Beast of a handheld
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best handheld I have ever used. A little more tweaking can be necessary than the steam deck, but so many more platform options.

So much fun!

Crackle is by Sony, but Dolby has plenty
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this as a combination of a portable work station and gaming system. The idea of a full Windows installation alongside cutting edge portable gaming features made it too good to pass up. It was cheaper than a laptop and I don't actually need much more than the RAM and OS for my workstation aspects. Unfortunately, the gaming half fell short. After performing a lot of setup and installing my first game, I was greeted by what sounded like blown speakers. WHOA THERE! Don't click reply yet. I turned the performance up to 15W and there was some improvement until I got into the action. DROP THE MOUSE! I also disabled spacial audio. I was finally able to play a game with audio... until I reached an area with higher pitched music. I thought I was just imaging it, but the crackle returned. I read where someone said that if you notice more crackle at 16Hz, it may be a speaker issue. As luck would have it, that is exactly the setting for the test sound in Windows. It was crystal clear. It's unlikely the speakers are actually blown out of the box, but I can't help wondering if the crackle is eventually going to damage them and how much I really want a gaming device where gaming is the issue.

The issue here is Best Buy, and that's okay.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer repair technician here. The machine is great, love Asus ROG. The condition was not, as it was listed at open box, and has "inspected by best buy" on the box, but was a faulty unit, with stick drift on the right joystick, and non-functioning speakers. Open box lists full functionality, and minor scuffs or scratches, not a defective system with no cables in the packaging, but that's what I sort of expected from Best Buy (no hate, it happens), so I'm okay with it. Not everything can be checked, and I don't expect someone to be that thorough with a unit they only really need to spend a few minutes with. It makes sense, because it's quantity over quality for best buy, and there no other place to get one of these in person around me. Thankfully it's nothing that I can't fix, and I already had a 65w type c charger for my rog phone, but it worries me to see what would happen if a non computer repair technician were to buy this, expecting what was listed like I was, and not as equiped for the situation. If they offer warranty, I likely wouldn't accept it given the common turnaround time, but again, it happens.

Amazing but a small issue
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything about this is fast and easy to use, small problem though. When taking out of the box, their were some loose screws. I checked it out and everything seems to be fine. Not issue found. Just kinda weird.
