    One of the best purchases I’ve made. The power of a gaming desktop, in a portable handheld. I can easily take on trips and put down if the toddler needs me. Plug it into a dock and you’ve got a legit gaming PC.

    It’s a pretty good device. Not all pc games will play but mostly all play wall like 90% of pc games run maybe more. As soon as you buy it I recommend a 25x25x10 heat sink just YouTube it and you’ll find it. I really don’t know much about pc’s but I can tell you it’s not hard use this device even with some pc knowledge.

    I love this, as someone who doesn't have space to get a huge gaming PC yet, I enjoy the easiness of just setting everything up anywhere I am. Even if I'm in my living room or on the go. The fans never get too loud, I could hear it but its isn't annoying. Updating the rog is also very easy as well.

    I went from a steam deck to this and I love it. It can play almost any game that I throw at it with reasonable expectations and frame rates. As long as you acknowledge what this system is and do not go in expecting it to change the world you will be more than satisfied. It is basically a small, lower end, portable gaming PC.

    Window is the way to go for handheld IMO. This is a major leap for gamers and i would reccomend to any on the go gamer. Battery life could be better but buy the upgraded black one for that.

    If you know what you are getting into when you buy this, you will probably love it. If you are expecting a polished handheld console you have probably already returned it. I love this thing..

    Amazing in almost every way. Only complaints are with my medium sized hands I sometimes touch the screen by accident when using the right joystick; and I did run into the widespread sd card reader failure although ASUS should repair at no charge.

    I got this cause I am a truck driver and can't always been at the computer. So far it is awesome, my PC has been retired for about two weeks. It is running windows 11 so it takes a bit to set up out of the box. It is ok not plugged in, runs my games no problems. I still leave it plugged in almost treat it like a laptop.

    Runs Starfield like a champ after a driver update. 2 hour or so battery life when running at full performance. Functions exactly as it should. I have not used the SD card reader, so I’m not personally aware of any issues with my unit.

    Coming from console gaming, this required a little setup and getting used to Windows, but it exceeded my expectations on user experience and performance. Steam, xbox gamepass all work great.

    Loving it so far, runs everything I throw at it, only issue is the software, sometimes things don’t work so I have to restart it. Nice, portable, if you create a custom profile, you can max it out and the two fans make it run at 60 degrees, nice and cool.

    I was skeptical about after owning a steam deck and being dissapointed. But this is a whole other ballpark. I was able to play any of my games at reasonable settings and get respectable fps. I can completely recommend this without hesitation.

    Overall great product, only a few hiccups here and there when first getting it set up for the first time, but after playing around and playing with settings, games run beautifully and very few issues (other than Bethesda magic) but system stability is great and I've been having a great experience with the device

    Amazing device and saved another $100 or so by getting an open box version. The console was in excellent condition, just as advertised. Easy purchase and pick up options. Highly recommend for anyone looking to play AAA PC games on the couch or in bed without hogging the tv.
