Which is a device that combines the downsides of an UMPC and a handheld game console?

I have.

But you’ve obviously never used one. Maybe you should try to see beyond your preconceived notions.

I have it sucks. What do you want me to say?

It is expensive to buy, it is not especially well built, has a display from 2009, has specs from about 2013, has fans so you cant leave it on a bed turned on, it takes up insane space, honestly more than a laptop because of the stupid shape, needs a case, because it doesn’t fold like a laptop or a nintendo DS, the matte screen is only for the top of the line one which is taking the piss.

The software it runs, for better or for worse is linux… Some games work, some don’t. There. What should I have missed?

Edit: The battery life is poor.

Maybe you should approach it with more realistic expectations? It does what it does really well but I guess you can’t please everyone.

Edit: Oh and I just checked: they go for pretty high prices on eBay. So if it’s so terrible, you can just get rid of it.
