Amazing console
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product! It works as a small but powerful PC. It's boring to stay in front of the monitor to play games. ROG Ally is the best product in the market. I enjoy playing using it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Heat dissipation
PC to go...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A really portable PC only problem is that it get really hot. But is more for a shooter game. RTS games play nice like StarCraft 2

Rog Ally and Sony PSP wishes
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The thing is an absolute powerhouse, I'm able to run anything I want with pretty decent graphics, it really makes me want Sony to release a actual PSP in the form of a handheld like this.

Rog ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome. My sd cards work. Pretty much a windows machine with controller. Ssd can be upgraded and some people have had problems with their sd cards so beware and do more research to see if it works for you
I would recommend this to a friend Powerful little unit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easily worth the price tag, if you're looking for a great way to play PC games on the go, or if you're like me and you enjoy emulation, this is the way to go, it has just the right processing power, and you can customize it
I would recommend this to a friendIt's Okay
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device basically works. The pro of having windows is also the main issue with it. A lot of the issues i have are due to the fact that I don't want to tinker with the device in order to get my games running well. I also don't like touching the screen, which is absolutely necessary unless you have a keyboard and mouse connected. I suppose I was looking for an experience similar to the Steam Deck. The Ally isn't near as user friendly, and for a device that runs windows, it's really cumbersome to operate with joysticks and buttons. My biggest complaint though is the VRR. For a device that has a 120hz screen and VRR, the implementation is awful. Your games will stutter if the framerate drops below 90fps even with VRR enabled. It's really unfortunate, and I haven't heard anyone else address this issue, but it's there. I really hope ASUS continues to update the device, because it does have potential. It just feels unfinished right now. Couple that with the difficulty of using windows with a touchscreen and controller, and it's not a pleasant experience. However, if you don't mind fiddling with it, you'll probably love it. It is powerful, and not constrained by Steam OS, so a fair amount of games I've wanted to play on the Deck but couldn't, are fully playable on the Ally. If they would fix the VRR if possible, that would be great. That and the framerate limiter which at the time of this review still doesn't work properly.

The Ally Rocks
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ally has been absolutely fantastic, and aside from windows issues has bed without problems. The internal memory is sufficient for a few AAA games and plenty more. It runs Dying Light 2 with no issues.

Great for handheld but power is oof
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the specs on this are amazing and I do enjoy gaming in it but the technology is not there for battery life. It almost negates the idea of being handheld. Only con but it is a big one.

Asus is good
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great but gets hot everytime you play for an extended time
I would recommend this to a friend Way better than I thought
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROG Ally has surpassed every expectation. This is everything I hoped the switch would be. The hardware is exceptional. It is quiet and cool when gaming. There are tons of options to tweak the settings to your liking. It runs windows 11 which is mostly ok. Not a perfect pairing, but with a little tweaking, this becomes mostly a non issue. Asus armory crate is better than I thought it would be. Steam big picture, Xbox game pass, battlenet all run really well. I’ve used this as a pc with a usb c dock as well. Connecting a mouse, keyboard and monitor was very easy. This worked really well and just worked.
