works great, still a handheld PC so performance on AAA is never gonna be great but it's definitely a step above Steam Deck, and SteamOS is super smooth

Excellent device. I'm coming to this from a Steam Deck, and it feels like the same system but better. Able to play all kinds of games my Steam Deck was struggling with.

I work in the oilfield with my job i have a lot of down time it can handle most games but it does have software issues where it becomes buggy with some the battery is pretty bad so stay connected to a wall outlet. Controls are fine but the touch pad is unusable in any application its too small to be used correctly other then that if you want one for road trips or whatever its worth it.

I love the whole system and platform it runs on. My only gripe is I don’t like trackpads. I assumed the desktop mode would function more like the asus but it still perform wonderfully.

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.

Best Handheld i had! It doesn't get hot, and run everything perfectly. I just don't like the battery drain while playing AAA but it's normal so it's ok

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!

Great choice if you don't have a PC handheld currently, especially with the Steam Deck removing the $400 model. Will play most modern Aa games great if you have the right expectations.

feels super nice and better than nintendo switch, but I returned it after trying some games and their configs were messy. It seems like a pc gaming: you have to configure the console especially for the game. Thats not what I was looking for.
