Z1 Extreme processor - brutal performance, couldn't be happier.
120Hz display - nice LCD with touch, also good for watching YouTube
cooling - at full load, max 70 degrees (the Steam Deck got hotter)
Steam OS - huge customisation options, much better than Windows
Ergonomics (comfortable to hold and pleasant to use)
Weight - it's not too heavy, so it's comfortable to play on even in bed.
Hall effect buttons – both paddles and the rear R and L buttons, which can also be adjusted by sliding them to either click or press.
Touchpad - small and almost unusable
Speakers - not very loud, but they're good enough.
no charger or travel case (everything must be purchased separately)
Steam OS (I'm also listing this as a negative because you can't play all titles online due to Linux and the optimisation of the whole system sometimes lags behind)
Battery - low capacity, in performance mode it lasts a maximum of 1 to 2 hours depending on the brightness setting.

If you don't have enough money for a gaming PC, buy this. It performs like a beast.
The look of today's handheld gaming consoles: a thick, tasteless brick.

SteamOS - up to twice the battery life compared to Microslop
Performance - the Z1 Extreme and Phoenix GPU absolutely crushed my older computer with a Ryzen 5 3600 and RX 580 in terms of performance.
You can basically sell your computer because as soon as you plug this into your monitor, keyboard and mouse, you've got yourself a powerful gaming rig.
you can also connect it to the telly and to a controller (like an Xbox controller) and you can turn it into a games console
it has an unlocked bootloader so you can install any other OS if you want, for example I have Artix Linux on there for when it's connected to a keyboard
Lovely to hold, fits beautifully in the hand
The huge screen is great for watching films on too.
The speakers are good and it even includes a decent microphone.
With 32GB of memory, you'll never find anything it can't handle.
1TB of NVMe space is enough for almost your entire Steam library.
Can run 95% of PC games (100% with the Windows version, games with anti-cheat don't work on Linux)
if you run out of space, it has an SD card slot
2 USB C ports
A little bit loud

I bought it because of Steam OS, which turned out to be a better option than the Windows version. Getting started and installing the first few games is quite straightforward. You need to tinker with the settings for each entry, but otherwise it works very well. You can also install games from ISO files – it takes a bit of practice, but the AI will guide you through it. I’ve also got Zelda up and running via an emulator. A device that’s very well optimised for Steam OS.

I deliberately chose the SteamOS version, I had loaded what works and what doesn't (mostly games like COD, Battlefield, APEX, and the like don't work because of anticheat). What I was pleasantly surprised by was the ability to quite easily add games outside of steam to the launcher and thus the ability to play games outside of steam (I didn't have this loaded and it's a cool bonus for me). The display, even though it's not OLED, is beautiful. SteamOS is overall super intuitive for me. Those who use Steam will be right at home, it was more of a novelty for me, but I got oriented pretty much right away. I wouldn't choose another console of this type.
SteamOS
The look of the console
Performance - I haven't yet encountered a game that the Z1 extreme can't handle
32 GB RAM is a super bonus
SteamOS makes for the perfect combination of experience for me - Console vs PC gaming
weaker battery
SteamOS may not be for everyone - you'll want to study what games work and what games don't
no case and charger in the package

It's a powerful machine, can play most new games. Example at 1920x1200 resolution:
The Witcher 3
TDP 15 W
30-35 FPS
FSR balanced
Medium TDP setting unlimited
28-35 FPS
FSR quality
Ultra KCD2 setting
TDP 15 W
28-35 FPS
FSR quality
Medium setting TDP unlimited
30 FPS
FSR quality
High setting
powerful Z1 extreme chip
plenty of RAM and VRAM in the 32 GB RAM variant
in game mode power control options --> e.g. 33 W for dock mode, 15 W for battery saving (then 2h20 min battery life)
uncomplicated and efficient SteamOS
the ability to play games from Steam, Epic and Gog (cloud saves also work)
saved positions can be uploaded via USB from PC
about 30% of Windows games can be run and controlled without any problems
for quality gaming, most games need you to play around with settings, compatibility commands and modes, driver profiles, etc. to get it to run reliably
touchpad is too small
the weight surprises you at first, but then you get used to it
the battery is not small, but it could be a bit bigger

nothing
Can't turn on, charging doesn't work either
I've advertised one and the other one doesn't work either, either Alza sold me the same one again or it's a real scumbag
I tried to turn it on by following the video instructions and nothing, not worth the money!
