    Bought a asus ally z1 extreme. Coming from steam deck it blows the gpu power and screen quality! But i find windows 11 not that easy to use from controls and instaling games. :( the sad part is the battery it only lasted 50mins on forza horizon 5 or 2 fortnite battle and 18% left from 95% If your a techy type of guy this one is for you. Kudos to bestbuy for having awesome customer service!

    This thing still does not cease to amaze me. Just this morning I was sitting on my couch playing battlefield 6 getting 60 frames per second with optimized settings. If you are unsure of the handheld PC market, you cannot best this thing in terms of price vs performance for an entry level purchase. Perfect for on the go.

    This is the best handheld console I ever used. I love the way I can play all my steam and Xbox games in the go, even though the storage is a problem, I still manage to download the games I want to play on the go.

    The ASUS ROG Ally really surprises due to its performance on gamming, but also serving as a mobile personal computer. I couldn't recommend it more!!!

    I bought this for my teenage son. He was looking at the Steam Deck but a lot of his favorite games are not on the Steam platform. After reading many reviews and comparisons for both sysytems i decided to go with this one. My son absolutely lives ut. He carries it around all through the house. It has great graphics, great battery life, great storage, and even more impressive operating speed. There isn't a game he has tried that didn't work flawlessly. Absolutely worth the money.

    Good handheld for light games. Needs a lot of tweaking if you want to run demanding games and end up having to use lower graphics settings. Battery isnt all that great but it is a gaming computer in the size of a handheld. Ended up returning after seeing so many SD card port problems. My unit wasnt affected but it was only a matter of time.

    My husband sold his steam deck because he likes this device a lot more. He can play almost all his games on this. He plays it every day. No complaints at all.

    I have played mostly light weight games with the ROG Ally and it has been mostly a good experience. The first one I got had a bad joystick but I was able to get it exchanged for one with no issues. The only other issue I have had with this device is that when you put it to sleep the rgb joystick rings will flash occasionally. Using hibernation mode in windows works fine however. Overall in the 10s of hours I have used the ROG Ally Z1 extreme, I have enjoyed using the device and have been able to play the games I wanted to play on it.

    Great system, but expensive. I would expect it to come with at least a tb storage and better battery life. However, the system is still a great purchase.

    Excellent device for portable gaming and an absolute emulation power house I was amazed with how well it ran games straight out of the box (Starfield, Hitman3, Hogwarts etc..) but after some fine tuning and tweaking with a 1600x900 res mod this thing can run almost anything with the right settings mind you this isn't as easy of a setup experience as the steamdeck but it's well worth it especially since it outperforms it by leaps and bounds. I highly recommend investing in larger internal storage down the line since 512gb will go by in a flash.

    The ROG Ally is not perfect, but the possibility to play all the games are amazing. The Xbox app is a game changer, the only negative side is the battery life.

    I thought this would be crap, but oh boy it runs all the latest games great, obviously it won't run 4K Max settings , but runs them great at 720P/1080P Medium which is more than enough for the little screen it gots. The OS being Windows 11 is a big plus cause every launcher from the big names run ,including Steam. Upgraded the Internal SSD to 2TB easily since the bios reinstalls everything with all its drivers directly from Asus servers.
