       | It's lighter than the Steam Deck and has a bigger, higher
       | resolution screen. But it can only stream games (or play janky
       | Android games). Build quality is nowhere near as nice as the
       | Deck, but it's comfortable to hold because of its weight.

       | EDIT: Beware that it's partially developed with Tencent, the
       | Chinese gaming giant though. They control the OS so you'd
       | potentially be giving them your Google credentials.

       | You can also install the streaming apps directly on a Google TV
       | stick or a Nvidia Shield (GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud) and connect a
       | controller via Bluetooth to play that way. That basically does
       | what a dedicated Xbox streaming unit would've done anyway, but
       | you're not just limited to the Microsoft option. The Nvidia
       | service is actually a lot better anyway, since it streams from
       | much more powerful RTX 4080s while the MS one uses much weaker
       | actual Xbox consoles.
