What is the difference between the Ryzen Z1 vs Ryzen Z1 Extreme?
- Z1 (non-Extreme) is a Ryzen 5 (12 core) and has integrated Radeon 740M (256 shading units)
- Z1 Extreme is Ryzen 7 (16 core) and has integrated Radeon 780M (768 shading units)
What are the gaming performance differences?
- the performance for general usage, 2D gaming, and light 3D games 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

I prefer my Steam Deck OLED due to incredible battery life/barely noticable heat (unlike first version). Just waiting for the official Windows drivers so I can dual boot for tasks/titles that work better.
Regardless I'm having a great time playing the titles that are meant for a device like this.
Low/medium settings using FSR Performance keeps the framerates up, just like Steam Deck. If you're playing less demanding titles, like Dead Cells, Ori or Sea of Stars, they obviously run no problem maxed out.
It's like the old saying from mechanics, you can have it fast, cheap and of good quality, but you can only pick 2.
Good graphics on the go is kind of a fools errand in my opinion. I ended up with my steam deck docked most of the time, playing emulators 😂
A mini PC was the right move for me. If you have a bus/train commute everyday, I totally get it. Playing PC games on the couch just didn't quite cut it.
I'm happy these exist though, id love to see this market explode

A side note, anyone know if this is good for genshin?
At this time, the downgrade from z1 extreme for this is not worth it. I would wait until a few more revisions. If u can wait. If not, aim for z1 extreme for $600 for best price-to-performance ratio. For z1, I dunno maybe $325-$350. $400 feels too high.
