It does a lot for what it is

The future of gaming is in the cloud, right?

The G Cloud is an Android 11 tablet with a special user interface for gamers.

Gorgeous, Functional Gaming Hardware

The hardware itself is luscious.

It’s a bit bigger than the Switch but feels just as rigid and premium as Nintendo’s offering.

Maybe even a bit more since its control handholds are built in.

It just feels great to hold and use.

Accessing your PlayStation 5 is going to be a bit of a struggle, though there are workarounds.

Diablo Immortal played all right but still had some laggy glitches.

It’s just the fact that this gaming handheld relies on Wi-Fi to stream games to your handheld.

The best playability, I found, was from Xbox Cloud gaming.

Even then, a laggy moment often meant the difference between shooting or being shot.

The PlayStation Portal, which only lets you play remotely on your PS5, is $199.

Steam Deck competitor ROG Ally will run you $429.

Ultimately, it’s down to your Wi-Fi and your tolerance for new tech.
