          Gonna be very expensive paperweight in the near future with ARM devices running windows right around the corner.

If I'll buy a handheld PC, I'll probably buy a Lenovo Legion Go, by the way. It would be nice if there would be a version of a Lenovo Legion Go with a 80-Wh battery in the future. I want this product to become very successful because a 80-Wh battery may become a standard for handheld PCs if that's the case. Don't let hatred blind you. Look at the big picture.

                    LCDs do not get burn in. They get image retention, which isn't permanent and goes away on its own. OLED is 100% going to happen and is 100% permanent. When? That depends on how many tactics are used by companies to mitigate it. But your phone will 100% eventually get burn in.

                      OLED tvs have to employ a dozen different tactics to minimize burn in from just channel logos, and burn in still happens. Yet you think playing games for hours with the same UI elements is somehow magically not going to burn in? You're delusional.

                        Because of static elements you are 100% going to get burn in sooner rather than later.

Take a look at GN latest video on Asus, FTC already got their eye on them for poor warranty services. Stop being a blind fanboy, it can be a beast of a product if the support for it is one of the worst(if not the worst) in the industry.

                          They had a BIOS problem with PC motherboards and they fing released a beta fix that would void your warranty, until the backlash hit them hard and they retreated their statement. They still cook CPUs with their out-of-the-box settings even after Intel released a guide for them how CPUs should be used. If you wanna deal with such a shitty company, go for it.

                            Until very recently I was partially looking forward to this since the Ally is the ONLY handheld PC that's sold through official channels in my joke of a country ("biggest" joke which taxes the heck out of electronics, so go figure). If I ship/carry in a Steam deck or a Legion go from anywhere else I will be SoL if the device croaks and I need manufacturer support. And the older Asus Ally is dogwater as far as I am concerned, due to the SD card BBQ slot, poor battery, etc.

                            That said, this device is a hard pass. Not going to risk Asus' POS warranty services...even though I have a few RoG mobos, I haven't had issues with them so far so I don't have first hand experience with their system. And I am not one bit happy with the way they have taken no onus for the SD card fiasco in the older Ally.
                            So I am not going to tempt fate, I will wait or just get another device from outside the country since shipping it in/out might work out better than trying Asus's RMA services when alls said and done.

Has Oled screen and as good battery endurance or better (it does not run Windows 11 but efficient Steam OS), most importantly it cost cheaper.

                                Since Asus is under investigation for illegally rejecting warranty repairs and scamming customers out of extra fees I'm not too excited about Asus products at the moment.

                                  whether it is worth $799,
                                  it is great that it is in production with these Good combo:

                                  AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme,
                                  dual USB-C ports : Thunderbolt 4 + 3.2 Gen 2
                                  Windows 11 Home
                                  24GB 7500MHz LPDDR5
                                  1TB of PCIe NVMe M.2 2280 SSD
                                  comes with Microsoft 365 and its suite of tools such as Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel pre-installed—just like a regular PC or laptop with Windows would.


                                  it is a welcome combo,
                                  if price it not right, can wait for Promo later.
                                  it will be self adjusted to compete with other rivals.

                                  this is a portable way to maximize Windows PC on the Go.
                                  play as you wish, work as i wish. ligther than a Laptop, can connect to external screen.
