    This device so far has run smoothly and quickly. The display is nice, and i am quite surprised by how light it is for its size. I can't wait to keep on enjoying it

    Excellent Handheld. Totally worth the money. I got it on sale and it was the cheapest Z1E handheld in the market. Has good screen, performance and hall effect sensors Battery life is poor though

    Word of advice, get an extra adapter if you're running windows 11 (I installed windows on mine because I have a steamdeck already). Now if you're playing on low settings you're good but performance mode you'll wanna be plugged in!

    Worked perfectly Thanks Best Buy for such a great deal. No better place and such fast shipping for electronics. Never shy away from open box deals. Even got a deal for a 2tb WD NVME to increase the storage

    I returned the Go 2 and kept the Go S. Near identical performance. Half the price when on sale and WAY more comfortable to hold. Tried the Ally X , Go 2 and Go S Z1E is the keeper.

    This handheld is worth it if you are wanting a handheld that’s comfy in the hands, doesn’t get too loud from fan noise, and decent battery life. Able to get between 2.5-5 hrs depending on games and if i took the time to tweak it or just OoB settings. SteamOS is the way to go. Pictures include Dbrand Killswitch case and a JSAUX matte screen protector. Def recommend a matte protector. Recommend some stick grips. Stock ones are rather weak in that regard
