A: AnswerWhile there is no benchmarking of the Z1 chip yet vs the Z1 Extreme the integrated graphics has 4 RDNA3 cores vs 12 cores on the Extreme, for reference the Steam Deck has 8 RDNA2 cores. Expect a large performance drop off for this model, below that of both the standard Z1e RoG Ally and the Steam Deck. With only $100 savings off a $700 device, I would not recommend getting this version, you are losing 66% of the GPU cores. Just wait and save the last $100.Answered by Anonymous

Its Biggest Pro and Con Is Windows
First off, yes this is a device I recommend if you're a gamer who isn't obsessed with high end graphics and wants to play with games across a lot of platforms. For new AAA titles, you will most likely be playing each game at 720p and using AMD's upscaling feature to bring the resolution up to 900p or 1080p. The "Super Resolution" effect as they call it actually does really well, and a game like Cyberpunk can be ran on this little device at 720p upscaled to 900p with motion blur enabled and run at about 47fps, keeping in mind most of the other in-game graphic settings are set to "low" but it doesn't matter too much because it still looks good. Another game I like to play - Overwatch 2 - is rendered at 900p upscaled to 1080p and I'm able to average 97fps with most of the in-game graphic settings on low. Keep in mind once again the Super Resolution feature makes this game look crisp! In addition, I play this particular game while the ROG Ally is docked to my dual monitors and I use a mouse and keyboard. What makes this device so versatile is it runs Windows, so I have Steam installed, Epic Games installed, and Xbox cloud gaming which I don't use. I also have a PS3 and Xbox 360 emulator as well BUT good luck trying to get a PS3 game to run well on here. I've tried Gran Turismo 5 and it probably pushes 25fps yet struggles to render cars quicker so you'll see the suspension of a car rendered before you actually see the body rendered a few seconds later. It just doesn't have enough power and this is with Vulkan even. Xbox 360 games don't have that much of an issue. What holds this device back from being better is also Windows. I say this because I can't really see this device as something I can bring out in public without bringing the extension cord. The battery life is trash. There's three power modes: a 10 watt silent mode, a 15 watt performance mode, and then a 25 watt or 30 watt turbo mode depending on if the ROG Ally is plugged in or not. 10 watt silent mode really is for using this device for multimedia like watching Netflix (which the screen is amazing by the way) and not any gaming unless it's as basic as solitaire. 15 watt performance mode can run low quality games like the Sims 2 or Bioshock remastered, and 25-30 watt turbo is reserved for Cyberpunk and Overwatch 2. You'll pretty much have to be in turbo mode to play any new AAA game, and guess how great the battery life is? Probably 45 minutes. Your mileage may vary but this is with the screen brightness at 75%, so. Compare this handheld to something like the Steam Deck that runs Linux which has better battery life HOWEVER you're not getting the same vast array of games to play like the Ally. Windows is also really buggy and I've already ran into system updates being halted by BitLocker, endless "restarting" issues, no actual sleep/wake feature, and apps like Steam freaking out and not launching games if you don't have an internet connection. With all that being said, I love this product. I have the time and knowledge to tinker with it to get everything right and I don't care that the battery life is abysmal because I almost always have it plugged in and I'm usually playing games that aren't meant to be played casually, like games that need your focus which is something I can't do in public.

The Asus ROG Ally is what I was looking for
I've always wanted a way to play my favorite games on the go. I'm sort of a PC gamer in that I own a PC and have a few games, but nothing too processor heavy since everything I have is many years behind. When the steam deck was announced, I thought that would have been the perfect solution to my ongoing need for portable gaming. Then came along the Asus ROG Ally. Even the lower end model (which I purchased), it was on par with the highest end steam deck model AND it runs Windows 11. This allowed me to access my games through not only Steam, but Origin, Epic, and the Xbox marketplace. I was able to search around for the best deals on games I wanted to take with me me without the constraints of one gaming ecosystem to stick to. Pros: Ultra portable gaming. Windows 11 if I want to run any mundane applications other than games. Functions like a touchscreen computer. Carry around portable bluetooth keyboard and you've got a perfect on the go writing solution. Cons: The battery life isn't great while unplugged, but most places for travel should have an outlet nearby. Accessories are minimal and a little more expensive. Frame rate on higher end games a little choppy, but if you wanted a high end gaming machine you would have put way more money into it than what this costs. All and all, this is basically all I've ever wanted and I am very happy with this purchase.

Awesome machine
Absolutely loving this little handheld. I was in the market for a device that could play ARPGs and what not along with some AAA titles on the go. This fit the bill perfectly. Bonus that it was on sale. I have a gaming PC at home so I opted for the lower power Z1 model over the extreme model. Not one regret. I have used this daily and have connected my Xbox Pc Game Pass, Battle.net, Steam and Ubisoft accounts. If you’re on the fence about it, just pull the trigger. Yeah, the battery life is not great but that’s the trade off for a handheld with gaming PC capabilities.
