Those strengths had me excited to load up some AAA games and see what the beast was capable of.

It’s a little less densely packed than Nintendo’s machine and it has comfortable hand grooves, rather than just being a big rectangle. It’s about two times as thick as a Switch, though it’s not as heavy as it may look - it’s actually lighter and smaller than the Steam Deck, which terrifies me. The whole thing is comically large and features a giant top vent that loudly blows air out like a train smokestack. The Mini also doesn’t feature a kickstand, unlike the standard Onexplayer model. It’s a step above the Switch’s Joy-cons, though they can’t be detached from the console. You’ve got a standard ABXY setup with triggers, bumpers, two sticks that smoothly pivot, and a proper D-pad. The controller shell is well built, mostly taking its cues from Xbox. PC grade cooling fans help extend battery life and reduce lag, though. The battery only lasts for around two hours when running games, which isn’t great for those hoping to take it on a long subway ride. It comes with an 11th generation Intel Core i7-1195G7 and an Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EUs, which aren’t exactly parts meant for gaming laptops. It’s a bulkier Nintendo Switch - I’m talking Game Gear thick - that’s loaded with PC parts. From a hardware perspective, it’s a well-designed machine for what it is.
