Man, how far we've come with handheld PC's... Since the early 2000 UMPC days, to the myriad of Chinese handhelds, to the kickstarter scam handhelds like the Smach Z and PGS, to the CES tease that was the Alienware UFO, the wave of Ayaneo handhelds, etc, etc, all the way to the Steam Deck of today and the wave of new handheld PC's that are coming out. I'm excited to continually see the technology evolve each year, and I think we're probably heading to a point where the line between handheld PC's and smartphones start to combine, where maybe we'll get a "Steam Phone" from Valve one day? Sounds crazy, but anything's possible at this point.
First look at the device, it reminds me of the Steam Deck in a few ways. The twin touch pads are nice, symmetrical sticks is great to me personally, because I grew up with Playstation, and I always preferred my stick placement like that. The Dpad looks terrible though, I hope they alter it.
Yeah, we're getting very close to perfect though. Improvements; -Less terrible DPAD -USB5 (for eGPUs) -32GB DDR5 RAM Then I think we're basically there.
@@Fleshlight_Reviewer If they did that would be amazing, but they won't. It'll be low profile RAM modules which are soldered to the board. So not upgradeable.
Still annoyed that both models of Steam Deck only has a single usb c port. Fr, is it really that hard to add multiple usb ports on these devices? The upcoming Ally X and MSI Claw 8 have two usb c ports.
OK clearly everyone is getting into the handheld PC race which I guess is a good thing as competition is healthy and means they compete in price, features etc.
Hope to see more gaming handheld, I'm still chuckling at the fact we're back to the days of small UX elements with on handheld i.e. "pocket pcs" which ran on Windows CE lol. But yeah.. i'm curious to see what Zotac comes up with as a optimised launcher for games etc.
About the earphones outlet, putting in the top makes the cable go in front of the screen. And even if we get it under the device, the cable will always be forced to make a turn backwards that eventually will damage the cable. The bottom option for that earphones outlet will always be better than the top one...
Hardware doesn't matter if Windows isnt optimized. Hardware wise, pretty much everything beats the steamdeck but its the steamos that puts it over the top
Screen is dealbreaker - hate when there is space for bigger screen but we get thick black frame instead also trackpads are to low - wish they were modular so user could swap them with analogs
I wish it had vrr, and 32gbs of ram, but oled, and great ergonomics, track pad, trigger selection, plus zotac is in the mini pc space so they really know what theyre doing with small packaging. Im highly interested in this device
The foldable stand keeps the stand part thin without it being fragile nor taking up extra space when you toss it into a bag. Compare fixed stand docks to that folded in a padded lens slot in the camera operator's bag.
So, no gyro at all? That's too bad. I think having a gyro is the way to go. It's another option for people that actually make use of it, like myself. Seems like the thermals might be a little high seeing there doesn't seem to be much opening for airflow.
512GB isn't really that important - you can easily upgrade if it's 2280. 24GB RAM is nice, but that won't have any increase in average FPS. Just 1% lows in like 1% of titles. The Ally X doesn't have an OLED screen either, so there's that - which is a huge factor. "DOA", not really. Different - better in some ways than the Ally X, worse in some ways.
@@Patrick-y4d1zthere are some games which max out the 16GB shared ram between CPU and GPU, and future games will only place more demands. Not very forward looking unfortunately.
Agree. It looks like a last-minute implementation, and since you already have to press the Power Button in order to wake the device, then just put a quick fingerprint sensor there and be done with it.
It's different with consoles they share their ram with CPU and GPU in a unique way compared to traditional gaming PC setups or handhelds in this case. But when all is said and done 4gb vram is really bare minimum honestly becoming obsolete @@oo--7714

Thanks for quick review, especially comparing sizes.... have not, however, managed to catch OLED LCD resolution as well as battery specs..... Docking station DP and more USBs is not very convincing. Any mid range Baseus USB hub will be better... Smell test is also a plus xD
That is the first handheld I've been interested in since my preordered Steam Deck 1TB LCD (It used to be a 256gb lol). As a Linux guy, I wonder what it would take to get Bazzite on it.
So far... the design looks good 👍 I like it better than Steam Deck, MSI CLAW & Rog Ally. Legion Go remains as my top pick handheld design until LGO remasters the design by making it both slimmer and less heavy. I love mechanical buttons.
as someone that actually daily drive an ally, even used it as production machine and aware of the phone link webcam thing which can turn your phone into webcam, I'd rather have an integrated webcam and I'd rather do any kinda of video meeting with it than using my phone. But yeah the windows hello can go to trashcan, overall that is actually neat
The only thing thats important is the power of the 8840u and the batterylife. I just preordered my Ally X because I have an Ally and the batterylife sucks. If the Zotac hadn't the OLED and a VRR + good batterylife and performance it would have been my favourite device in the PC handheld market.
24GB Ram please! Nvme m.2 2280 . First Asus rog ally Z1 extreme buyer like me know 16Gb model will not be for me. SO if you can go with 24Gb ram and m.2 2280 please 🙏
I'd really like to see some of these devices use SteamOS. Each time they are reviewed and compared to the Steam Deck, there's a part where the reviewer says the experience is not as good as SteamOS.
I don't like the design overall but have some good stuff anyway d-pad looks awful, big bezels are minus all these devices with the same APU basically and they don't increase memory to 32GB and no VRR. so we can tell even with the ridiculous warranty environment in ASUS, the regular Ally with Z1 Extreme is a better option. I don't think this device will be below $500
Not a fan of the huge bezels, honestly would rather the plastic just come in further. Doesn't look good and it's just more surface area for the glass to break from drop or impact.
Oh man.... the irony is too much for me roflmao. Microsoft's short sightedness in axing the mobile division has brought us back full circle to "pocket pcs"! Behold! The New Modern "Pocket PC" Era! Roflmao. Microsoft needs to bring back touch centric UX of Windows Mobile 10.x with 3D live tiles as that would go awesome with gaming handhelds especially since the UX elements are tiled allowing for Games to display save information, along with co-pilot be able to pull sources for hints, tips, tricks, show relevant discord and/or steam chats for the game. So much potential there.
Exactly why the majority is going with the steam deck and not these window handhelds until Microsoft makes there os better for devices like these I’ll be sticking with the deck for now cause windows is a damn mess for handhelds
Can we get a handheld that actually stands out? The 1080p AMOLED is nice... But this is the same basic Ryzen APU... We almost need a low power dedicated GPU in one of these... Even with the power constraints.
Rumours are that Sony is bringing back PSP which will be able to run modern PS4 & PS5 games and will have its own game liberary after seeing the positive interest of the public in Handheld gaming
Another pc in handheld gaming form factor 😱🤗 , the era of handhelds has begun pc components have gotten small enough you can put them on handhelds , not just tablets n laptops, Sony, Microsoft , Nintendo : the PC is coming for you guys lol in terms of performance not even the NS can compete , if Nintendo n Sony n Microsoft want to remain relevant in handheld gaming they’re gonna need at the very least mobile SoC from Qualcomm n others if not they’re gonna need AMD n Nvidia n Intel to start making handheld hardware for them , nvidia needs a powerful Tegra SoC from at least the upcoming Thor line to give Nintendo an edge over other mobile SoC n PC makers , if the next Nintendo switch can’t hit single issue single precision of at least 9 tflops it will be left behind in terms of performance because by the time the next ns switch hit its half life production run it will be blown away by prob 20 tflop or more handheld pcs and mobile devices like smartphones n tablet pcs
@@jaynosowsky9708 Yeah this thing just came out at £850. £50 over the price of the ROG Ally X, with 8GB less RAM amd almost half the battery life. I like the screen, but I'm not paying more to sacrifice performance.
Zotac wants to be recognized more. And I respect that! Zotac cards are one of the cheapest you can get in the market, not a fan favorite when it comes to quality. but, if you're on a budget, Zotac may be your choice. Like Palit
Those thick black bezels look horrendous, sorry. At least the Ally had smaller side bezels (but still too large top and bottom - would totally benefit from 16: 10 ratio instead of 16: 9 to reduce them), and the SD OLED smaller overall. Large bezels make the device look already outdated.
Originally it’s hard to play some worthy current-gen titles at 1080p in the lowest setting possible,hence I prefer to play the same games on a full fledged PC.
Awesome! I love how they have the symmetrical stick layout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The d-pad doesn't look very good though. I'm not sure about the device shape though. Maybe needs more refined. Those dials around the sticks don't seem like a good idea. Those back buttons are too big and in the way. Tell them they need an 80mAh battery.
Zotac, please use Linux for your handheld. Windows is not a good UI for handhelds. I tried asus, msi and other windows based handhelds in a store and I was immediately put off from every one of them. The screen is so small and windows is just shit. Look at how steamdeck does it and copy that. They have amazing suspend and resume modes, and really good battery life/optimizations. You can also use manjaro's gaming edition (whenever that comes out) since they're also making their own handheld and using manjaro for it (its called orange pi neo).
If all buttons + D-pad were clicky and everything else works well, this would be my first choice for a PC handheld. I already have a Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma just for the clicky buttons.
Short-throw mechanical triggers, jog wheels around the sticks, dual trackpads, Dpad-centric stick layout... Wish the buttons were mechanical, too, but the controls look very promising overall.
I forgot to say it in the video, but the screen is 1920x1080.

Good choice. 1080p offers plenty of pixel density in such a small screen. Higher resolutions just negatively impact performance.
