Good product but rough at launch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a really good product to use and able to play a lot of your games easily. However, be aware there’s issues at launch such as bios, SD cards being damaged, freezing on optimization, armored crate etc. if your still planning on getting worth getting it when the bugs are fixed

Love this system
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was on the fence about getting a handheld gaming PC for a while. Finally jumped on this when i saw it was on sale. It plays everything i throw at it. Of course, you have the adjust the graphics settings. However, due to the small screen size, games look excellent on medium/low settings. Highly recommend.

Higher performance Deck
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you only play steam games, buy the steamdeck. If you play games on any other platform as well as steam, this is the better option. Better performance at higher clocks. Performance at low wattage lags behind the deck slightly. Runs windows, so you can do whatever your PC can do.

Great handheld controls could use better tolerance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best handheld gaming experience in my opinion. Leagues better than the Switch and more capable than the Steam Deck. Great for almost all games from Triple A to indy games. My only complaints are that the control sticks grind against the casing and that the A, B, X, Y face buttons feel loose and spongey.

Great Portable PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent item!! Great graphics and the advantage of using multiple game stores and emulation. Do your homework, this is not a typical handheld console, it’s a potable gaming PC. You will need to tweak settings for your games.

May be great someday
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the ROG Ally as a portable gaming tower that I could take on the go, paired with a 6850XT Mobile that I could use at home for a bit more performance. The hardware is awesome. The software is horrible. The battery life is also horrible. Windows on a handheld device fails miserably, causing absolute chaos on my system. Armory Crate has plenty of issues, and the process for pairing with the 6850XT Mobile was painful. While docked performance was fine, the battery life was horrid, making it. a non-starter for my longer commutes to Boston. I wanted something with a bit more power than the Steam Deck. This has the power, but not as much love and care as the Steam Deck does. I think with that love and care it can become better than it, but it is absolutely not there yet.

The best if you’re comfortable with computers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very capable windows handheld. One downside is battery life when playing the more demanding games. Another is windows. If you want a pick-up-and-play device, look somewhere else. This took some configuring and learning to get perfect. But that configuration was well worth it.

Great Graphics but will chew up the battery
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this thing is nice. It has great graphics and I have had no problems with it freezing up or anything. Battery life could definitely be improved though but can be mitigated by turning down the resolution and FPS.

After Patches It’s Great!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been really impressed with the ROG handheld. I’ve owned it since launch and at first it was a little rough, but after a few patches the system is really stable! I’ve basically turned the ROG into a docked emulator computer. Works great! Plays everything from NES to Switch. I play this more than my Steam Deck!

Its the bomb
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Read all the reviews about this bad boy and i was a little hesitant at frist but i took a chance on it and it payed off this thing runs every thing I throw at it with little to no problems. The only the i whould say is this thing eats up power. So its best to play plugged in or get a extend power bank.
