So if I write a program in BASIC, how do I save it to the USB stick?

It’s great for display and nostaljia , but as a real Atari user I would of recommended if they added a standard cartridge port and a workable keyboard so you can use the basic or do some fun programming. It would of been possible and a few extra dollars would of been worth while spending. But I guess they just kept it simple. They obviously didn’t do the Atari 800 case it would of been a complex mould and keyboard layout. Yeah so very simple but cute.

nice review, some interesting insights on the joystick and like your suggestion about how to place the sdcard. Personally not a fan of mini retro consoles it is a collectable but without it's own retro keyboard it is not for me and just cost to much and it just little a bit looks like a cheap plastic housing.

“A little bit of a nostalgia hit” doesn’t seem like much of a reason to spend money on this over using an emulator. Seems like this and most other mini systems are basically collectibles.
