Yeah sure. Sw Developer here, I have a PC with Arch as a living room pc. I ain´t changing my freedom for anything.

Hardware: so it is a underpowered 'console' - go figure. LOL!! What else is new?

However I find it inexcusable that a USB4/TB/Oculink port for upgrade ability is missing. :(

Software: so it is missing a bunch of 'bloatware' and does not include streaming services OR others store fronts by default.

I really get a kick out of what people whine about these days... LOL!

This isn't a console-level device.  This appears to be a foothold in a market so other device makers (Lenovo?) can make the real stuff.  Kinda like Steam Deck.

My experience with Steam Deck was to try a few games, notice how it wasn't anywhere close to being a true console, and put it down, never to play again.  I outgrew PCs.  NO interest in futzing around with Windows installations anymore.  And I used WIndows for 3 decades and was a Sysadmin.  DONE.

In 2025, you can't make a device like this and not include some basic functionality the other consoles have.
