Amazing handheld.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its got a 1080p VRR screen and it has the Z1 Extreme APU. It does whatever you want, you want AAA games? Change it to 720p or use the 900p mod thats looks just like 1080p but can run games faster. Ive had it since release and i love it.

Not a steam deck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.But for all you tinkerers this is pretty fun. You can jame a 2280 SSD into it. Not sure on the thermals but with a little cutting it fits. It is buggy out of the box so I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, but I have personally enjoyed playing with it

Great Performance, significant issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being aware of the SD Card issue I was cautious with the fan curves and keeping an eye on temperatures. I played in the high 60s low 70s deg with aggressive fan curves. Still it cooked my SD card. Granted I can just upgrade the NVME, ignore the sd card port and move on. Acceptable if this was some cheap device, which is not. Is a pricey handheld with significant flaws and to my knowledge this has not been officially resolved. Unfortunate as I truly enjoy using the Ally.

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing and fun unit. I find the tinkering and setting up aspect more fun than actually playing games. I've had zero issues with my Ally outside of things dealing with software updates. If you're reading reviews on the Ally, just get it!

First handheld
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.And it is a blast... Plays everything i throw at it... If you know windows and are comfortable with that operating system, this is your handheld... If Windows is a big confusing thing to you, a stream deck may be a better choice and more console like...

Better then SteamDeck!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a steamdeck prior to purchasing the Ally. I really enjoyed my steamdeck, but i decided to try this out and fell in love. I was easily able to access my xbox and ps account without issue. All in all this is a fantastic handheld device!!
I would recommend this to a friend Got it 3 days before it cameout somehow, amazing!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it for emulation and diablo 4 in bed. Does exactly what it supposed to do. Yeah windows is a little janky to set up, but jf you play pc long enough you will get used to it real quick. Unlimited potential with external graphics card. Simply in love

Versatile Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great power in a small package. I’ve been playing Starfield on it with no issues. Connects easily with Bluetooth to Apple AirPods. Im thinking about using it for Rosetta Stone when traveling. It is a PC after all.

Great Device if you're Willing To Put In The Work

I would recommend this to a friend Very satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is what every man needs. You can watch movie's, sports or play games. I would recommend this to anyone who wants the PC games or Xbox without a PC price. Its very comfortable in your hands and full touchscreen support as well as bluetooth K&M support you can even use your XB or PS5 controller with it.

Great system
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great handheld!! Was looking for a windows based handheld gaming console.. love the way it feels, easy to hold. The only draw back is the battery life. If you plan on playing for long periods make sure your plugged into an outlet or external battery.
