Only USD150 more ... pocket change, compared to how much Dimdows users
normally have to pay to keep their systems working ...

Why not this one

    Video games may be fine, but Windows 11 is another story. It seems
    the OS wasn't meant to be condensed to fit onto a gaming handheld
    because I ran into bugs. One time, after updating the software,
    the in-game controls were disabled. I couldn't move my characters,
    only the cursor. Fortunately, a quick reboot solved the problem.
    Further optimization with Windows will hopefully improve the
    experience.

Hope springs eternal, as they say ...
