The Logitech G Cloud is designed for cloud gaming… and apparently it shows. While you can theoretically install any Android game, it doesn’t have the horsepower to handle downloaded games as well as it does streaming ones. https://t.co/lq7eBuuCX8

Cool e-ink tablet, but I will never buy another Lenovo tablet. Last one I bought was useless after 18 months, no more updates from Lenovo and it won’t go to Android 11. My fault for not researching it better, but also Lenovo’s fault for planned obsolescence, such a waste.
Over on YouTube ETA prime has a video of the Logitech g cloud and playing games, streaming. If of interest to any.
