Just picked up an open box for 330. Heck of a deal!

It's the Extreme version, and still the best chipset in the handhelds on market as the Z2 Extreme isn't out in anything yet despite being around the corner. I think this is a great price for where we are, and $199 should be the non-Extreme version price, or whatever cost is so they can unload them for the new models. Anyways, this thing is great and only has several downsides, the battery being the biggest issue along with cooked sd card reader, memory pool, and not using hall sticks (they are still good though), a good deal at this price to use and see if you would actually use one before spending more on a handheld.

I picked this up last time it was FP. I'm happy with it! The battery life is a the only minus. I get about 1.5 hours on a modern 2D game, and about the same streaming from my PC. Build quality is nice. I like the sticks. I heard the SD card slot is still a big problem (melting down!) so I've avoided using it. Although the USB 3 works great for add-on storage.
If you need Windows this is a no brainer for the price. Otherwise hold out for a referb Steam Deck. IMO.

Edit...
The case is a nice touch. Feels/looks premium for a freebie.

Hard to say until May, when it releases. The Lenovo is more of a Steam Deck alternative. The Ally is a Windows 11 vs SteamOS. A bit apples to oranges. It's really based on what you want to use the handheld for. Compatibility for games, and whatnot.

Came here to say this. There are videos on YouTube and reviews on reddit of people docking an egpu. It looks amazing, too. Many people say they are dropping their gaming rig entirely.

overkill? https://youtu.be/f5Uamm9cqs8?si=n0f35LvUKoUhp_zk
