Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] The z1 extreme is a amazing product. The joysticks are nice and firm. The battery life leaves a bit to be desired but overall, it can handle any games you throw at it. The storage capacity is kind of weak at 512 gb but you can upgrade it. This is a great product to take with you on the go.

It's great for playing games, very easy to use, and I love the flexibility in the games.

Super powerful handheld, easy to use and setup… First time using a handheld anf blown away by the performance

Amazing! Is just as a pc and i connected to my monitors and it works fast and smooth.

Bought this to replace my 6 year old. cheap gaming laptop. Does everything i need it to do. If i need more power, i keep it plugged in. Bought used best buy deal, paid under $300. Play it everyday.

For $400 I can’t recommend the z1 non extreme enough. Especially if you’re willing to install bazzite or chimeraOS. It unlocks much more options, simplicity and, smoother more stable gameplay. Otherwise, windows 11 is still good. It just comes with the pros and cons of well.. windows 11.

I love the ROG this is the best portable gaming machine.

As far as gaming handhelds go this thing is amazing. Battery life while gaming could be a little better but I wasn’t expecting it to be amazing. Graphics for the price are great. Again didn’t expect to get 3070 quality out of a handheld. Fans are quiet and upgrading the ssd was a breeze. 10/10 would buy again. Love this thing.

I was deciding between this and the G Cloud, to use for remote gaming from my Xbox. At the time, this was only $100 which was worth it for me. It can run older Xbox games from game pass perfectly when i have bad internet and is excellent for remote gaming when i have strong.

Everything in the Halo Master Chief Collection plays at 120fps maxed settings. Most of the recent games I can get running between 30-60 fps with some tweaking. 30fps seems to be the sweat spot for visual quality and playability. Since it is more or less a Windows gaming laptop minus the keyboard you can run anything on it. Battery life is “good enough” haven’t tested that to know the true limits but it runs long enough for me, haven’t been in a situation where the battery completely yet. It works great with my generic USB C dock, turns it into a nice desktop. I do recommend getting a wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad to help with some desktop related inputs.

I was enjoying it for the first month of having it, played mostly docked and on TV. Then one night when I just wanted to play in bed , I noticed the right analog stick was grinding. Only 1 month in. What do I do? Go to Best Buy for service. According to my Geek Squad technician, it’s a known defect due to poor manufacturing standards. As this was 2 weeks out of return, I was given 2 choices: Pay $180 for the Best Buy Total, which extends the he return window, or ship it out to be repaired. So either pay an additional almost half of what I spent originally, just to artificially extend my window return window on a less than 1 month old product OR send out the unit with known defects to be repaired. Well…here I wait for my repair.

It's like a mini computer that can go anywhere. It has quality buttons and controls. The only downfall of it would be that the battery life isn't the greatest and that when playing games for extended periods of time it needs to be plugged into a charger

I am an Andriod user and unlike the limitations on iPhone I was able to use emulators on my phone. The ROG with windows 11 is like a dream come true. Works great with emulators and steam, xbox apps! The battery however leaves a lot to be desired however is very manageable at certain settings.

Got a great deal for this beauty. Great for gaming.

Best decision i ever made was to buy my asus rog ally. Its a very powerful handheld capable of running the best AAA Games. The design is impeccable, from the textures to the lighting effect on the joysticks. You can tell alot of love and development took place in creating a handheld gaming pc

Great system, truly love the lat out every easy to use and it allows you to play all your stream games easily. Fact you will need a strong internet server because it will not look good.

Awesome, easy to use, great gaming platform for games on the go our lounging on the couch. Runs all games I’ve tried so far with some of the AAA games running the battery kind of quicker then I’d like but for smaller or less powerful games last long enough before a charge for like 30-45 minutes a session

Love this portable pc so far, love the screen and RGB

This is an amazing value for what you get. I suggest externak keyboard and mouse and a dock to take full advantage. The battery is not fantastic when playing AAA games, but having it docked and connected to an external display with a wired or Bluetooth remote is fantastic.

Great machine at sale price. Plays most things I've thrown at it with expected settings. It's not a $2000 desktop, if you plan to be mobile with the handheld it's a great option. The open box excellent I received did not have the little stand so that was a bummer but you can 3d print one online.
