intensity games, but use common sense.
I am totally on board with this and look forward to future technology improvements over the years.
