Love this!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything was in the box and the set up was super easy! My 9 year old had been playing roblox on a tablet that was super laggy and this does this trick without having her sit at a computer. She can play anywhere she wants!

I would recommend this to a friend Not a bad buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty great device for those who would like to start in the handheld gaming space. Easy to open up to swap the SSD and the new Xbox overlay works perfectly. Good deal for refurbished product.

VRR 120 Screen
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Persona 5 Royal on the go has been a treat to play on Ally. VRR screen makes the game play smooth with no tearing. Ally is better than Legion Go and Claw! If only Ally has an OLED screen, then it would be perfect.

Just but the thing…
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.4 months in. If you are an experienced Windows user you will have zero trouble navigating this wonderful piece of hardware. Some backend setup is required to make everything fit into to place, but this is an amazing device capable of running RDR2 and many other Triple A titles. Dont listen to others about Windows crippling the device, price for performance worth it.

Realy nice handheld PC

Great windows handheld, for casual gamers
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The good: Build quality is solid, decent screen, gets bright. Great speakers. The ASUS tools make it easy to customize settings. The Bad: modern games struggle to squeak out 30 FPS on low settings even on max power mode and plugged in. For me this was a deal breaker as its a gaming console /PC. I get its handheld, and its not going to rival a laptop but for the price, spend an extra hundred bucks and get a 4050 or 4060 laptop. You get DLSS plus frame gen, larger screen and keyboard and touchpad. As far as handhelds go its great. Unless you want to game on it. I guess if your desperate and dont want to lug around a loptop you can get your gaming fix in on the go but it was just too rough form me and not enjoyable wirh the stuttering and frame deops. Also-No extra USB ports to plug in accesories. I would have liked to see a desicated chaeging port and at least one free USB C port since it is a windows PC

Great Machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is great its made gaming accessible for me again. I used to have to turn on my gaming pc and find controllers and deal with so many things. Now I can just grab the ally and start gaming. I can game downstairs with family, im no longer trapped in my office and everything just kinda works . no. tweaks nothing to get in the way of my gaming.

Totally worth it! Smooth gameplay!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OMG! I love this machine. There is a ton of initial setup especially with updates. So far, I've been using as my PC Game Pass machine which also comes with EA Play. So amazing to just pick games and play without thinking about buying (even though I still can). The first game I played was Battletoads as I wanted something lighthearted and designed for sticks. I've got Gundam, Forza Horizon 5, Doom Eternal and some others loaded up (man, even 500GB doesn't seem so big anymore).
I would recommend this to a friend Good entertainment

Pleasantly surprised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very impressive device! Playing PC games on a plane ride while plugged in was awesome. Sometimes performance can be unstable when not plugged in. Was common to need to restart to get it to run better. Totally recommend the ROG Ally if you're looking for mobile pc gaming!
