Not only is it much more in-depth, but the way you categorize each type of potential buyer here is such a great way to compare/contrast all these competing devices. Well done. Subbed.

I know I'm one comment in a sea of comments, and I rarely (if ever) comment on KZitem videos, but this was one of the most brilliant and informative electronic device reviews I've ever seen. I don't know how many barriers are in front of you for a continuing format like this (time to prep, research, algorithm angst, etc), but I would *love* to this type of content going forward. Especially with devices like this that attempt to be a catch-all, giving further niche alternatives depending on use-case is so obviously helpful, I cannot believe I've never seen another KZitemr for consumer electronics *ever* do this (at least nowhere near this detail and thought). So well done, earned a subscriber from me. Really impressed.

It still blows my mind whenever I realize that something the size of the 280V can play PS1. "Sadly" I grew up with the Saturn so I hope decent emulation of that system happens sometime soon (damn I miss Sega consoles). From this video I think the 350M or P might be the one for me then (because of the price and because BAD Saturn emulation won't do it justice). Very informative; thank you for your work. Edit: also nice editing and gj naming everything in the video (retro achievements... That's hilarious to me for some reason. Neat idea; never heard about the site). Earned my sub. Edit 2: OK streaming from the PC with that quality??? Nah the MP or RGB10 max is where it's at then that's beyond awesome.

After finding the channel about two weeks ago, I took the plunge and ordered my first handheld, an RG351P. This video made me a little nervous at first since I thought maybe I got the "wrong one", but pocket portability is a big draw for me, and the P has the same chipset as the MP, so the section of the video with Frances definitely helped me feel better about my decision. My two biggest concerns were actually "is this good on the go" and "can this handle Ape Escape", a huge game for me growing up, and the first PS1 game to require the dual analog sticks (which is why I didn't want something like the 351V). Lovely editing and detail, thanks for another great video.
