The future is now
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can play gta 5 at 1080p with 60+ fps. That is insane. I used to dream of a device like this growing up. Spiderman runs awesome on this epically with frame generation on?

So close to greatness, but too many issues.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So much promise - a lot of it is good, but Asus has so many software and hardware issues with it that it's just hard to recommend unless you know how to tinker with it all. The SD card issue is ridiculous, quite frankly. It's a wonderful device, when it works.

This thing is amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the ally so I could play my games while traveling, but have quickly started playing most everything I can on it. Only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars is because asus doesn’t seem to be supporting it software side as well as valve did for the steam deck. That my change but as of now it has been a little bit and miss

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid device that can “easily” handle most titles with ease. Xbox game pass works solid and all platforms seem to run smoothly as long and OS is updated accordingly. Had since release and never had to return or an hiccups so far.

ROG Ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This handheld is awesome. I know everyone keeps talking about the battery life on it, which is not long but it does everything I could ask for and more being a handheld. I bought it for the ability to travel and play on the go. You can’t look at it with it being a PC but rather a handheld gaming console. You’re able to play triple A games and even stream from it. It continues to amaze me with its possibilities.

With great power comes great responsibility
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a portable handheld gaming windows experience this is a great option but be prepared to charge this device regularly. It basically has the same battery as the steam deck but with a “better” CPU and screen. However, the better hardware taxes the battery.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Game compatibility
Good product if your on the go
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a bad product. It is my first handheld and yet I seem to be using my console and gaming pc more. The comfort is not what I like the most. Also it needs more memory for sure to make it a good product. But it does play games well when they work. Been hearing about all kinds of problems it so far I haven’t experienced any.

Great option instead of laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its quite versatile. You wont have to lug around a laptop on the go if youre strictly playing games on it. But you can purchase a seperate small monitor, if needed, for other computer related tasks. Only complaint is it takes a little bit to update the entire thing between asus updates and windows updates.
