The 5200 was essential the 8 bit Atari computer hardware on the inside. The controllers were different, and no keyboard, but almost exactly the same (IIRC one graphics mode was different in their GPU [not related to the GPU of today]). The 8 bit XEGS of 1987 was the same hardware as computer.

They did have some interesting handhelds in later years, but didn't have enough good ideas to make them catch on.
