What is the difference between the Ryzen Z1 vs Ryzen Z1 Extreme?
- Z1 (non-Extreme) is like a Ryzen 5 (12 core) and has integrated Radeon 740M
- Z1 Extreme is like Ryzen 7 (16 core) and has integrated Radeon 780M

What are the gaming performance differences?
- the performance for general usage and 2D gaming is not noticeable
- heavy 3D games will be significant since the 780M is up to 3 times faster than the 740M depending on the game being played

Link for comparison for Radeon 780M and 740M:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Rad...598.0.html

How does this perform against the Steam Deck?
- This falls a bit short of matching the Steam Deck in terms of gaming performance.
- This chart will help you visualize it: https://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-...m-deck.jpg
- This ROG Ally (Z1 non-Extreme) review does a good job breaking it down: https://www.digitaltrends.com/gam...z1-review/

Your comment cannot be blank.

Like the rest are saying, this deal is okay when playing older 3D game titles, but will struggle with any new ones.

the Z1 is essentially a Ryzen 5 with Radeon 740M
the Z1 Extreme is a Ryzen 7 with Radeon 780M

That is very significant gaming performance.

I saw $480-$490 for used Z1 Extreme models, that is worth the price difference to ensure getting better gaming performance.
open box (excellent) is $339.99
This big of a discount on a product that's barely been out for 2 months is a sign that sales are practically NONEXISTENT... Makes sense though, because the Z1 Extreme is a far superior machine for only $100 more (when comparing MSRP).

Shame it's not the extreme version, not saying the price is horrible, but I want the extreme.

It runs on windows so I don't see why it wouldn't. Getting an accurate picture for it's performance might be hard though.
