Good little beast
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ibought this thing to play Diablo 4 on the couch amd have loved it so far. It and similar games run great - i did have a small issue with the speakers crackling but i turned off dolby atmos and it sounded fine after that. Doesnt run super hot and network throughput is good.

This beast is power hungry
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Aside from battery life this hand held is a beast! I recommend buying a long usb-c cable so you can play plugged in. Great system but battery is too small for such a power hungry unit.

Not for novice computer gamers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I would not recommend for kids that do not fully grasp the concept of a "handheld computer". My 10yr old son was absolutely positive he could maneuver his way around using this and begged me to buy it. After all he has every gaming console out, obviously within reason, but this thing was beyond his compression. He struggled with figuring out basically everything. I had no idea how to help so Google to the rescue. Just when i was about to pull my hair out, he began yelling about how HOT the back of the thing was getting. It literally left hia little hands red due to the heat coming out. Over all, it is a GREAT product for teens and up... i wouldn't recommend anyone younger unless they fully understand the ins and outs of computers and calibration.

Nice handled for the price, at the time.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked up the Ally while it was $100 off. Don't regret it at all. It's a decent little machine in it's own right, but as a streaming, and emulation unit it really thrives.
I would recommend this to a friend Worth it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great handheld that I use for Xbox game pass and steam games. Nice having a Windows PC if needed handy also!

Great handheld gaming device
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great havent came across any problems. I just cant get used to the joystick. Im a pc controller gamer and for some reason the joysticks on any handheld gamining device doesnt work good with me or I just cant get used to it. It was even easy to upgrade the storage on it.

New Kid on the block
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coming from the Steam Deck OLED, this device took its place as my main handheld. Battery life is great, graphics are amazing. Just dont buy this on your wedding anniversary like I did and you'll do fine.
I would recommend this to a friend Must buy!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Serves its purpose well, Isnt overly complicated, you dont have to learn a new OS, comfortable to hold, good weight, i can keep going. Need an SD card or a SSD upgrade if you plan on making it your main system.

||Posted .

Power in your pocket.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’d probably give this a 4.5. I’ve purposely avoided using an SD card, which is a problem many are having and ASUS has acknowledged. Plays most xbox games pass games, but wouldn’t load Forza5. I hear the steam version works though. Plays Diablo 4 and StreetFighter 6 well.
I would recommend this to a friend Perfect for replacing itx build or my laptop.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this for when i am traveling for work. I hook it up to a dock and portable monitor. I actually got to play starfield without having to leave my itx build in a hotel room. It all fits in a case thats actually same size as my itx tower.

Unique idea
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is amazing to be able to have a small hand held computer to play games on the go only thingni wish is it you didn't have service it was easier to play some of the off lone games

Steam deck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome, nice display easy to use. Graphics are good
I would recommend this to a friend Great Once It’s Setup
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This isn’t its not perfect but as someone who is very familiar with pc and windows the setup process was annoying but not impossible. After that I really enjoyed using this device. If you’re new to the platform it’ll be an uphill battle but once you get there it’s so worth it.
