    An ok handheld with problems

    ASUS has poor customer support, and your microsd card slot is going to fail at some point. If you can handle windows using a touch screen and controller it's ok, but armory crate isn't it. ASUS sells the xg mobile which assumes someone thought about this as a docked console-ish experience but there is no built in way to bind their ROG controller to the armory crate or quick settings interface. My main complaint is that you have to maintain windows with this. It's both it's strongest and weakest point as compared to the steam deck. Everyone gets the same software on the deck and it updates however often it updates and is closer to a console in that regard, but if you are serious about playing ALL games, you need windows. I guess all in all I would not recommend any handheld PC because they all suffer from short battery life, compatiblity, or windows annoyances.
