Multiple advantages: It was quite enjoyable for me. It's a cool hybrid console, and you can take it with you on travels because it functions even without an Internet connection—something that's essential for airplane travel. You can play the same games on both the stationary and portable versions of the console. For example, you can play on the TV, then carry the console with you to the bedroom and continue playing without having to transfer your saves or anything else. You do not need to purchase additional joysticks to play with others; however, I did purchase a different controller so that I could do so. Got cons: The fan creates a slight humming sound when "heavy" games are first started, and the screen frame is relatively large; however, a new version with an OLED display has already been made available. A lot of people have written about how there isn't a browser, but I don't really see why that's important.
