10 Reasons NOT to Buy the AYN Thor (I Regret Nothing)

Everyone is telling you to buy the AYN Thor. So here are 10 reasons NOT to. At least, that's how it started. I picked up the AYN Thor expecting to talk you out of it. Switch games, 3DS Pokémon in 4K, a dual-screen clamshell that streams my PS5 with almost zero latency. The more I used it, the harder it got to find a real reason to say no. So I'll give you the one con that actually matters. Then you decide.
