Great device!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plays great compared to Steam Deck, for a reasonable price. Sure, it has some issues here and there out of the box, but nothing that cannot be solved with a simple Windows update and other software updates. Plays all my games smoothly. Would definitely recommend!

Best handheld to date
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s basically a laptop in the shape of a gaming handheld. I love this thing. It literally has no limits besides maybe the battery life lol

Pull the trigger
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a few months I can confidently say I prefer this to a Steam Deck and if you're on the fence about which one to get go for the Ally. The Steam Decks ONLY plus side is the longer battery life but that's because it's slower
I would recommend this to a friend For the price its a good deal.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Kept resetting when playing games on the sd card, and a lot of stuff they need to iron out with updates, Other than that was a good experience. Will purchase again once everything is ironed out.
I would recommend this to a friendGood but not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fixed Joysticks: Removable joysticks are a fantastic feature like the Nintendo Switch and Lenovo Legion Go. Their tablet mode allows for more subtle use of the device. I rather pull out a tablet on the bus than look like a 3rd grader whipping out a Sega Game Gear and juicebox. Their absence in the Ally is a missed opportunity.

I like it better than the deck
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it. I have the steam deck as well and I prefer the ROG ally. It is lighter seems easier to use and it has windows right there so I can sync it with my laptop fairly easily. I feel like you can do more easier with the ROG Ally vs the steam deck.

Not for everyone
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this because it was displayed as the bigger one (more battery and better processor) but got the older one. Then cashier signed me up for a credit card and explained it to me it was like klarna ( or one of the others) got it home was excited to play it (on the go) and found out you have about a hour of gameplay and it’s basically dead… only way to play it is to be plugged in all the time and with the cord it comes with not any other because it’s too slow of a charger. Returned it before 7 days was stuck with credit card.

You'll make a good choice anyways.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome device. It has it's hardware flaws but it is also very flexible being the closest thing to a native windows pc. Would recommend over steam deck initial release. But definitely no need to worry about performance.

Excellent Steam Deck Alternative
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re looking for a device to handle practically any game you throw at it, this is it. The Armory crate software also makes it feel more console like and easy to use. This is the best windows handheld out there, and a solid alternative to the steam deck.

Wpuld recommend
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its great for gaming. Battery drains pretty fast but charges pretty quickly as well. Only complaint is its a pain to tey and use for applications that imvolve typing are a pain becsuse the touch screen takes up half of the screen itself

Impressive performace is a quiet package
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The display is excellent. Without a screen protector the reflection is hard to see. Even when fully loaded and cooling is at a macimum the fans are quiet enough that you don't notice the noise. In CPUz it benchmarks similar to my 3900x, which is amazing.
