Honestly one of the best things I have ever bought. Only issue I have is the battery life sucks for AAA gaming. Indie titles or older games gives you hours more play time.

It’s more powerful than a steam deck and easier to work with than a windows handheld! Best of both works. I love the easy gaming on the go experience.

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.

This has been a fantastic investment for travelling and visiting places whilst wanting to enjoy some relaxing games in the evenings. Being that the system is running on Steam-OS, it is very powerful despite the size and can run many games at 60FPS on moderate settings.

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

If you have a steam deck this feels like the SD 2. Reviews say it’s 15-20% better performance but feels like more.

If you’ve used the steam deck or are considering the steam deck and this is in your budget definitely get it. It feels amazing in hand and can run those games the steam deck couldn’t quite handle.
