Is this a reputable brand? Never heard of them before. I'm thinking about replacing my 10" Kindle Fire because it lags a bit and struggles with the Crunchyroll app. I mostly use it for reading manga, and it's great for that, but I'd like to be able to watch shows without any hiccups too. Wonder if the 11" of these would be a good replacement.

The only downside to using Firefox on Android is that Google search results can take forever to load unless you clear site cookies. And Google Image search is awful.

However that's all fixed if you use Duck Duck Go instead.

The GPD Win isn't really the same as these though. It's trying to provide the most gaming performance possible in a tiny package. It's a premium device, rather than a tiny, budget oriented laptop.

I agree that the battery life isn't great, but that's the only issue I have with it.

It won't notify you when it's getting close to dying (Why would you need that on a watch last lasts a day and a half?)

Mine vibrates and gives a notification when the battery hits 15% or something. Might be 10%. I largely get by with just charging it when I get ready in the morning. And the battery life has also gotten way better since release, some of the updates made a big difference. It's gone from maybe getting a full workday to easily getting a day and a half now if I put it in night mode overnight.

Wear OS 4 also introduces the ability to transfer your Pixel Watch data to a new phone without a factory reset as well as a way to back up your data and settings from your Pixel Watch when you’re ready to upgrade to a new one.

Well that would have been really nice to have when I got a new phone last month. It was a huge pain to factory reset it and then set it all up again.

 

Metacritic is sitting at 87 for PC and PS, 79 for Xbox (due to only having 8 reviews on the platform, the two mixed reviews are bringing down the score more than on other platforms).

 

Can't wait for 3pm tomorrow.
