Who It Is For

The Logitech G CLOUD is ideal for gamers who primarily use cloud gaming services and want a dedicated device with a large screen and comfortable ergonomics. It can also handle light emulation up to N64, Dreamcast, PSP, and some GameCube/Wii and PS2 titles, but it's not designed for demanding native Android games or high-end emulation.

Buying Notes

Priced around $200-$300 (launched at $300), the G CLOUD offers a premium build with plastic shell and white color. It lacks video output and has a 60Hz display, which may be limiting for some. Consider it if you value battery life and streaming performance over raw power.
