Asus rog ally, more than a handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This handheld is more than a console, is a personal computer with the capacity to run all your favorite games. His only deficiency could be the “limited” storage capacity, but nothing a decent microSD can’t fixed it.
I would recommend this to a friend Double Take !!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Asus ROG Ally is a HEAD TURNER! Its even prettier in person! ;-) This is the absolutely perfect device when away from your console or PC. For me and probably many male players the size is so key! Not only for big clear picture that is less strain on my eyes as opposed to my phone.

Pretty good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked the Rog Ally for the specs alone. The performance is great with all the games I play. I will say though i prefer the buttons and triggers on the steam deck (feels more natural). Would recommend it.

Great device!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my 1st handheld gaming device and it is awesome! Aside from the battery getting drained easily but it is really not an issue for me since i can just plug it or use a power bank. When it comes to storage, upgrading the SSD is very easy (im not a techy person). It is worth every penny.

Fun for trips
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super fun. Like using a mini pc. Only main issue is battery life. Can’t play games at full performance without it dying fairly quick but that’s expected. Other than that, wonderful.

Outstanding PC handheld
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried the Lenovo legion go but the screen died and has to return it. So I went back to the ally, my only complaint is the battery life but it's manageable with portable power bank. I love this device; I don't mind windows at all and I manage fine.

Awsome handheld gaming PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked up one of these to be able to play Diablo games on it, and its handled everything I have thrown at it since. Awsome handheld computer that can also dock and become a desktop computer with an Amazon dock and some peripherals. Edit: Bought my wife one too! Now we can game together.

Asus rog ally z1 processor
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great hand held system for sure. Plays destiny 2 no problem and Fortnite. Just don’t let anything happen to the charger due to not being able to find a new one for it. Would recommend the better processor not sure how the base model will due.
I would recommend this to a friend My first experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first opened up the box I wasnt really awear of how big the ROG ally was. I was really amazed about the graphics and how it feels in my hands but it to some time to get used to it . I would recommend this to you and give it a try.

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great performance for a handheld. Shoddy software from Asus but hardly a deal breaker. Multiple graphical options (outside of games' own options) to improve performance and/or picture quality.

good but has some quirks
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i like it but it sucked coz i forgot to turn off automatic windows update and had the blue screen of death so i have to do the recovery stuff just after the first 2 days of owning it.. REMEMBER to turn off auto windows update!

PS Vita spiritual successor
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROG Ally is an amazingly versatile platform. Running the full version of windows allows all the OC game stores to run. This feels like a worthy successor to the PS Vita in the power handheld market. The Switch just didnt have the power to software flexibility to cover the gap.

Great handheld
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome little gaming handheld, I travel a lot for work so this is awesome for long road trips/flights. Feel like I'm taking my Xbox and PlayStation with me without actually needing to take them
I would recommend this to a friend It's okay.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its okay to be honest, I didn't have mine long (I'm also just not a huge handheld person) but with it having Windows as its OS it can feel bogged down sometimes due to the bloat software windows has. if anything, seriously just get the Steam Deck

The best handheld gaming device
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this handheld. it's like having a PC in your hand. The graphic is out of this world. i never had a handheld like this. I would recommend this to everyone i know that likes video games on the go. The only issues is the battery you need to have a backup battery pack.
