Honestly, I wouldn't get anything from Anbernic other than the budget stuff anymore. I have a 351P which is a nice device for playing anything older than the PS2 generation, but the Steam Deck is just too cost efficient (and ships from Europe) to even consider any of the more expensive Anbernics.
I'm really only interested in budget devices. I just can't justify splurging several hundred euros on what is at the end of the day a frivolous gadget when I could put that money towards a new phone or something.
I don't really need a Steam Deck or equivalent either as I already have a desktop PC.
I've just been waiting for a budget device with the right balance of quality and performance to come along
I've been following these things on and off and they've really stagnated for years. Really seems to me like Anbernic keeps making 20 new devices with different form factors and random combinations of numbers and letters for names, but none of them can emulate anything more powerful than frameskipped PSP.
There is the RG Cube they just put out that seems to be fairly competent at PS2 and GameCube but that again costs a hundred bucks more than these budget devices
