In the history of modern gaming handhelds, Sony was there in the fairly early days with the PSP and Vita. Both were well regarded, if flawed, living and dying long before the age of the Switch and the Steam Deck. So it would be reasonable to expect the new PlayStation Portal, which marks Sony\u2019s return to handhelds<\/a>, would be a triumph. Yeah. About that.<\/em><\/p>\n Portal is a $200 handheld that can only stream from your own PlayStation 5, either at home or when you\u2019re on the go. There are no local titles, or any bells and whistles for that matter, it\u2019s just a way to play on your own PS5 when the TV isn\u2019t available. Devindra Hardawar has been testing one for a while and the obvious flaws remain obvious<\/a>.<\/p>\n If your internet connection isn\u2019t rock-solid, then the Portal isn\u2019t very useful, especially when you can pick up a mobile handheld dock for a lot less cash. It doesn\u2019t help that Sony\u2019s not the best at perfectly integrating its hardware and software, so things you might expect to be seamless are anything but. Click to read Devindra\u2019s full review<\/a>, but if you\u2019re a Sony diehard, it might be best to hide behind your hands while you do so.<\/p>\n \u2014 Dan Cooper<\/p>\n \u200b\u200bYou can get these reports delivered daily direct to your inbox. <\/em>Subscribe right here!<\/em><\/a>\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n Data breach of Michigan healthcare giant exposes millions of records<\/a><\/p>\n Nintendo\u2019s next Indie World showcase takes place on November 14<\/a><\/p>\n NVIDIA\u2019s next generation of AI supercomputer chips is here<\/a><\/p>\n Cybercriminal gang LockBit leaks alleged Boeing data<\/a><\/p>\n Remedy scraps plans for a free-to-play multiplayer game<\/a><\/p>\n You can now delete your Threads profile without nuking your Instagram account<\/a><\/p>\n Threads users can now opt out of automatically sharing posts to Facebook and Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s common knowledge that Google pays Apple a king\u2019s ransom to be the default search engine on Safari. What is less well known is Google also hands over a 36 percent commission on the revenue generated by those searches<\/a>. The news accidentally let slip during a recent hearing, despite both companies\u2019 insistence the figure remain strictly confidential.

Based on the Zeekr 009, it includes plush reclining chairs, air suspension and external noise cancellation.
