That’s British speak for “a dweeb.” People will stare. Teenagers will point. Baristas will ask if you need medical assistance. But sitting in Costa Coffee with a 120-inch OLED screen floating over my gigantic black americano, playing Nvidia GeForce Now while looking like a low-budget cyberpunk extra… I quickly realized the joke was entirely on them. It got even better when I sat in the pub with no TV, but still managed to get the big screen experience watching England play in the World Cup !

The OS is built on Android 13, so you get all the Google apps you need to get stuff done, alongside Viture’s built-in entertainment apps and the Play Store to snag things like Netflix. Let’s start with play, because this one is pretty obvious, right? It’s got Bluetooth, so you can connect a controller, fire up cloud gaming services like GeForce Now and play to your heart’s content on a giant screen. Also, shout-out to Viture’s PSPlay and XBXPlay apps too, which can stream your console to your glasses via remote play — these work perfect for when your wife wants to watch Bake Off, but you don’t want to stop your season on FC 26.
