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

So where is it useful? Maybe if you're playing lightweight games that require Windows or if you are game streaming on Geforce Now using the 120Hz display. But outside of this its hard to recommend as a product. I would recommend either Steam Deck or the Z1 Extreme version of Asus Rog Ally.
Youll have buyer's remorse.

Software wise just a matter of preference.
I would say this is a fair price for its value. And I do love ASUS.
