@-wc- the thing is, this is a 7840/8840u processor. It's main competition isn't a DS or 3DS, that's missing the point. This is a Windows PC, and has to compete with other laptops and handhelds with this processor. This is the only handheld dual screen PC out there, so that also puts it in a unique spot. This also features an Oculink port, which isn't something mentioned here in the review, which effectively allows you to use this in a docked scenario as a powerful desktop PC when paired with a dedicated graphics card.
All this to say, if you're buying this purely for emulation, there are more cost effective ways of doing this. But as a handheld Windows PC, and one of the only ones that are actually "portable" by way of being a clamshell, it's not an outrageous price at all.

@Spider-Kev for 99.9999999999 of users, nothing is different. Faster NPU for AI applications that aren't even widely available. That's it.
