Beat device ever. One flaw, battery life. Make sure to plug it in for after play

I am really amazed about the performance and playing all my games from my gaming laptop without carrying my have gaming laptop. If you arw planning to buy a handheld gaming pc choose this one there is another one comming out next month the only reason. I dis not chose it because it has the same processor and performance except for battery, and additional type c port.

The device itself is amazing, great most games but the battery life last about an hour at most.

I bought this near the initial launch, and saw lots of reviews about bad hardware. Coming to report nearly a year later to report ASUS has continually updated the machine, and it's been an absolute pleasure to use. I upgraded the storage to a 2TB NVME, and it was really easy to do yourself. Battery life is pretty bad (~1.5-2 hours on highest performance setting), but that's honestly to be expected.

Get gaming devices however sd card situation is frustrating. SD card showed up in advance storage and now it doesn’t. Which means I can’t download all of my game library. Other than battery life it great when it’s working. This is not for someone who wants simplicity.

Fantastic device, it delivers on all fronts. The battery life isnt great but other than that it can play anything easily. great purchase.

Excellent product, I can run all my dark souls games, destiny, grounded, gta 5, Xbox games pass games on the go with really good performance

The product is good but would be better with more storage. There are aftermarket mods to allow for a 2280 SSD m.2 to be installed which allowed me to put a 4tb m.2 into unit for more storage on the go. The low rating is for asus support as I purched a open box and get my receipt e-mailed to me. The previous person registered it to them. I contacted support case # N2401027429 about transferring registering to my account sending them a screenshot of the e-mail forwarding them the e-mail along with pic of the box and unit with serial number clearly visible but all I get is sorry this is not good enought or we see you sent this but we can't see it. So think twice before buying a open box of asus product or any asus product as it might be hard to get good support from asus.

Play whatever whenever battery life and heat are the only issue and for me that is no issue at all

Overall a very comfortable and responsive device. Sometimes in turbo mode it gest a little noisy but the gaming experience is very fun! I had consoles before but I prefer this device because of it's portability and the cross-platform games you can access from a PC. I think there are some improvement opportunities when connecting external controllers and screens, it gets tricky sometimes and you may lose some time with the configuration settings. I strongly recommend to buy a docking so you can connect HDMI ports and USB devices.

Great product screen was very clear and amazing handled anything I threw at it. My first handheld system and I enjoyed it a lot!

Fantastic device, I've used it both on Windows and several alternative Linux distros. Battery life is what you'd expect from a handheld PC, not too bad for the power you get. This model I hear is much more worth the money than the non extreme model, but I can't confirm that myself as I don't have one. Joysticks are very nice, all buttons are tactile and feel good, even after months of use. Can't go wrong, though be sure to update your BIOS and operating system for the best stability.

Love this! It’s so nice to have an easy travel option and for when I just want to game really fast. Super powerful and love the design.

Amazing product I cannot recommend this enough!!!!

Have had the Ally a little over a month now and I’m in love.. The ability to bring AAA quality games with you where ever you go blows my mind constantly. Have been rocking Baldurs Gate 3 with my buddies and it handles very well with a few tweaks. They have sites dedicated to helping you find the best setting for your games to run well too. Best purchase in a while!!!

I was initially worried about taking on a windows handheld but if you’ve had any experience with a Windows PC, youll be fine. It is a bit more involved than a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch but the power and flexibility you get in return make it worth it in my opinion. Being able to easily play Steam, Epic, XBox/Gamepass, and GOG games and have them all show in one library is fantastic. Never thought I would be able to play most modern AAA titles on a portable but here we are.

Love it! It's Really a handheld gaming computer that works great. cons would be of course the battery life

I have both the Steam Deck and I have this. The reason why I like this more is for 2 reasons. The first reason is that I am not just limited on Steam, but I have the entire PC library at my disposal. But I don't find myself playing games as often as I like, but more using this for business related stuff. It's much easier to transport this over my laptop so I use this with a USB Type C hub. Some people hate the Office options with this, but it's perfect for me because I was able to get much more achieved with this.

This is my second time purchasing the ROG and my kids and husband absolutely love it! It’s super fast and reliable. Graphics are outstanding and gaming is smooth! 10 out of 10 would recommend. Definitely worth every penny!

The Ally provides exactly what it advertises. For the portability and weight/size, the performance is outstanding. The wifi capability is fantastic. I do mainly play with the device plugged into its power source to have best performance. With the Ally running Windows 11 out of the box, it feels like a true PC experience on start up. ROG does provide their own interface however I find starting up games directly through steam tends to run smoother. The Ally will only continue to advance as technology allows
