I would recommend this to a friendA full gaming pc that fits in your hands
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE this thing, I've been playing so many more video games than I used to because it's so much more convenient. Def recommend getting the Skull & Co grip case for it though, my hands were cramping up with just the base unit, the skull & co grip case makes it MUCH more comfortable.

I would recommend this to a friendBare minimum for some AAA games
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent for a handheld I guess. If you like getting by with bare minimum playability. Played nfs unbound mainly and struggled to keep 30-40fps which was barely playable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Portable
Better than steam deck
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really nice handheld device , enjoy playing on it a lot
I would recommend this to a friend Surprisingly good!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've spent nearly a year with this device and it's been nothing more than reliable to me. No problems I couldn't solve on my own and it's been just a wonderful companion device to my laptop.
I would recommend this to a friendGood for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Received the device, wasn't expecting perfect condition like it was listed, and expectations were met, had minor damages, obviously pry marks from previous owner popping it open with a knife or something, but it runs fine, and it does what I want it to.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life, Overheating
Two thumbs down
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first glance, this seems like a very good choice for portable gaming device with the bonus of having windows 11, which is been known for its defects, but still in all the versatility of a computer in your hand, along with gaming capability. After spending some time, waiting for the thing to set up I soon found out that it has an absolute horrible battery life and gets overheated relatively quick. I seriously think there are better options out there. I would rather get a backbone for my iPhone and go to that route.

Posted .Dear Zmjdjp333,
We do understand your concern about thermal issues and battery life.
The battery will discharge faster that normal while gaming or running application that requires more system resources. In order to improve or prolong the battery charged time, please try to do a battery calibration manually. To start with, please drain it completely then charge it fully without using the system. Once fully-charged, please use the laptop, without the AC adapter connected, and drain let the battery drain completely again. Please repeat the charging process thereafter. Also, please verify if the unit is running with the most current system update and third-party battery draining applications are not running in the background if not in used.
It is normal that excessive heat is generated while under heavy load especially during gaming, WINDOWS Update and antivirus scan. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full-throttle. Please ensure the air ventilations are free from obstructions in order to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. While gaming, please ensure no resource hungry applications are running in the background, this will definitely spike the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

Fits my needs perfectly
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love handheld gaming, the switch just didnt do if for me game and performance wise. Im not a graphic snob so i dont mind running the games on lower mode for the best performance. I’ve had it for a few weeks now and I’m enjoying it very much. I got it at a great price too with an open box deal.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat system but needs setup...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great system but requires a LOT of updates to start with. Fingerprint scanner runs well without any cases but its hard to use with a case. Touch screen is good... buttons respond well. Would definitely recommend. Faster processor would be nice but not 100 dollars more nice.
