Notebookcheck.net has an extensive review.
Smokes many laptops in the price range (2100 cpu rating in the graph benchmark).
Can even run Cyberpunk!
Basically a nice, fast gaming handheld at a great price!

Your comment cannot be blank.

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.

I picked up the Deck when it was on sale recently and also picked up the Ally a week ago. Spent some time with both and think both are solid in their own way. Deck for me was great Steam gaming device. With it out for over a year now, a bunch of kinks were worked out so game that were rated compatible, worked great. Emulators were easy to install and worked off the bat. The Ally is a computer with controller attached to it but is set up for portable gaming. An hour or so of windows update initially and then installed Epic and Battle.net similar to a PC which I am familiar with. Games ran better when configured. For Emulators, I am still working out the controller kinks. I ultimately kept the Ally because although Deck was solid gaming machine, I liked the flexibility of Ally. I bought a dock and can connect to portable monitor, mouse and keyboard and it works like a portable computer. Netflix, web surfing, ability to play games like Age of Empires while connected to portable monitor, plays SF6 and Diablo 4 no issues. It was right for me because I was looking for something simple/familiar I can configure and mess with where the Deck is great for someone who just want the game to work and don't like messing with computers. That's my 2 cent, everyone is different. I encourage you to check out Ally at Best Buy.
