(Not that there’s anything wrong withCandy Crush, of course.)

Thats where 20-year-old Josh King comes into play.

Im in love with the result.

Plus, if you dont have an iPhone, it works with MagSafe adapters.

Have you ever heard of backseating?

Most streamers Ive seen explicitly ask their audience to avoid it, usually considering it more annoying than helpful.

Razer Project AVA

Ava, meanwhile, promises to bring a bespoke AI backseater to everyone with a computer.

But really, its the whole advice angle I have an issue with.

There is a place for guidesfar be it from me to gatekeep.

Lenovo Legion Go S

But this sort of real-time interruption seems more likely to spoil my fun than enhance it.

These devices are technically more powerful, but the performance increase isnt worth it to me.

Im excited to see more partnerships follow suit.

Razer Project Arielle

Announced during CES, Nvidia is working withPUBGdeveloper Krafton to bring co-playable characters to the famous battle royale title.

Is the bot going to be more aware of the map than humans?

Acer Nitro Blaze 11

And perhaps most importantly, will it feel satisfying to win if an AI guided you to victory?

Its also surprisingly lightweight at 2.3 pounds.

Thats a pound heavier than the Steam Deck, but compared to a laptop, its still reasonable.

Like the Nintendo Switch and the original Lenovo Legion Go, its got detachable controllers.

Im older, Im busier, and convenience trumps performance for me.

But a younger, more explicitly gamer-y version of me would have been all over this.
