Thank you for that input.

You’re right, that seems to be the consensus from all the comments. Thank you.

Not entirely sure, but there definitely seems to be a big performance gap between the Z1 and the Z1E, and I’m not willing to spend for the Z1E.

I think I’d rather get a new steam deck than an open box Z1E. The good/excellent conditions are still around $500 or more.
The steam deck also seems to have much better battery life.
Thanks for your input.
