TL;DR
- The Abxylute E1 is a new budget handheld that can dual-boot Linux and Android.

This year has been huge for gaming handhelds, with budget devices like the Pocket AIR Mini and MANGMI AIR X bringing great performance at prices well below $100. Now, another company is getting in on the game with a completely different approach.
The Abxylute E1 straddles the line between budget and mid-range handhelds by offering both Linux and Android in a single handheld. It certainly isn’t the first handheld to do this, especially in the budget category, but Abxylute puts a unique twist on the experience with an interesting software feature.
