    This is fhe best handheld system and i can tell since i had a steam deck believe me it has all you need and if you want to upgrade the SSD just buy a 2TB and you will be all set. Totally worth the money.

    Fantastic console. Very easy to use and great for road trips. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get into mobile gaming. Runs quiet and in turbo mode has the best graphics of any handheld I have ever used. Games run super smooth.

    I own the steam deck and while the steam decks UI is a lot more user friendly for beginners the overall experience is much more enjoyable on the ally for sure if you're familiar with the windows interface

    It’s good. Powerful, I play all the old school emulators like ps2. Brings me back to my younger years. The sticks suck though. Too skinny.

    Othen than Some Window’s 11 hicups, this machine is amazing and its currently only pocket pc system with VRR 120hz screen. Silky smooth gameplay and i love this badboy. Note i also own the SteamDeck as well and love it just as much. Kudos

    More powerful than the steam deck but can be a little finicky to get working 100% as this is essentially a windows 11 tablet. Definitely add a micro SD card or replace the internal SSD because there is not enough storage.

    Great device for its age. Don’t purchase those one if your looking. Spend the extra money on the rog ally x. This one would be great if it was cheaper. I did have two issues with the motherboard and now it was returned for exchange but geek squad made it very easy process.

    After unboxing day one, it was a must to update everything in Armoury crate, myasus, windows store, and windows update. After that long process everything is working great for me regardless of game launcher.

    Ive owned a desktop or laptop for gaming dor the last 2 decades, this thing is absolutely worth the money. Takes a little tinkering to get it right, but if tou know your way around windows its not too bad. I use this more than I imagined

    I had bought this a couple of weeks ago and so far I really enjoy using the Rog ally. The speed is pretty good and graphics card is also good as well, but it does takes some time getting used to Armoury Crate.
