    Arrived on release date! That was fantastic. The device it’s self is great, I have not complaints. I can actually use my Xbox headset to connect via voice chat without having to use wired connection, even connects to my shockz! I love it. Plays AAA games perfect, minor lag in cloud play, doesn’t not get hot like the Ally 7’s do. Battery Life is amazing, I have not run it dead playing COD yet.

    This device is just what I’ve been needing. I can play older game, or even remote play from my Xbox Series X from my couch. Not as powerful as the Xbox Ally X, but if you don’t plan on playing graphically intense game natively, then you should definitely consider buying this device. ESPECIALLY if you own an Xbox. Very comfortable to hold for long periods. Battery lasts a good amount depending on what games you play. 512GB of storage is okay, wish it was more, but you can always get a microSD card.

    It's a great product but due to the ram size and and storage space it's worth paying the extra 500 dollars for more ram and storage and get the ally x but if your wanting something for the kids or for light gaming this is a great device.

    Things great. My 3 year old loves snuggling next to me to watch me play the littler games i dont need a pc to run. Only issue ive seen is windows software related. And ive found a way to make the issue a non factor. But it can get fixed with updates. Cant put in password when logging into windows.

    I really liked it but it was not ready for prime time. It was comfrotable , astectically pleasing and not that difficult to set up ( although it was a lengthy process ). Also I feel like it was 150-$200 too expensive for what it delivered in performance . Returned it but plan on buy the Ally X version.

    Great budget device for handheld gaming. Originally it was 500 when I looked at it, but it jumped to 600 so I bought an open box for 530. Works great everything was there and no damage. Can struggle on certain games like No Man's Sky, but overall a capable device.

    Has the same performance of a steam deck but with better ergonomics. I wouldn't buy it for the list price wait for a sale and it will be worth it.

    A real mini PC that can play games on Steam, GamePass, and Playstation Plus. It works really well, graphics look great also. I'm glad I finally made the purchase. I didn't know what I was missing.

    I’ve had it for a few weeks and I’ve run all types of games so far no crazy issues with the games themselves but sometimes it’ll get stuck on rest mode so I have to manually shut it down or when I open up the side menu to adjust settings the game will crash but apart from that which has only happened a handful of times it’s super fun and super convenient I would recommend it

    Great device, might not be the full Xbox everyone wanted, but I think being able to play steam games is even better than that. I would only buy if it’s on the 489$ discount though, otherwise get a leigon go s or steam deck.
