I've got a few retro handhelds, but not either of these. They're great for emulation, but I'm not sure how good they'd be for running pc games. I've used portmaster a bit and found it clunky.
I think if you're primary use case is pc games, you'd probably be happiest saving a bit more and picking up a Steamdeck.
If you're more thinking about emulation, I'd probably go with the PR5. I don't think there's much that the RP6 can emulate that the RP5 can't. Also, I prefer dpad up top, but that's maybe just me.

    I tried this 15ish year ago with my parents, and the results were mixed. Windows wasn't as egregious back then, with its spying and pre-installed garbage, but it did have a tendency to accumulate bloat over time. So my parents' computer would get unusably slow after a couple years. I installed Ubuntu on their system and it solved the bloat problem. It lasted for years without slowing down. The issues they ran into were compatibility. They'd buy a new camera and the connection wouldn't work. Or their friend would send them an attachment and there'd be no default viewer for the filetype. I suspect those issues have been mostly solved, but they've moved back to Windows and are running into the same bloat problems. Now they're thinking of moving to apple.

    I think most people leading a team would say "we built this". Personally, if I hire someone to build something for me, I'd say something like "I had this built" intead of saying I built it myself.

    I think there should be a short form for "I had AI do this for me"... "I prompted" maybe?
