    Overall Amazing Product, it's literally an upgraded steam deck aslong as you get the steamos version. Would highly recommend for gamers who want to upgrade to what genuinely feels like the next iteration of Valves Steam Deck Portable Console.

    Running Steam OS gives the Z1E new life. Everything feels much faster than it does on Windows. Much better device than the original Legion Go.

    Got it during the Black Friday sale, it was an amazing value. It runs games beautifully, the steam os makes it a seamless experience, and it’s very comfortable to hold for hours. So much easier than playing games on my laptop and runs games just as well, My only complaint is the trackpad is tiny and difficult to use if you want to go into desktop mode but there’s no need for me to use it 99% of the time anyways. It’s expensive but if it goes on sale or you can get an open box deal it’s worth it

    With STEAMos and the Z1 extreme chip, this handheld is pretty fast at playing games. I feel like for the money spent, it was worth it. I can play metro exodus, south of midnight, and several other newer games and they look great on the screen here, not to nenthon it feels great in hand. It may not be for everyone, but being a busy dad of a two year old, its for me. A good way to still get to enjoy what i love!
