Battery could be better, but with the correct tweaking this handheld is a beast, while keeping the thermals great and the battery lasting between 1:30-2:30

This is a basically a gaming laptop. If you want a plug and play experience, just buy a Switch or Steam deck. I think Asus delivered great everything they promised about this product. I love this, and am so glad I sold my Steam deck to buy this.

Works great as a ps4 handheld. Hard to play really big games but overall works great.

This Christmas present was a MAJOR hit for my guy. He’s incredibly picky with his tech and he LOVES this. He said Diablo 4 runs better on this than on his Xbox and has already gotten two more games.

Best handheld I ever had. Graphics are great. Fans are noticeable when its running warm but I run on turbo speed.

Amazing. Just get it. Period. It’s a gaming laptop with a controller built in. Every game is 60+ fps. Diablo 4, Flight Simulator, Need for Speed, Final Fantasy, Destiny 2, all 60+ fps.

This is a small factor gaming computer! It works great so far and it is comfortable on the couch with it plugged in to use the turbo mode it looks great! Plays Diablo iv great in turbo.

I was unsure for weeks on if i should settle for a steam deck or splurge on the ally, if you want a great handheld with no limitations, buy the ally! I absolutely love this machine. Great graphics, high fps on every game ive thrown at it.

Great replacement for my steam deck, windows is not as bad as they say works pretty smooth & very easy to use. This console feels quality built.

I preordered and couldn't wait to get it. I love being able to do so many things on it at once. I've bought all the accesories for it and I use it like a pc. Do yourself a favor and get one. You won't regret it.

Hmmm, I'm surprised at myself. Using it more then my steam deck currently. I kinda impulse bought this. But it is a perfect alternative if you don't want to do the extra steps to get the other game clients running on the stream deck.

I love this device. I've owned a bunch of handheld pc's and this one by far is the best. I do wish that i could connect a regular egpu to it instead of a proprietary connector for their specific egpu, but other than that i have no complaints!

As a current owner of the 512gb steam deck i can honestly say that the ally is so much better unless you are not familiar with windows on a pc. The only thing i miss is the track pads other than that the ally is better in every single way.

I knew when I got the Ally that I'd have a couple hours of setup time. Updates, ensuring I had all the necessary drivers, getting rid of Office, etc. That was fine. After day 1, I had almost two full days of being able to use it without incident. Then the updates started and it seems like they never. let. up. I keep it by the bed to play if I can't sleep. I turn it on...plug me in so I can flash the bios. Really? That's necessary? I try another night. Windows has updated. Restarting. I use it when I work out, plugged into a dock. 2 out of the 5 times I tried to use it, major updates that took 20 + minutes. It's freakin' annoying. Yes, I could probably turn down the frequency, but honestly, they ARE necessary updates by and large. But it would be nice if they slowed their roll on how often they come out. When you're not staring at an update screen, it works great. Plays Cyberpunk well on battery. I've had fun with it. But those updates...and the fact you have to be plugged in for them...it's JUST about a deal breaker.

The ROG Ally is a perfect option for PC gamers, for people who want a powerful handheld gaming pc Rog Ally Z1 has big performance

Amazing device, if you are comfortable in a windows environment this is the creme de la creme of handhelds. It can be a bit fussy navigating windows with a touch screen but if that's something you can handle I can't recommend this enough.

Great device, the specs far outmatch the competition for the price, but SD card issues abound and mine has completely stopped working. This is something acknowledged by ASUS.

Really the biggest problem it’s battery life for me

This is exactly what the video game market needed. Powerful, affordable, and game changing. This Ally is great. Now, i won’t nitpick. It’s a first generation device. It won’t be perfect. But people complain just because they love To complain.

Excellent on-the-go gaming. This is a fantastic platform for those who want the full windows gaming experience.
