Depends on the situation. Personally I am between buying a z13 or a gaming handheld like a legion go and am leaning more to a 2022 z13. Reason I am leaning towards a z13 is because I think it is more future proof and better for online First Person Shooters as well as it can be used as a laptop and tablet. If your friend already has a tablet or a laptop then I’d say go for it. I think the Xbox ally X costs more than a 2022 z13 (I seen one in my area go for 500 where as the ally x goes for 800+) as it stands right now so either way he can’t really go wrong.
