Device of the Year?
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit is WONDERFUL! I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone using a handheld gaming device especially if you play PC games. I've played multiple AAA titles on this without falter. Destiny 2, Cyberpunk, Diablo IV, etc. Only complaint is the battery life outside of it's charging state. if you're gaming on the go, really bump down the intensity or else you're looking at a minimum duration of gaming.. like maybe 1 hour at higher wattage usage

Love the Rog Ally!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had my doubts based on reviews and the Lenovo Legion Go dropping but definitely glad I went with the Rog Ally. I love the screen size and rarely ever play handhelds with the controllers detached. Battery life could use improvement but its to be expected with a device like this running all these programs. 512Ggb isnt really enough to do much with. Consider an SSD upgrade to 1TB minimum.

Great budget level gaming laptop essentially
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for ppl with motion sickness. Expect to always be plugged in - esp for the extra performance boost, but it's an extremely powerful handheld - albeit with some quirks. No, its definitely not future proof, but for ppl who have nostalgia, or a huge list of games in their steam they have not touched/finished, this is great for that.

Decent system if you don't have a gaming PC.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plays almost all modern games with out issues. Runs windows and is a great system. it is a bit heavy though for long gaming sessions and the battery life is dreadful. when playing a AAA game it can barely last an hour.

Great deal, Minor problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got a great deal on this, Black friday + Open box. Amazing price, I am enjoying the ally except for the SD card slot. It was a defect I was aware of before buying but didnt really believe. It worked for a while and I was able to emulate games etc but then one game crashed the system got hot and the sdcard was no more. This was dissapointing but besides that, I love my ally, it lets me game closer to the wife and if she wants to play something in the car we have that option. Be aware of the flaw, it is real, But so are all the other great things you hear about this device.

Small package, huge potential
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this thing. If you know how to operare a gaming PC you should have no problem enjoying this device. Don't expect this to be as simple and user friendly as something like the Nintendo Switch. It's full Windows, so expect a good bit of setup and occasional troubleshooting. Plenty of power for its size. You'll probably want more storage. Thankfully it's simple to expand.

Great portable gaming machine

Best value handheld
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It might not have the bigger battery or the more ram/V ram, but it’s still super super cool to have everything on the go. Especially with this specific product the Z one extreme check will handle anything you want on the go. The screen is fine enough just wish it was a little bigger, especially with those big bales. Nothing bad to say about it.

Great portable game system
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t recommend the official case since it won’t fit the charger with it. Abut great finds on Amazon. Also battery life is very low for high spec games. Great performance on high battery or plugged in but may be slow for really graphic titles. Great community support for game optimization.

More than a gaming device
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already owned one and needed a second one for my brother. These things are awesome, and now they're cheaper than ever. I would definitely recommend for a portable PC that's even more powerful than most laptops

Best handheld on the market.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right now this is the most powerful windows gaming handheld on the market and can handle most AAA games with no problem. The battery life is pretty bad, if you are running turbo mode, you can see your battery % decrease by the second. You have to put in some work to get the things working but this is definitely worth it. Wish the internal storage was larger but from youtube videos, it looks like its pretty easy to upgrade yourself.

It's like a handheld Xbox
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this up June 21st and I'm loving it so far. Plays most games in my Steam/Epic/GOG/Xbox libraries. Even newer AAA games that advertise requiring 32 gigs of RAM like Forspoken are able to be run at low settings for an enjoyable experience. Haven't tried emulation, but I'm told it handles PS3 and Switch emulation with ease. Great buy, frees up the TV screen so i can play my Game Pass games while my wife watches her shows.

Great but SD card reader broken
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE my ROG Ally!! It is a beast of a machine packed into a little frame. Only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the SD card slot on this thing does NOT work. It slows down the entire machine when you slot an SD card into it. As long as you’re cool just running off of system storage, you’ll love this thing.

Great little machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little machine is great! I love that i can play not only my ste games but my xbox games away from home without having to stream them or rely on a good internet connection. Feels good to hold and not to heavy. Only negative thing but is expected with these handhelds is the battery life. Its always smart to carry something around with you to charge it
