This was one of those products that, when it was announced, I thought to myself “meh, I have no need for this.” But through the urging of friends, I pre ordered it back in July of 21, because hey, it was only 5 bucks to deposit and I could cancel.

Then as they started coming out, and I heard about everything they could do, I thought “well damn that’s pretty cool.” And then my own hype grew until I managed to get it, I believe August of last year. By far the most fun I’ve had with a device in quite some time.

Yep.

It's also interesting to think of it as a "device" because it blurs the line between PC and handheld so well.

Half the time I'm thinking of it as a device. The other half of the time I'm thinking of it like a laptop or a PC.
