The corridor lights have failed. Something is moving beyond the airlock. Unfortunately, the clearest thing on your screen is your own reflection. Watching science fiction away from the living room asks a different question of technology: not simply “How powerful is it?” but “Can this small screen keep me inside the story?” Gaming adds another complication. You might want a demanding game running directly on the device, a console session streamed from home, or access to a cloud-gaming service. Those are different jobs, and they do not necessarily justify the same purchase.
