I would have liked hearing about how it works in use - I get that you like it because it's different, but I don't know how that fact that it flips makes it different in use.

Hi there! Sorry, I'm the author of the article (just noticed this was cross-posted), so I can address this!
I guess the fact it rotates out isn't going to be earth shattering, if you're looking for that being the one reason it is worth owning (a rotating mechanism for the display), you wouldn't get it. But to me being able to use it for things like listening to music (on-device, offline music, or streaming), watching an older anime episode, an audiobook, or scrolling through Mastodon while it is in the cube format, then being able to flip it open to play some GBA just makes it unique.
I have it sitting on my desk or shelf as I work, propped up facing me to stream music. Then I can pick it right up after I'm done and go back to FFVII on there.
I just like how this handheld 'feels'. Smooth rounded corners and edges, and with a super satisfying weight to it. And I don't think that 'feel' ever gets enough coverage for retro handhelds.
Sorry, maybe I'm struggling to convey how nice it is to use with words here!
Okay, I think I get it - thanks.
