I played every day I like it. I can use it for discord to talk to my sister who lives in Texas and play Xbox and steam

THE BEST HANDHELD HANDS DOWN. Especially paired with XG Rog Mobile. I can not stress enough that this is better than a steam deck. This is pretty much win11 w/ steam deck abilities, and more freedom to do whatever because its a handheld windows pc. If you do end up getting this product I highly recommend a mobile gpu. The handheld can handle all AAA games, at about 30-40 fps @ 30watts, and this is with ultra graphic setting! very comparable to playing ps4 back in the day on the tv! I use this because I travel a lot, a lot of travel work! You can also expand the storage!

Works very well with the windows games I have that can't be played on Steam Deck (ie. Overwatch 2 & Gundam Battle Operations 2). My only negative is the SDcard reader flaw that se3ms to be happening to practically everyone. Tried Sandisk and Samsung 512gb and they both stopped. Popped them in my laptop and was reading fine. It's a flaw within the ROG Ally software. If they get that fixed, I'll give it 5 stars. Until then... I'll just have to have everything on the SSD!

This is my first handheld computer and I’m still trying to figure it out but so far I love it…. The battery life sucks but there are ways around that like keeping it on the charger while playing it and keeping the graphics & brightness low but if you’re looking for something interesting to play Xbox games before the hand held Xbox comes out I highly recommend this!

Great device! Plays every game I've tried on high settings well, just wish it had better battery life.

As a newbie to computers, this was very intuitive. Very powerful device. I take it everywhere, best purchase in a long time

Great performance and a sleek design. The user interface could be better designed to help streamline useage to newcomers of windows based devices. The software/firmware/bios could always be updated to help alleviate the aforementioned issues and battery life concerns. The controller aspect of the handheld hasn’t given me any issues and the 1080p screen is perfect for the size of the device. Overall I am happy with the product and as long as Asus keeps providing new updates.

This is coming out after the steam deck obviously I've had the steam deck for quite some time installed a one terabyte drive in it and for all the games I've played mostly racing games The Experience on the steam deck was much better because it's easier to hold for larger hands I'm 6'1 by the way the joysticks are bigger than on the Rog Ally the joysticks on the Rog Ally are more like the switch joycons and they're really loose no point where they snap back to the middle but there's just no tension so fine movements are tough the positives you can play more games potentially if that's what you want but I don't see people playing competitive shooters with these controls anyway and more positive for it the dual fan design is definitely better than the steam deck single fan because even when it's audible it's barely Audible and it keeps pretty cool but if you crank up the performance all the way your battery will be dead in minutes so realistically you need it set to 15 watts and use the screen a little bit dimmer vrr is nice on the screen makes it really Snappy plus the refresh rate being 120 but it just seems Overkill because you're not really going to hit that with those games on battery standby mode is not great battery dies quite quickly losing 10%, in a matter of an hour and a half all of that being said maybe by the time the cheaper version of the Rog Ally comes out it be a better option but right now I will get the cheapest steam deck and put a one or two terabyte SSD in it takes 5 minutes plus 10 to reinstall the OS valve makes it really easy I really wanted to like the Rog Ally it's just not ready yet Windows is not great handheld and the screen resolution windows with the keyboard is tough and it just has angles for me that are not comfortable with asymmetrical joysticks as an update it downloaded and installed a new firmware and now my buttons don't work when they were working fine before the next Rog Ally may be great but the first attempt it's not there yet

Great proud to work in perfect condition super fast and efficient service very happy with my purchase

One of the best purchases I ever made. I still play with my Rog Ally. I didn't upgrade to the Rog Ally X because it's not worth it. I'll wait until something else better releases.

I bought this hand-held gaming machine after some research I'd made online. I had a couple more options on my mind, but when I visited the store to experience the display product, I decided that this was what I wanted and needed. Ordered online and picked it up in store in only 30 minutes! If you want this machine for gaming needs mainly, definitely get the Z1 Extreme model! I love my ROG Ally since day one! Thanks BestBuy for the $100 discount.

I love this device. I can take it on the go while traveling and not miss a beat. Performance is great on this little device. Its only knock would be the battery life.

Awesome personal pc, great performance but battery life is limited if you run it pass 20w, plays all the latest games like Diablo 4, COD, and Cyberpunk.

The ROG Ally is fantastic for playing so many games from different launcher platforms and it’s so versatile compared to other handhelds like the steam deck, but it has a few cons. 1) Updating the Ally’s software via MyASUS app. Updating the Ally relies on The MyASUS which sucks for me because the MyASUS app would launch blank white every time which is super inconvenient. 2) Unable to play a few certain games like Spider-Man Remastered on steam for example, every time I launch the game there would be a couple error windows popped up saying “Display driver error” or “GPU needs to be updated” I’m not sure if it’s just me or if it’s unable to recognize that it’s running of an APU (CPU and GPU hybrid)???????? 3) The SD card reader transfers at EXTREMELY slow speeds no matter how good your WiFi connection is. No matter what I could never get more than 10MBps when downloading anything but I’m sure that’s already been addressed by ASUS. 4) The Armoury Crate SE app. For me im not really sure what it’s for other than to quick launch apps and games and configure limited amount of things, but I wish you can update the handheld’s software on this app other than a separate app like the MyASUS app. As I mentioned before, the ROG Ally is great but it needs some fixes and tweaks.

Got rhis today for Christmas from my Wife. Absolutely amazing, pairs well with my Asus gaming laptop. From the moment I turned it on and set it up they were integrated with each other, super easy setup and super cool to play games on. I would recommend this to everyone.

Where battery capacity maybe lacking, this more than makes up for it with the sure power and performance it is capable of doing. If you know what Star Citizen is then you should understand how ridiculous it is that this can run it with no tweaking and at 30+fps. Steam Deck can't do that. The windows 11 OS is actually really convenient for something of this size and the amount of accessories available make this into a potential "whatever you want it to be" machine. Runs better than my work laptop

This thing runs flawlessly, and allows me to play anywhere. I love the comfort of handheld gaming with the power of PC gaming, even handled Skyrim with over 1000 mods! Hands down the best purchase ever.

I love this device. It has enough power to play a game on turbo mode for about an hour. It’s just like a regular windows computer with a touch screen and controller built in. You can also use the right thumbstick sort of like a mouse. The rear paddle buttons are nice. It’s great for farming things casually in World of Warcraft when combined with a wireless mouse. It’s important to do all of the updates for it though, they fix a lot of problems.

Absolutely awesome!!! I have so many games on PC and the Ally has allowed me to take them with me anywhere I go! I play it a lot in hand held, but in my backpack, I have a keyboard, mouse, dock, Xbox controller and HDMI so that when I’m going somewhere I’m going to be stationary (like a hotel or to stay with family) it’s like taking my whole pc in a backpack, that can be unplugged and go to the recliner with me for handheld gaming! I’m in love with this thing!

I own a gaming laptop but never got around to completing any games however since owning the ally Z1 Extreme I've completed lots of games so far. It's just so much easier to game on the ally. I olay 80% of the times plugged in because outlets are literally everywhere these days so battery life isn't a problem. I honestly dont mind not being able to use the sd card slot though it would've been a nice plus. Great overall device. I would definitely recommend buying one.
