Im back at it again with a quick video. This unit looks slick and nice ......but it has several issues, in which some could have been fixed on the factory side via Waveshare. but I also had to give it a try.

A very expensive unit - costs me $160 for a complete unit (hat, cm3+ module and 32gb firmware card) you can buy the hat for less and add your own cm3 to it.

What I like about it is the screen. I never seen such sharp resolution in a handheld like this one so far.
What I don't like is that it was way overpriced. I took a big bite on this one.

Battery life sucks, only lasts and hour
the unit gets super hot despite of the air grills on top and back
you must have wifi to add games to this unit
this unit doesn't come with any games

If you do decide to get one and use, just have a back up usb drive nearby to get the extra milage on battery life.

I cannot think any other reason why this was so expensive.
the buttons are not that great either, they have lag and don't register well

My advice....................................DON'T BUY THIS HANDHELD.
