THIS is the exact reason I bought this thing. Slow days at work are boring AF without it.
After five different handheld PC’s, I picked up a Switch 2. I am blown away.
ACER Predator PROJECT DUALPLAY MINI
I got a raise out of nowhere so I bought an early Christmas gift to myself 🙌
For people questioning project DualPlay mini
It’s crazy how much I prefer AAA games on my switch 2 over my Rog ally x. No fan noise. Elden ring looks gorgeous. No Windows. No heat. No bulk. Hotel? Trivago
I found a Brand new and sealed PSP go!
I always have it in my purse when I need it :)
So proud of this 🙏🏻
Scored all this for 600$ on the ole marketplace. Guy was a truck driver.
