The best thing I've ever bought for myself! I've had this portable console/computer for just over a week and wow! i'm blown away by how awesome this thing is.The touchscreen is responsive and the image quality is great. The speakers are crazy good too. The memory capacity is expandable with a separately purchased ssd and seems beginner friendly to do, however I've yet to run into any problems and I've downloaded around 10/20 medium to heavy apps and games.I love that I can use it as a mini computer and I'd highly recommend buying a portable keyboard and trackpad set if you'd want to use it more like a laptop. I will also be investing in a dock so I can play games on the big screen.It takes a little while to work out how to use it and download all the updates, but once you get over that initial hurdle, this thing is a beast!!!! One small note - the battery life is only an hour long off charge, but I primarily play plugged in on the 2m charging cable provided.Overall, I'm really happy and my inner child is having so much fun :) Thank you Asus!I got this from Amazon Warehouse and paid £375 - absolute bargain.

Been around 2 weeks since I started using it. Genuinely an amazing device. It performs amazing. The gaming capability of this thing is 10/10 however I did get a couple of lag spikes. Sound is amazing as well so you don’t have to worry about headphones. However 475gb storage is just not enough. You can download a couple of games, but you really have to take care of how you use the space. So later on you should definitely upgrade the storage. Value for the money I payed is a little high and I’d expect some more from it. But I am overall happy with the product.

I really liked this little console. It's sleek, stylish and pretty powerful too. I had little trouble running relatively new stuff on it. It seems to stay nice and cool and the screen is sharp. The thumb sticks I found were a little harsh on my delicate fingers though some rubber doodads sorted that out.Unfortunately it was a bit of a duff purchase for me purely because I never leave the house. I stopped going outside once I realized just how many other people are there. They really ruined the experience for me, so I'll not be going there again.

Excellent console. Perfect for emulation all the way up to PS3. Runs a good deal of recent AAA games with little compromise on performance or graphics. Only drawbacks are the well known issues with the SD reader commonly becoming unusable due to overheating and the limited battery life. Both of these issues can be overcome with aftermarket mods/accessories however.

I already own 2 Steam Decks and this was available for £399, so I grabbed one. I'd had my eye on it before but couldn't quite pull the trigger but at that price point, I felt it was rude not to.The first downside is you have to get a case for it, unlike the Steam Deck which already comes with one. It's not a major issue but I do feel that it should come with one given it's major competitor does and sometimes the little things matter.Anyway, if feels nice in the hand and obviously has RGB in certain places which is popular with some, but at least you can turn it off should you need to. It will update Windows (it runs under Win 11 if you didn't know but you probably do) pretty much when you get it, so wise to just get that out the way. I also upgraded the SSD to 2TB which for this model is the biggest currently (the newer one has a standard 2280 NVME so you could go to 8TB if you have the cash) and being honest, 512gb is nothing these days so you're going to want to upgrade. I also popped in a 512gb Micro SSD for games that speed of loading isn't such a factor. On the note of upgrading the SSD, both the actual physical install and the install afterwards of the OS is much easier than the Steam Deck - but if you're going to do an upgrade, I'd do it on arrival rather than later personally (you can clone it if needed but it's just easier/quicker to just do an over the air re-install IMO).Performance wise, it's perfectly fine. I'm not playing anything mega complex - Kingdom Hearts, FF VII and FMV games are my thing. The Armory Crate software has most of the normal launchers but Epic is one you'll have to install more manually at first (it will integrate into Armory Crate once installed though). It's also not the best front end, it's not the worst either and ultimately does the job.As the Steam Deck does, you can also install games across your LAN once connected which is useful (obviously you have to have your PC on to do so) and that just makes it quicker to do so than re-downloading it as such. Screen quality is very good, I have nothing negative to say there, even smallish text was fine. Battery life is ok - it's had a few BIOS updates since launch and I think those are more ironed out (there's also performance tweaking you can do here, as you can on Steam Deck). Sound from the speakers is very good, I feel a touch louder and cleaner than the Steam Deck but everything is subjective.You also have the ability, like the Steam Deck to play on a monitor but that's not for me - feels like it defeats the purpose of a portable system. Charging time is reasonable (it comes with the typical ASUS puck charger). I use a screen protector on all my devices so can't comment if the screen is resistant or not - I just protect that as standard.For the cash (which was discounted) I'm very happy I can play Steam, Epic, EA or whatever games without any fuss. Even games that have anti-cheat like Destiny 2 could run on this (I haven't done that, I do prefer to play that on my PC) which is one thing that the Steam Deck can't, or titles like Fifa (apparently - football is NOT my thing whatsoever). I like my Steam Deck, don't get me wrong, but having this just gives me a bit more flexibility overall. It's a really nice piece of kit and I'm glad I picked one up while I could.

It's good, I use it as an all in one device as a PC and gaming. Imagine it as basically a gaming laptop but in a different form factor. It's audio, and responsive screen is really nice. It has 512gb internal storage but expandable, so it really isn't bad. I probably wouldn't expect it to play games at high settings for every game, but I am a light gamer anyways so for me it is more than enough power. Basically, just imagine a gaming laptop if it was smaller and in a different form factor, but cheaper for the price. The only thing I don't like is the battery but most laptops don't have great battery anyways, so I guess it's better than others.

So, the system itself is a great idea and it works fine if you don't encounter any issues. It's a good, relatively cheap PC with mid-range specifications.However, I had mine for less than 24 hours before the entire thing crashed mid-game (a steam game at that) and refused to boot, reset or even do a full wipe via both bios and boot menu.Unfortunately had to return it as I think it might have a few issues at the factory level.

Awesome , only criticism is battery life , needs to be plugged in when playing games.
