For me, this little-big handheld is awesome! If you really set it up right, you can play it, even today's games, at high detail. I've tried Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 NextGen update, Baldur's Gate 3 and more. However, you really need to play around with it. Update what is needed, etc. What brings the performance down quite a bit are the supplied drivers. These do degrade performance quite a bit, but it can be easily solved, there are plenty of tutorials on how to set up and install everything correctly. The GPU (AMD Radeon 780M) does support RayTracing, but it's not very useful if you want high base details, but if you can get by without it, you can play at ultra details (Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3: 60-80 FPS, resolution 1600x1000). Regarding the GPU performance - it's such a notebook GTX 1650, which also has hardware support for RayTracing and, e.g. AMD Fluid Motion Frames and other things. The equivalent CPU is a notebook Intel Core i7 12800H (I compared with notebook components). What to do in the end? If you travel a lot and don't want to lug around an extra bag, with an extra laptop, this is the ideal choice. This, simply, you throw into a (bigger) backpack, with other stuff, and that's it. The only complaint is definitely the battery, which could be, for such a large handheld, more powerful. And most importantly, remember - it's a HANDHELD, yes, it's gaming, but it's a small device that certainly isn't meant to achieve the performance of a high-end, gaming laptop or desktop PC. With this one, you have to sacrifice some ultra-high detail, along with RayTracing.
Sufficient performance for today's modern games
Case
Large display + resolution
Removable drivers
For me, Windows is seen as a positive thing, you can do anything on it, like on a regular PC.
The battery - and I'm giving a star down for this one - but if you're in a place where you have power available, it's a good idea to use it. source, that's cool.
Controllers - the ones that come with the handheld are quite choppy and not used to their full potential, but this can be easily solved.

I was expecting higher performance, smoothness and higher fps even after different settings you don't get some ideal game visuals. Either the game runs at low resolution, which is horribly blurry and 30-50fps, or higher resolution at 20-30 fps. For people who like the smoothness of the game this device is completely not, for the unpretentious ideal device.
Frequent crashes of games.
In time, I'm sure a more powerful handheld will come to market and it will be great.

Large display
Connectivity
Detachable joycons and built-in stand
relatively quiet fan
Travel case included
Lots of unfinished ideas
The OS build is not completely reliable
Occasional SW and HW Glitches
It does not use the potential of the APU as much as the competition
For some, the size and weight are overestimated

A complete disaster. I ordered a new device and after unpacking I found signs of use which I would still survive. But what was worse was that after connecting the charger, not a single USB port charges the battery and after discharge it cannot be turned on at all. All this in just eight hours of use. When handing it over in Alza, I wondered why the salesman kept forcing me to pay for the immediate replacement of the device in the event of a malfunction, when I was buying a brand new machine, and for a lot of money.
Excited about the new machine.
The device expired after one day.

It runs beautifully and with 30W power it can handle even quite demanding games (I haven't had a problem with any game so far)
Processing looks quality
Offers plenty of use with detachable controls
A big plus are the 2 usb C
The price is in my opinion adequate in relation to processing and performance
After buying a keyboard and mouse, it replaced my older PC
Everything is nicely thought out, nice ergonomics
I didn't find any minuses
If you want a HUB docking station with a stand so choose carefully, noname brand what I have from the ally eats current and does not remain for the console.
