Gaming Tablet

Gaming on the go. Gaming convenience.

I like my Nintendo Switch for its form factor, and making gaming more "casual", but it doesn't have all the games I want to play.

• Form factor of Nintendo Switch (with controllers by the side)

• Plays Windows/Steam games

• I want to "Pick up and Play"

• Play from the coach/bed

• Quick success or failure

  • Some sort of satisfaction within 15 minutes that makes me feel like I have progress, or am progressing
