So basically it is a 6.2" phablet minus the phone with a low quality screen, an outdated ARM CPU clocked insanely low, and outdated GPU clocked much lower than that, a docking station, and some slide-on controller things. Based on the videos I've seen so far as well as the hardware specs, I would be very impressed if Skyim (a game from the PS3) was actually able to run while looking anything like the original. The Zelda demo only looked slightly better than something from the N64...and that's basically their in-house tech demo!
Looks like a good idea but became poorly executed once they set a target cost of $300. If you take into account the cost of the controllers and the dock the difficulty is getting a high spec in a tablet that costs less than $200. IMO it would have better to up the price, max the specs and fully capture a smaller market than fail to partially capture a big one.

not everything should be about graphics. as long as they have good games hdmi and allow you to use a pro controller they should be fine..after all i think it was them forcing you to use a tablet last gen that killed the wii u.example i own a wii u but i only have mario wii u and i use the pro controller
