The Playdate Teardown-A Look Inside This Retro Gaming Handheld

Meet the Playdate. It doesn't 5G. It doesn't have a 120 Hz screen, a custom chip, or any cameras at all. What the Playdate does have is a crank, an ultra-portable design, and a lot of charm. The Playdate exists in its own category: old-school gaming with a modern-day design.
