It is getting absurd at this poin. Just get a laptop and call it a day

    I don’t think 11 inch is absurdely big. That’s the screen size of the current iPad air.

      The iPad probably weights less than half what this thing does, and probably takes up a lot less space.

      Also it’s probably faster and almost certainly gets better battery life.

        You’re probably right on the battery, as this thing has a tiny (compared to its screen and res) battery of 55wah

          Such an Acer move to put a tiny battery in such a big (relatively) power hungry device. That’s what I hate the most about cheap PC manufacturers.

          My next question is is this going to be built like an Acer as well?

      True, but iPads don’t have inbuilt controllers, and packing one would inherently make it less portable than a deck. I think if you’re making a portable gaming system, your maximum screen size is sharply constrained by the form factor of the controller around it.

        This device is basically a windows tablet with detatchable controllers. This will probably me more portable than if the controllers were always connected.
