If you have the Best Buy credit card, use code APR24EMOB25 for 10% off, $630 isn't too bad.

This one (Z1 Extreme) is the one to get. Don't get me wrong, the base Z1 seems superb compared to Steam Deck's comparable 512GB version, but damn, the Z1 Extreme is hitting 1080p/120fps in games like Forza and 60fps in RDR2, craziness.

Usually the first batch of YouTube reviews would tend to praise a product at launch as those are from privileged reviewers who receive a free unit from the marketing department of a vendor. I'm waiting for real end user reviews to see if I'd get one myself or invest in upgrading the 64GB SSD on my Steam Deck. If the Ally had a touchpad and ran Steam OS it would be closer to a perfect handheld gaming device, though today's battery tech would still cause concerns to some but it's the same issue no matter which device you pick.

Youtube reviewers almost always praise products no matter what. The unwritten rule is if you have a YT review channel and you recieve free products for review you review them positively or you don't get the next product for a free review. No more free products for review and you get no more content for your channel! Basically they have to give positive reviews for all but the smallest chinese companies products they would never partner with!
That's only true for punks. Legit reviewers have their own revenue streams and don't need to eat it.

I have a steam deck, an ayaneo 2 (which I really like), but I felt I had to order this one for fun.
Yea I have an SD, an Intel Onexplayer and an AMD Onexplayer. I like the SD the best even though it's less powerful and the screen blows. Windows kinda sucks on a handheld. The battery life on the SD, the thumbsticks and the compatibility are just better.

Why is this on Slickdeals... It's just full price
When it releases it might be like the ps5/xsx/switch/steam deck were at launch - basically impossible to get for a while. Even though it's msrp that's better than paying scalper prices for those who are fine with paying the $700. Not only that but there's a 10% off code for best buy credit card members that drops it to $630 before any other rewards/cashback/etc.

This is the first of many devices like this- I will wait.
Onexplayer, Steamdeck, and Ayaneo. This is not the first. The price to performance blows all the other away by miles. This is a good buy.

I'll be curious to see how this sells. People seem to be comparing it to the steam deck a lot, but the steam deck is much more of a console than a PC in terms of use experience and price.

At $700 for a windows device, you can get a very capable gaming laptop. But hopefully this finds enough success to encourage more competitive and affordable options going forward.

Na, basically 99 percent of reviews you see on YT, Amazon, anywhere except a IRL friend that you trust are bought and paid for. It is so prevalent that my wife has been offered out of the blue from companies free products or money to give a positive review of products several different times. We don't have a YT channel, we don't have Facebook, or Twitter or any of that garbage in this household and still she was offered payments for her reviews. It is THAT COMMON!
So answer me this can you have too much money? Just because a Youtube channel is getting money from one revenue stream means absolutly nothing when they can get MORE MONEY !
