    I like it a lot for what it is, namely a very light weight portable for gaming and web surfing. I take mine on work trips, which is a godsend for long flights. Each generation of these units improves upon the last and I am very much looking forward to the 3rd generation of this hardware in 2020(current best guess). The controls and button layout are clearly superior to the previous generation. I'm really hoping they find a way to add the L3/R3 clicks into the analogs next generation, and are then able to eliminate the corresponding shoulder buttons.  They are a perfectly workable solution, but the habits developed on my Xbox and PS controllers does not go away! If the Win 1 was a proof of concept, then the win 2 is its market ready offspring.

     

    That said, its still just enough behind the power curve that its not quite what it bills itself to be. Its amazing for indie gaming though! Its battery life is really good compared to the first unit and very reasonable for what it does, and as it compares to other modern portables of a similar form factor.  The build quality of my unit is great, though I've heard results were less good with the first batch(poor backers). Overall, its a fun little piece of kit that sets the stage for a bright future in generations 3 and 4! It seems the "steamboy" has arrived after all. 

    Nice! Yeah, I plan to use it mostly for emulating, streaming and indie/oldschool gaming. I'm gonna get GTA 5 just because I still need to finish it but I've seen the youtube videos on it and I know how badly it runs compared to a current gen PC.

    It's better than ever in the gaming section. Stop visiting this place then. You've said this place is boring on numerous occasions. Leave lol.

    Nah, I'll probably continue to periodically check on it to see if things have changed any and I'll also continue idly commenting on whatever strikes me, thanks.

    I'm glad the primary focus of D1P is now on the gaming community side of things, it very much ended up with a clique of posters that would dominate areas of the board - which in itself became boring.

    Yeah, things were stupid and dramatic before the worst people on the board were banned but some time before that, this place was really fun I think. I'm not implying the board should go back to being abusive and shitty. I'm not even implying anything should be done. I think the changes are probably just natural consequences of how the internet has changed. I spend almost all my online time on Twitter now for instance.

    Exercise

    meditation

     

    If all else fails, look into an antidepressant called mirtazapine. It has helped me a lot with my insomnia related to anxiety. 

    Yeah, I mentioned meditation earlier. I'm still a beginner but I find just the attempt to meditate and stop being lost in thought extremely conducive to sleep.
