Totally worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This handheld can compete with gaming PCs. I am able to run COD and other big games with no issue. Definetely worth the extra money over a steam deck. I would definetely go ahead and get the extra 2tb SSD.

Good Concept… Needed some more work
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a good concept, I liked it till the left joystick wasn’t working properly. Then comes the updates like Microsoft updates and driver updates were so many in the time I had it. Plus I feel like it had to be perfected a bit more. And then comes the external GPU that is proprietary which is such an apple move, they could have just given an egpu option without the astronomical price. The battery life is not that great. As I said it’s a great concept but needs to be perfected. Might be better on the 2nd or 3rd gen.

Game changer
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My last handheld console was the PSP and I thought maybe handhelds are a thing of the past, until I got this bad boy. I did not realise what I was missing out on. I travel a lot, and let me tell you this has been a game changer for me.

A lot of potential.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Second system needs a lot of updates on everything. I think once it properly optimizes will be the best handheld. But I do like it so far oh and that battery life is horrible.

Was a disaster at launch. But all is fine now.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, during launch was just an absurd performance issues with the bios/firmware mainly due to version 319 that limited the FPS to 30 from 120. I had several times factory reset this 4-5 times taking over near 2 hours. This is because of how the performance was affected with the external display and using my own usbc dock, with either HDMI or DisplayPort. The offices Rod hdmi adapter and charger was sold out for a good several weeks. I had tried non asus brands and one asus brands and it has limited to 30fps. It was a headache. And there so much details and other occurrences that happened buuuut… there’s a new firmware update 322… and a new AMD software update, and armoury crate update … everything runs like a dream with the exception of prolly a bit Louder fan noise on turbo mode. But all is good.

Slow start but amazing after
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device works great and has amazing power and performance. Yes it definitely will take time to set up and learn to use but once you learn how and dowload any game its a breeze and you will be looking for more and more things to buy

Pretty good!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, so good. If you're looking for console ease of use you should keep looking but if you have a steam backlog you want to get through this is a good machine. Handles Red Dead 2 shockingly well.
