Great Steamdeck competitor
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great performance and excellent feel. There are some issues with sd cards overheating. A new bios update was just released, but not before it cooked my 512gb card

ROG Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chose this over steam deck. Battery could be better, but it’s an amazing piece of hardware tbh. After getting emulation, ps cloud gaming, remote play, steam and Xbox gaming all setup, this is an absolute beast.

Its a fun experience!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No device is perfect. If you have the patience to deal with the windows OS you will be able to get more out of the device. I run it at 18W and a different fan curve when handheld. Performance is pretty stable.

Best hand held console for a while
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was a big fan of PSP growing up. Sad they stopped making it. This by far highly recommended for people on the go. Very powerful. It runs at windows 11. You can pretty much play anything on steam, blizzard and fornite!

Amazing handheld
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it while prepping to be admitted to hospital as something to keep my mind occupied. Amazing device that lets me play my games on Steam, GOG, EA Play, etc.

Just buy the z1 extreme
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Minus the sd card issue this is the best gaming handheld I’ve purchased. Asus always makes great products and I’ve been a loyal customer for as long as I can remember.

Superior
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All in one, do everything handheld device. Could easily be the best gaming handheld built ever. Battery needs improvement but this applies to any powerful gaming device out there

Ally ROG
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressed by this small handheld gaming pc.

Portable gaming beast!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to use in place of my gaming laptop, since I would now have my work laptop as well. Great replacement, loads my games up effortlessly. I will be expanding the internal memory, definitely a great purchase.

Best Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The handheld device in the market is the best option available, but it does require software updates to improve its performance.

Almost perfect
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very, very impressed with the performance and overall user experience So close to 5 stars, just needs more software tweaks to enhance docking & sleep functions.

Crazy good but needs better battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plays everything with decent quality. Emulation is good and plays steam stuff great. Plays SF6 perfectly and the D pad is good but too close ro the analogue stick.
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Sd card reader, Storage capacity
SD card issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Would be much happier if the sd card slot did not stop working towards the end of my return period. I was lucky in the sense that it didnt destroy my sd card. If they come out with a new hardware revision that does not have these issues, id certainly be purchasing another though. 512gb is simply not enough storage for me, and being able to swap sd cards on the fly is certainly important to me.

Great device, amazing handheld power.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device, for me, is overall better than a steam deck in every way. Both are great devices. But, if you want to make sure you can play all your games, plus have the power to play them, this is the device you’ll want.
