    Has some issues but that’s understandable being that its the first generation. R2 and L2 buttons could be a bit more responsive and have a better shape if that makes sense. Battery life is ok but could be better. But other than that its a good purchase.

    Honestly i wasnt expecting to be so impressed with the capabikities this little hand held has! The screen quality and frame rates im seeing are great on games like baulders gate 3 and cyberpunk 2077.

    Just don't expect laptop level performance.

    Just don't expect laptop level performance. But can run AAA titles on lower settings, usually sub 60 fps. You will only get top performance plugged in or on a high watt battery pack. State of the for handhelds.

    Have used this mainly for older games, but have had no performance issues. Some minor windows issues, but thats mainly due to it being a handheld, and Windows not really designed for it.

    A handheld gaming pc in the palm of your hands! The fact that I can play AAA titles like The last of us and Death Stranding is on this device is amazing. A few minor adjustments with the bloatware that comes with Windows 11 and it was good to go.

    Excellent product. Like all Windows products, you have to be patient and work around some quirks. Overall the performance is great for the form factor.

    But still is amazing. The screen is soooo nice with variable refresh rate. Even though it killed my SD card, i still love it. It isnt for everyone, still needs some tinkering.

    Bought this item for my father, and he loves it. It was his Christmas/Birthday gift as a replacement for his Desktop and he truly is getting the best of handheld gaming and computer use at the touch of his finger tips. The design of this handheld is truly a natural fit your hand. Its is a comfortable length and size that you aren't needing to stretch your fingers and hands to reach the controls. Its a comfortable fit in a large mans hands and in mine as a small handed woman. There a few issues but overtime with software updates it will run with ease.

    This has been one of the best purchases I've made in years. Not a single regret. Extremely powerful when docked. Battery can be extended through software tweaks which are super easy with the armory crate app.

    I recently bought both the Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally. I've very impressed by how well the ASUS runs, I'm able to play triple A games such as Gears of War and Halo without any problems. The possibilities are endless for emulation as well.
