Great video! 2:38 *One correction* to note is that the *8840U is an APU* and the GPU and CPU are NOT separate. The Z1 extreme Is actually just a 8840u without the AI cores, so it is using *the same 780m GPU cores*
I was wondering if this lady knows what she's talking about. She didn't have to go so in depth into it to then be wrong, hehe. Still thankful for the preview.
I think for Zotacs first attempt - it’s a good effort! A bit expensive (I have the Rog Ally X, previously Legion Go) but at least the have tried to add some unique features right like the radial dials and camera (useful for Windows Hello) and Amoled screen non VRR. The VRR screen on the Ally X really helps with games that run at 45fps upwards…. The main reason I sold my Legion Go (great device) was battery life - it drained so much when playing at 20watts. The Ally X just lasts for hours… Either way - you have to love the fact that there are more companies competing now which should push the quality aspect up from most companies.
honestly, for me. The camera is a selling feature! looking to get this as im starting isolated/remote work. And having a bigger screen to talk to family than just my phone would be so nice!
It’s supposed to come out today but I have yet to see any online or even on there website there treating this device like it’s some exclusive item why not post a release date even asking them on email they seem to not even know when there own product will release its ridiculous
The 780M is the integrated Graphics of that CPU. It is not a separate graphics chip. If you are going to report on this, please do your due diligence and report accurate information. Otherwise, it's a decent overview of the Zone.
I do believe yiur the first UA-camr to review this aince June. Please let us know when the USA release date hits? OLED is amzing and im willing to let the other stuff go for that awesomw 800nit oled screen
Honestly no! 32GB should be the norm, the Rog Ally X using only 24GB was pure corporate greed. Let's not allow these companies to rip us off more than they are
I'm excited about this device, but those bezels and that D-Pad... YIKES!!! However in hindsight comparing it to the Steam Deck, the size of 7 inches on the screen is a good compromise. Ideally personally I would prefer 8 - 10 inches. And that price...USD $1,105.00 isn't expensive when compared to the launch prices of the GPD Win Max, Win Max 2, and Aya Neo Kun. 2 hours of AAA gaming on a powerful handheld isn't horrible.
right now the most appealing handheld PC product is only Rog Ally X and Steam Deck Rog ally x offer a very solid performance with great battery endurance while SD offer cheaper price with decent performance
I didn't expect to be praising Asus for focusing on the right things above its competitors recently. That battery at that price point is just NO. This whole summer has really just been Asus making a big push while other big brands tip their toasies.
Yeah the 7840u is the same as the Z1 extreme with the ai cores left in. Every handheld for like the last year has the 7840u and now the 8840u (same but with more ai)
The z1 and 7840u are the same just different bios pretty .uch then slapped cool name on it and 780m graphics are built into the cpu it does nor have its own gpu
It's the exact same gpu and cpu as the z1 extreme the 8840u has more of amd's XDNA cores I believe for ai tasks that windows or any game don't utilize at all $850 for a handheld that will have worse battery life then the ally x due to it being roughly half the size zotac has royally dropped the ball on this one unfortunately.
Ok she has no idea about gaming lol, how are u reviewing a gaming device and not know why a front facing camera is perfect for gaming streamers? She said video calls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you knew anything about streaming then you'd know that streaming and gaming at the same time while using a low powered device leads to massive performance loss.
That camera is there for windows hello, and basic webcam nonsense, you are not going to be streaming using it. It's not positioned well, and you would be giving people motion sickness with the shakey cam of trying to play/stream with webcam built into your controller.
@Saiklohit That's an assumption as u haven't even tried it on this particular device, and even if that was the case clearly, that is why the camera is for.
Great video!

Epic fail! Lost credibility…. Do not pass go…. 😂

wew 780m was integrated its still APU 8840u. same as ryzen 7840u without the ai of the 8840u. and still the same with the z1 extreme.
It's only been a month and the Zotac Zone didn't even come out yet?
Are they still working on it or what?

24 gb needs to be the new norm for ram
Honestly no! 32GB should be the norm, the Rog Ally X using only 24GB was pure corporate greed. Let's not allow these companies to rip us off more than they are
You can also update the Legion Go to 780M graphics drivers

Looks awesome! That battery holds it back! Ally X is the gold standard.
Nah steam deck oled
Not separate gpu 780m is same as z1 xtreme
Yeah the 7840u is the same as the Z1 extreme with the ai cores left in.
Every handheld for like the last year has the 7840u and now the 8840u (same but with more ai)
Sept 13th and still no zone 💀
16th and still no zone 💀
18th and still no zone
23rd and still no zone 💀
24th and still no zone ?!
29th and still no zone
hope they put a larger battery for that amount of price
wish they have a higher ram capacity model
I'd feel better spending my money on this vs the PS5 Pro. I hope Zotac works with Valve to bring SteamOS to it.
The z1 and 7840u are the same just different bios pretty .uch then slapped cool name on it and 780m graphics are built into the cpu it does nor have its own gpu
Lemme dual boot windows and steam OS and I'm good. It'd be cool to get more ram. But I don't think it's as big a deal as everyone is saying
$850 nope.
You say seperate CPU,GPU instead of all in one APU but 780M is iGPU of 8840U. I'm confused. Isn't it the same as Z1 extreme?
It's the exact same gpu and cpu as the z1 extreme the 8840u has more of amd's XDNA cores I believe for ai tasks that windows or any game don't utilize at all $850 for a handheld that will have worse battery life then the ally x due to it being roughly half the size zotac has royally dropped the ball on this one unfortunately.
It's another version of the steamdeck. Mobile pc is really taking off.
oled with 120hz obviously gonna pricey
This GPU is using less energy then Z1 extreme so battery should be ok.
Who needs a camera on a handheld gaming device 😐, just increase the price for no reason
Face unlock, maybe?
next one should be better
Rice Oval
I dont think its worth to buy this.. i would prefer ally x. Or steam deck oled
여성분 푸짐하시네
wow that apu explanation is straight up misinformation
the trackpad is nesscessary for windows gaming handheld:
DOA
most exspensive lol
her nails make me gringe.
Cut your nails !!!!
Overpriced 💩
Ok she has no idea about gaming lol, how are u reviewing a gaming device and not know why a front facing camera is perfect for gaming streamers? She said video calls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The camera is a dealbreaker. Noone wants a camera on a gaming handheld. Asus are better.
Mirror Gaming, You're amazing! Let's be friends and have fun together!
