After all my complaints, I caved in and bought one. As an official SNK product it does deserve support. My initial thoughts, the joystick is ok, the button layout is awful, I was really impressed by the screen, vibrant and pixel sharp. Metal Slug looked lovely on it. It really needs the external pad.
It’s a toy for sure, will interesting to see what modders do with it, could make a nice desk ornament stroke lamp with attract modes running.

Is the joystick analogue? Or does it feel digital but without the clicky sound?
Found this Forbes review. The guy played through Metal Slug with no trouble:

They put a screen and controls on it with the intent that people would use those to play the games but, really, anyone playing them seriously would need the pad.
One thing making me giggle at the price is that, unlike in the original Neo Geo days where the console and games understandably demanded a high price due to the console's beefy processor, cartridge on-board RAM costs, etc, whatever's running the Mini emulator isn't even breaking a sweat, and the required storage is miniscule.
It does have a lot of games, though.

It's such a shame, because I'd definitely have bought an AES Mini if it were made properly with a broad range of the best games. A mini console appeals to me much more.

Ooh, they should make the dock look like the old console!
If the tabletop were much bigger with a better quality build, at least Neo Geo fans could be happy with it.
