  Android tablet with built-in controller?

  Yes

  Does it run (x64) PC games

  There’s Winlator, but you’ve gotta manage your expectations for the performance you expect for PC games.

  (arm) Android games and emulators

  Primarily this

    Also gonna mention Postmaster, which supports lots of ARM-Linux handhelds

    There’s support for it on the RP5 via Rocknix, which is the successor to the device OP mentioned :)

    I’ve not tried Winlator for a year or so, wasn’t really useable but looked like it had a lot of promise. Guessing if you’re successfully emulating Switch games then it’s pretty capable though?

      I haven’t tried Winlator myself.

      Less demanding Switch games work fine. The Retroid Pocket 5 would have better performance and there are videos on youtube with game demonstrations to see performance.
