    I am loving the ROG so far. I had problems with the first one and i returned it to BB and they gave me a new one. I was out of home town and during my travels it kept me entertained.

    Pretty awesome console. Got this after my steam deck. Ended up selling the steam deck since this console is far more superior. Led thumb sticks. Can’t beat that. Could use more storage but I bought a 1tb micro sd card and that give me the storage I need. Only concern I’ve had with it is the main program that helps manage all your games and apps can cause the screen to completely go black and unresponsive while running games. Easy fix was just resetting my console. Haven’t had the problem since.

    Way better than the steam deck, the battery life is not the best but found a battery bank that's good for it

    Very powerful and can run all my games from various digital storefronts including Xbox Game Pass. Happy with my purchase. I will probably get an extra batter pack for gaming on the go.

    Bought as a gift for my wife and she can’t get enough of it. Bought a dock and works just like a pc. Obviously batter life is a little lacking.

    the hands-on pc delivers more than it promises. playing on it is very enjoyable, and doing office work on it is quite satisfying. A version with 2tb of storage would be nice.

    Really nice product from Asus, better than a steam deck in terms of raw power. I just wish the battery wasn’t such an issue.

    This little thing is amazing. I’ve played spiderman remastered every day since buying. It runs pretty much anything you throw at it, with the right settings.

    Runs BG3 and RDR2 well. Battery isnt as much a problem for me as I am always near a plug. Windows works great on it and most games run with few issues.

    Well it’s as good as the steam deck I don’t know which one I like better yet. Each has its own issue but overall very cool.
