They're pretty, but I can't say I find them all that exciting. Maybe
it's because I've taken some of these devices apart and seen how they
fit together in real life, so these scans aren't revealing anything
new to me.

But they are colorful, and for those who haven't had hands-on
experience with the innards of similar devices, it's a nifty
representation of the machine's internal complexities, so - as Werner
P said - the pointer is appreciated.

Yes i see it also more from an aesthetic factor than from being useful
at all. Most devices are built up similarily for decades now, just the
form factor and the components differ mostly, but the basic concepts of
literally all handheld gaming devices are the same since the days of the
Atari Lynx, which was probably the first gaming handheld in existence.
