Fantastic handheld pc
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love my ROG Ally. I have ot and a steamdeck but i find myself going to my ally every singe time i go to play something at work or on the go. I carry both with me but the ally just looks and plays games so much better not to mention it does everything any other pc could do. It really is a pocket pc running on windows 11

Fun tablet style computer. Not Enough ports.
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this as a gift. It’s great as long as you keep in mind that this is a tablet with a controller strapped to it. Runs games well but battery life is short off of charge.

Better than expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was curious about the handheld pc’s and got this one open box. Performance is good if your realistic and dont mind lowering the graphics or resolution for max fps gains. I would recommend this to anyone who likes handheld gaming.

hell yeah
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is great. It plays most every game real well, it feels really comfortable in your hands, I've been extremely happy with it. Biggest downside is the battery. Playing it on the max settings, you might be lucky to get 90 minutes on the battery. Much more on the lower operation modes, but be prepared to charge.

Asus rog ally EXCELLENT
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good runs most games and havent had any problems what so ever. Controls are pretty easy sometimes you need to do some key binds but other than that super simple. Battery does die pretty quick if you have all the settings turned all the way up but I just keep mine plugged in

The best gaming handheld ever made. Period
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I been reading reviews with many getting flustered over setup, however this is legit the easiest setup you can ask for. The drivers, software, and information is all laid out for you and they even preinstalled Steam! You can download EPIC, Ubisoft, and EA if you so desire and start downloading and playing your games. For those looking to play retro games then check out Launchbox. The ergonomics and weight completly destroy the chunky boy that is the Steam Deck. The screen is unbelievable, I seriously cant understand how Valve got away with putting such a low quality display in the Steam Deck. Buttons are legit perfection and quiet for late night gaming. SSD is super replaceable and I put a 2TB in this!!! I feel like valve fanboys are reviewing this…

Fun for any gamer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite the sd card issue, the device runs great and is extremely fun. Got me back into gaming. Easy to use and portable even for its size. Have a 2 yr old and gaming has been hard but this has allowed me to game with the little time available. Recommend

The Overall Best Gaming Handheld STILL!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gamer of 35 years here, and former gaming PC seller of 8 years. Easily one of the best handhelds out there, and I've compared them all. Depending on the model you are looking at (the X is the go to if you want the best), for the price points here you're just going to have the overall best gaming handheld you can get. Now with all the OS/BIOS updates being smoothed out, it runs like a dream and if you know how to navigate Win11, you're going to be just fine. The docking potential is amazing but in handheld mode, the 1080p 120hz is just untouchable. Speakers are incredible, it's comfy, light, and you can customize the entire control scheme and switch it on the fly.

Worth it!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was initially looking into a steam deck but with the outrageous prices of them I went with the ROG Ally and couldn’t have been happier! Pretty much a handheld gaming PC. Battery life is a bit of a bummer but overall highly recommend this device!

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm surprised at how great the ROG Ally plays games. The included 3 month game pass ultimate ensures you'll have games to play before you decide what games you'll want to spend money on. Battery life is a bit short depending on game but it charges pretty fast even while actively playing.

AMAZING!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive been using this for a good week now and i gotta say I absolutely lovw this thing. Ive had no issues with it at all. Plays my games great but i havent played every game so be warned. I was on the fence about getting a SteamDeck and I saw this was announced so I thought id wait and take a risk and boy am I pleased. I already loded all my games and emulators on this guy and Im happy I went this route. Other than my nintendo switch this is my first handheld pc and I am completely satisfied. If youre like me and are new to this area you wont be disappointed with this device. Some games will need adjusting but unless you have a beast mode PC you might already be use to that. If you dont have a gaming pc already youll be learning how to adjust settings which isnt that hard but watch a youtube video or two and youll be just fine. This is my go to travel companion now and I leave my switch at home. I fly frequently across the US so I have alot of time at the airport to play. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into the handheld arena. I havent tried a steam deck but I prefer the full windows on my device. No issues and is updated frequently.

They are wrong!!! This is a real gaming PC.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not a handheld gaming device. This is a powerful handheld device that plays games. With Windows 11 and Office 365 cloud sync, I leave my laptop on my desk grab this and I can work then game, game then work u get the picture. I work in IT security and use both Mac and Windows along with my tools these laptops makes my bag very heavy then the power brick for the gaming laptop easily over 25lbs. I grabbed this my backpack feels like air now. If you are a bit on the Geek Squad of things. (Shameless plug lol) I have a Doc that allows full 30 honestly this can take over as a daily driver. I render a video faster on the Ally than my Mac Book Pro. Crazy!!!

Beast of a handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing performance. Can play anything I throw at it. This is subjective, but I much prefer the ergonomics and buttons over the Steam Deck. Battery life sucks but it is to be expected from a device with a 40Wh battery than can reach over 40W of power usage in turbo mode. Would recommend to anyone that can actually use windows.

Asus ROG Ally
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy the size, portability and premium feel of this handheld pc gaming device. Asus has continually been pushing updates out to improve the software experience. After returning the Legion Go due to the shoddy software, the Ally is a much better device for gaming on the go.

Great performance for the cost
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As handhelds go I love it. I am an over the road truck driver and i play it every day. Graphics comparable to my newer xbox, great ergonomics, nice screen. I love it. Only conplaint is the low battery life but i play it plugged in 99 percent of the time so its no big deal.

Best handheld since the Gameboy Color
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is amazing. It is everything you need it to be. It's a portable console, laptop home entertainment system all in one. I do a lot of flying and I love that I can take it with me and use it everywhere. I know the steam deck can do a lot of the same but the Ally is a portable PC. You won't regret buying one.

ROG ALLY; Better than the steam deck?
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Personally i believe the Ally is superior to the Steam Deck in numerous ways. People that just want a gaminf console should probably grt the dexk, but people who want a portable gaming computer should defintely side with the Ally. The screen is so so much better and the better graphics processor is noticeably better as well

Best handheld gaming system ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it! I bought it so I could take my sims with me without having to pack up my MSI laptop or my MacBook. This thing is amazing, just like a gaming computer but with the speed of my Apple products. Best of both worlds.
