The editors didn't like
Heavier and thicker than the competition
Display is IPS
Not OLED
Higher starting price ($999 in the U.S.)
Expensive
Relatively humble performance gains at high power (above 18 W) over the Z1 Extreme
Stuck with temporal upscaling
No official support for FSR 4
The Xbox Full Screen Experience is still some distance from matching SteamOS Game Mode
The Window
Doesn't actually let you take your full Xbox library with you
Plenty of Windows and PC gaming hiccups interrupt the console-like experience it's meant to provide
An insane price tag that's difficult to look past
Very slow AMD SoC (Zen 2) - chassis (grips) noticeably bulkier - no webcam
No Wi-Fi 7 - display brightness falls short of specification
Chassis (grips) is thicker - loud fans in Turbo mode (mains) - no webcam or WiFi 7 - display brightness lower than advertised
