Zotac Zone review: Display Galore with class-leading inputs

[Redaktion]

With its first-ever mobile Console, Zotac is venturing into completely new territories, and while the Zone comes with many fresh ideas and simply the best inputs you can get your fingertips on right now, the 7" OLED-equipped handheld might need a bit more refinement in the software department.

No variable refresh rate support (aka FreeSync in this case) makes 120Hz handhelds completely pointless and without VRR it arguably does more harm than good for gaming specifically vs standard 60Hz panels. 🤷

Hitting 120fps in modern games on handheld class hardware is generally impossible, meaning you'll either just have to run the game at a locked 30/45/60fps w/ V-Sync (making the 120hz display absolutely pointless) OR deal with all the HORRENDOUS screen-tearing that comes with using an unlocked 120Hz capped framerate w/o V-Sync & VRR.

Now I don't blame Zotac for this crappy situation. It's not their fault literally ZERO OLED MANUFACTURERS currently make a handheld/tablet sized 120Hz display w/ VRR. But until that hypothetical display panel DOES actually exist, 120Hz is mostly useless for gaming although ofc it DOES still make all non-gaming interactions/use MUCH smoother & more pleasant.

Hi,

just a question since no one mentioned it in their early reviews. Does the two USB4 Ports supporting eGPUs? I cant find any informations about it.

How come the 15W benchmarking results are highlighted but not the 30W ones? I almost missed it.
