This is purely a luxury buy. I don't think i could ever justify spending this much on a handheld. Steam Deck makes sense. ROG Ally makes sense, especially as it can pull double duty as a competent desktop replacement. But this thing ... man, for that kind of money you can just get so much more.

For the 4TB/64GB model, I would agree. However, for the 1Tb/32gb early bird of 1100 USD, I think it makes a kind of sense. Much bigger battery, capable of double-sided m.2280 drives, really awesome color reproduction for the screen (trade off, not being 120hz vrr), USB 4 ports for lower entrance cost of eGPU (albeit lower performance compared to Rog XG stuff). If you bought a Rog Ally, power bank, and 2 Tb external hard drive, the total is creeping north of 900 USD. I'm not saying a Kun makes sense in all situations, but it isn't quite the fast and easy rejection when you add up what you have to do to make other hand helds in to a comparable experience.

At this price, use as more than just a gaming device may come to many a mind to justify the cost. The screen looks gorgeous.

Honestly all I really want is a Steam Deck version with this kind of colour reproduction. 720p for me is fine as I find on smaller screens internal rendering resolution is more important than output resolution in terms of showing off finer details and reducing aliasing. That's not saying higher screen resolution doesn't look better--especially for a device exceeding that 8" mark--but for the power constraints that are going to continue to be a constant issue with handhelds, I'd probably choose 720p into the future just to allow the devices to ramp up more of those detail settings and framerates.

It's considerably worse than the first gen Switch, which has far better sRGB coverage. I'm assuming it's because when the deck was being released Valve didn't have many panel options to choose from with that size and resolution, but it'll be my primary reason for upgrading when an upgraded Deck comes around.

@TakiUdon Can you ask Ayaneo/any 7840 device maker about enabling the Ryzen Ai? I am sure you know the 7840u has an AI Chip with 10 Tops on the silicone, BUT it MUST be enabled by the oem. By default it is disabled. Would be a shame if a capability of the chip will never be usable because the oem doesn't enable it. There is a footnote on AMD's site about the AI chip that states the oem must enable it.

I mean, if you have to play at a desk or table to be comfortable, then you can get better gaming for the $1600+ out of a desktop or laptop. It sounds like it's kind of too heavy for laying down and the loo is not ideal for hard to replace electronics. So that leaves couch and plane type travel situations. Between the reduced portability and circle dpad, I'm kinda sad, because there's otherwise a lot to like.

Thanks for the review. The Rog Ally is 699$, the base model for the Kun 512gb and 16gb RAM is 999$. Screen is better in some ways, you're getting 4 back buttons (although size and placement is questionable), hall sticks and triggers,.2 touch pads,. facial recognition,. bigger screen,.bigger battery, brighter screen,multiple IO, and better cooling system maybe (hard to say how it holds up over time) so it's not unreasonable pricing. If you have an eGPU already you can take advantage of that 54W. Not sure how the chip will hold over time. That stand looks flimsy and wonder if it will hold up. Using the Ally and switch, touch pads aren't necessary for me, windows work well with touch. D-pad isn't an issue since I don't use it much. But the benefit of this device is using that battery at similar watts as the Ally used to save battery. Performance will be the same but longer battery life. You can also get an eGPU cheaper than the XG mobiles. After all that it's a bummer it's so hard to get in. The back buttons are iffy ergonomics. Looking at their product page the bump in performance,3-10 FPS depending on game, between 30-54W isn't worth the price/fps. Agree with emulation but I think this device would be good for cloud and stream gaming as well. I think there's a lot of extras here quality wise ( sticks,. triggers,. screen,. touch pads,.4 rear buttons) that makes it an ok buy over the Ally. If you want VRR use an external monitor/TV (most ppl have one) with VRR. I don't think you get this for the 54W TDP,. You get it for the screen but more so the battery life, playing at the low wattages and settings that ppl are playing on the Ally. I would've kept the RAM at 16gb and offered 512gb/1TB SSD and then 32gb RAM with 512gb/1TB to keep prices down let ppl upgrade storage themselves and then offer a dGPU for a higher price..64gb RAM is overkill,. maybe 32gb too,. especially when this thing will be outdated by time games require that much RAM on a handheld.. looks interesting,.wait until other reviews come out but might be worth waiting for a deeper sale or finding it on eBay

This reminds me of the Neo-Geo system that came out many moons ago. The graphics were the same you would find in an arcade. What killed it: the price of the gaming cartridge which at the time was over 100 bucks which was insane for a gaming cartridge. This handheld looks great and has nice specs but I'm not sure who this is designed for. Nice gaming laptops can be had for the same price point as the top in unit here. I'm sure folks will buy this device but for many people, the price point will put this out of reach.

And I know bc I've been looking at hundreds for over a week now. They corner cut so much you usually get overcharged even if you think you made a good deal (misleading cpu names, low nitts, bad screen quality, slow ram etc). Sure this is very expensive but it doesnt cut corners making it good value for its specs. Definitely not a steal but still good value.

Honestly, for their highest tier sku, I was expecting $2K, so I guess I can understand the price. If you feel like this device is too expensive, you probably think the highest end Alienware is too expensive, too. And that's fine, but it isn't unreasonable, this device just isn't for everyone, it's for those who want the top of the top, best of the best, and are willing to pay for it. I, personally, really like it, and I'm super impressed that one can buy a handheld gaming PC with 64 gigs of ram. That's insane. I'll be keeping my eye on this as an upgrade to my ROG Ally. For that one, RAM is the only real drawback of it, not to mention how great it would be to have a device with 4TB of storage in it, too. Thanks for an excellent presentation, Taki.

If I had a thousand US dollars to spend on a "handheld", I'm probably getting the best Galaxy phone or tablet I can get just so I can better justify the cost to myself because either will be something that's multipurpose. It's not just for games (even though it totally is), it's for KZitem and all sorts of productivity too. I'd be lying if I said this Kun wasn't as cool as the back side of the pillow though. Based off your review; the type of person who can drop a grand on a mobile device just to play games and who will never miss the money is going to be very, very satisfied with this unit. As for me; I'll most likely enter your future contest and hope luck is on my side. Thanks, Taki for another entertaining review.

Look for the best GPU (7840U?), 16 GB RAM, SSD, then the rest will come down to personal preference and budget. It doesn't really seem to be that you'll be doing much better than medium setting 800p 30 fps of the Steam Deck. If you want much better than that, you'll want an occulink port, dock and use an eGPU.

I'm playing games with SMART TDP, full brightness and some games medium, some high settings but again how can i still only be getting an hour off a device with way more battery power than the aya neo 2?. What am i doing wrong. I understand everygame is different but im just playing smart tdp on an AAA game for example like Arkham Knight and im only getting an hour, how can i be getting the same as the aya neo 2 with 10x the size of battery life. I heard someone say they were getting 10-15 plus hours out of this, what was he paying SNES games lol? im so confused.
