I've been dreaming about portable PS2 for over 6 years.
Here's the result of my research and reading : The Microsoft Surface Go 2

Been using it for almost a month. Overall it's playable. However, slowdowns do occur frequently.
Odin Sphere & Devil May Cry 1, 3 runs just fine. I had to set the screen resolution to 640x480 or lower. 800x600 will always slow down the game.
The small resolution is quite acceptable since I can double-touch the PCSX2 to enable full-screen mode.
Though, slow down will always occur after an hour long of play. This occurs too while playing other emulators such as MelonDS.

During the slowdown I notice an intense heat from the machine. So,my guess is the CPU reduces its clock during the heat maybe ?
Ace Combat Zero : Belkan War : this game however, suffers from massive slow down during the mission and cannot be played at all. (In other words : it's totally playable but slow a_ f_ ) I saw this game was listed as a game that pushes PS2's CPU to its limit before I bought. Guess that's the reason.
Last thing for this topic : PS2 emulation seems to drain out battery so fast (lol). I can play around 2 hours for each session and need to recharge. When Windows 10 went into battery saver mode, everything will always become very slow.
I wish for a more powerful machine with less heat in the future. Or if the PCSX2 team could find a way of optimization, that would be good and appreciated (I know it's very hard though...)
