JXD S7800B

[zabrin]

Hello all,

I am looking for a nice portable gaming console. I already own an Archos Gamepad (first edition) and it is not good. I have been doing some reading and everything is pointing to the JXD S7800B unit. Anyone here have any hands on experience?

I am not really interested in a psp. I am getting older and the screen is to small for my liking. The nVidia shield tablet is to much money for what I want to do with it.

Also, any suggestions are more than welcome!!! Thanks...

That thing is cool looking!

Never heard of it before today.

I'm actually in love with my nVidia Shield Portable. It's only a 5" LCD but has a quad-core processor with 2GB RAM. Feels like an XBox 360 controller and runs everything I want. Runs Android OS as well.

eBay has a few at $155 as of this post. Just a thought from a satisfied customer!

Thanks ClassicGMR for the input...

I have thought about the shield portable. It is more powerful, but I have my heart set on a 7" screen. The eyes are not as good as they once were, sucks getting old!

I have even thought about getting a 7" tablet and an Ipega 9023 controller. It's kinda slick setup as well. Oh the choices we have to make!

I might have made up my mind...well a little closer at least.

A HP 7 Slate Extreme tablet. It has a tegra 4 processor (same as shield portable). Amazon has this on sale for 99. Then pair it with the ipega pg-9023 controller. That might be just what I am looking for...

Then there is also the Ipega pg-7001. With that one I am just a little worried about the screen. It's the same resolution as the Archos Gamepad. It might better quality though. Just can't tell from the youtube videos.

choices...choices...choices....

More recent reviews are a bit concerning
