Love it!!
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ally is a great handheld gaming device. Very long battery life and great processor on it. It let me play all of my games when I was on the go on just not at my home. I would recommend this to anyone who has a steam deck or wants a good hand held device. 10 times better than the steam deck. 10/10

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great on the go gaming. Full windows capable so you can install Xbox Gamepass, Steam, EA, etc…Good battery life and very portable. Originally bought the Swith for gaming away feom home but hardly used it. With the ROG Ally I can play Fifa and Forza which means it will get used often

Amazing Gaming Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this device. Can play most AAA games you throw its way. I love how the controls feel and how it fast the system is. Love that it has an SD card slot and that its a computer and you can put other OSes on it if you wanted to.
I would recommend this to a friend BUY A REAL CONSOLE
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s laggy does support games that well it’s ok better to buy a big console and not waste time with this one

Great Gaming Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great gaming handheld for on the go. Has been my daily driver for a few months now. I get to bring with me my favorite PC games, some are even AAA titles. Batter life could be better but with its powerful processor, that is understandable.

Great handheld. Terrible customer support.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The handheld is awesome. It just took forever to come in through the mail. They also never delivered my case that was supposed to come along with it. And I received an email that it was cancelled…really frustrated with that.

Big power little package.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was between this and a Steam Deck. Loving Asus won me over. Upgraded to a 2tb drive instantly and never looked back this thing is a beast. Plays most modern games with a few settings changes. If you're looking for it to run RDR2 at 120fps then you'll be disappointed.

Amazing handheld device
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the ally. It's my first official handheld and so far it's going amazing and works great. I've been able to play a lot of games with silent mode and performance mode so battery life been decent. Asus really made a good device and so far they have been supporting it 100% and been pushing updates.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it! I’ve been loving my ally and its genuinely one of the best if not the best purchases ive ever made. The one thing I would advise between this and the steam deck is are you ok with dealing with windows bs or no? If yes but the ally if not buy the deck. Overall i love it.

Great when the family takes over the tv.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this thing. When the wife and kids are hogging the tv i get my ally and game on it or stream my ps5 and it works great. It does have constant updates but they dont take more than 10 mins. Great gamer dad buddy!

Pleasantly surprised
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gave as a gift to my daughter. She loves it. She can play all types of games on it without having to switch consoles back and forth. Screen quality is top notch! Surprised by just how good the speakers are. May be better than her gaming laptop.

Good first attempt
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works well. The triggers did have an issue registering completely. But overall I’m happy with it. Did not have dead zone issues or over heating issues on the unit. I’d recommend it for someone who is ok with tinkering with it.

windows is its only problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device overall, if you can put up with windows. Windows 11 is extremely frustrating to use on the ROG ally, or any handheld pc for that matter. but everything else is great.

Great Device! but know your way around windows.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used it with an external battery pack and play for hours. I have been using it as a PC with the ASUS Chargerdock, no complaints, just stay on 1080p Make sure that you know your way around updating and reinstalling window drivers, as you will need to do this eventually.

High Performance
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this. Has some issues that can be fixed by simply turning it off and letting it sit. Decent battery life for the performance capabilities, and since it runs on Windows you can play any game that the components can handle.

Good but battery intensive
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Basically useless unless you’re going to keep it plugged in. For traveling where you will have a plug this works great. Plays any game I’ve tried.
