Rules:
I've been tinkering with docked 1080p and it really struggles with AAA gaming. best case scenario all-low settings Cyberpunk or Elden ring is playable but doesn't look pretty.
as another commenter mentioned, forte is definitely older games and emulation. I never played Skyrim when it came out but plays just about flawlessly. Emulation is absolutely incredible; PS3, PS2 and Gamecube is a great experience docked or otherwise.
Great targeted hardware as a console should be. Older games or using it as a Linux PC make it worth it.
