    It's a good handheld pc that's more powerful than the steam deck with a surprisingly solid build quality. The main thing holding it back is buggy software and general os bugs from Windows running on a handheld. But I'd assume most people buying this are aware of the potential windows issues.

    Way better than the switch or stream deck. The power of this thing is crazy. Plays call of duty modern warfare 2 and the multiplayer with out any issues. Plays GTA 5 with out lagging or freezing. Can easily play xbox game pass on this. Haven’t found a game that runs slow on this.

    If you have a Steam Deck, sell it on Ebay and get a Rog Ally. Rog Ally is a powerful gaming PC on the palm of your hand. I bought an open box with a defective SD card reader and returned it. Bought a brand new one and I am so happy with it. Since this is a Windows 11, you will need to tweak. Go to Youtube video and you will have your Rog Ally runni g in no time.

    Excellent value and performance for the price. Also purchased a monitor and dock, installed Steam and have been playing away. This is my second purchase of this item-loved the first so much I purchased one for a friend.

    I dont care about battery life, i use it plugged in. You can also get battery charging packs. If you need more space get an SD card. Does not come with a case, find a nice one on amazon. Loads of options for rog ally profiles for games. Love the windows, it takes a bit to set up. Steam and all your game launchers and sriver updates. Got on sale. Was a no brainer purchase at 400 dollars. Would wait until may for the steam OS handheld that is launching if this isnt on sale.

    Definitely glad I pulled the trigger, but I do wish that it had more power. But if you’re looking to do light gaming, it’s perfect

    I love this portable handheld, I use it with a dock to connect to my TV and a wireless controller and I have a game console that will run windows. I also use the dock to connect a keyboard and mouse and I am able to complete work tasks as well. Highly recommend. Cant wait for ROG ally 2

    IMO this is better than steam deck as it can do and play more games. I personally have not had any problems running anything that has controller support. As long as you understand windows and understand this is not a console but is a full pc you will have a great time with the Ally

    The ROG ally was exactly what I was looking for: a capable but portable gaming PC that can double as a productivity machine when hooked up to a keyboard, mouse and monitor when I am traveling.

    Love it! If you are into gaming, Gett this. I do recommend getting a mouse and keyboard combo that you can plug in using Bluetooth or a dongle. This will allow you to navigate like you would a Windows PC. The touchscreen is okay but if you are going to do a lot of personalization, you will want the keyboard/mouse combo.
