I went in thinking that this thing is going to stink. But I realize that its not that bad at all. I was terrified that my sd card reader was going die, never did. It plays all my games with great performance. I took one star away because of all the sd readers that died. But fingers crossed that mine doesn't die. My best advice is if you know nothing about windows dont buy it but if you had a laptop in the past you will feel quite at home with this one.

easily best investmant I've made. It goes everywhere with me. Yes, the battery life could be better and the screen a little larger but it's been ideal.

Ive been loving every second, even my girlfriend loves it, cant keep her off it lol. The only thing so far im worried about is the sd card problems, im nervous to use one. But will try to with a small sd card first!

Sure, there's some updates and setup needed out of the box (it is a PC, so that was expected), but that all went rather smoothly. It feels good in the hands, control layout is great, and the screen is just amazing. I installed a new 2tb ssd upgrade. This was also very easy to do. Asus has how-to videos online, just make sure to update everything thru the MyAsus app first. Then you can use the automated cloud recovery to reinstall everything. I also own a Steam Deck but this will be my new go-to when I wanna do some handheld gaming.

To be fair, the ROG Ally is a very good gaming handheld but after using for a few days I returned it and got a full refund (thank you Best Buy!). The system just didn't feel right and using Windows on such a small screen was unpleasant. But that was me so don't be dissuaded by my impressions. In many ways it's superior to the Steam Deck that I ultimately ended up buying.

recently purchased the ROG Ally from Best Buy, attracted by its sleek design and promising features. However, my experience with this controller left me with mixed feelings. On the positive side, the ROG Ally boasts impressive build quality and ergonomic design, making it comfortable to hold during long gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive, and the overall feel is premium. Unfortunately, my enjoyment was marred by a persistent issue with the right analogue stick. Despite initial smooth operation, I found that it would intermittently drift, causing frustrating moments during gameplay. This problem persisted despite multiple attempts to recalibrate the controller. While the ROG Ally has the potential to be a top-tier gaming accessory, its reliability falls short of expectations. For now, I've returned it to Best Buy and will be exploring other options. Overall, the ROG Ally offers a blend of quality construction and functionality, but its inconsistency in performance, particularly with the drifting analogue stick, leaves much to be desired. Proceed with caution if considering this controller for your gaming setup.

Literally doubles the performance of the Steam Deck while doubling Image Quality, very good for the price! Add in a portable monitor, and you have a complete gamer laptop replacement

Its a good device but not for every body. This thing is very powerful but the battery drains very quickly and i feel like many people cant enjoy the games when played on that small of a screen

It was good and decent fun to have for the mean time

I like this so so much because it has great graphics and it's not so so easy to transport.

Rog ally has been a very fast and powerful device. Though the battery leaves much to be desired. This little device packs a punch. Being able to compare to current console performance

Batteryvlife short ad card defect but O love playing games with usb-c connect to my monitor i am wait for its next iteration

amazing performance in a small package, only downsides are the white plastic gets dirty easily and the battery life isn't that great

Great device. FIFA 23 works perfectly at 900p. Battery life is bad. Barely lasts 1hr15min playing FIFA.

This device is perfect. I had the Steam Deck, and when this came out, I immediately sold my Steam Deck. This decice is better in most ways - the only exception being the battery life.

Good handheld unit. Plays my games and is also a great handheld PC to watch YouTube and videos. I would recommend if you are looking for a handheld product that is similar. One downside is this market is moving so fast that this seems to be last years model with new models coming out. It still does what I want it to do.

Great handheld play GOG, Steam, Epic, and xbox gamepass also allows you to stream from your xbox

The best and far above the rest. Just like having a gaming laptop. Just handheld. Ive had no issues. Battery life 3 out of 5 stars. I love asus products. No complaints.

Love it. Up to now I play anything I’ve been wanting to play. Which the battery life was longer.

Blown away of how well this runs. It has to be on medium setting for most games but re4 and 2 remake are very good on medium. Elden ring and dark souls 3 run very well on medium settings. Also the dead space remake is very well ran on medium settings. Havent had good luck with call of duty but the severs in that game are really bad even for my pc most of the time. Been having lots of fun witb it definitely recommend goving it a try for that on the toilet, in the bed, or front porch gaming experience
