Both lists are derived mechanically: a metric makes the list when this model finishes in the top or bottom four of the 6 gaming handhelds we track.
Who shouldn't get it: Skip it if you compare on battery numbers — the manufacturer publishes no watt-hour figure for this model, so real-world runtime is an unknown next to rated rivals.
