    Handheld PC; Gaming on it is great, very convenient and if you’re just trying to unwind after a whole day of work and not enough time to actually sit down in front of the setup. Very responsive; I’ve used it as a regular pc, connected on a display & m+kb, and it works great.

    SD Card issue for experienced PC user

    I have been PC gaming for a long while, I have a few ASUS computers under my belt. That being said, I have experienced an unusual SD card issue with this device. I use reputable brand cards in all my devices, I update and care for my computers. My sd card began to fail, slowing down file explorer to a crawl, not letting me use task manager, and not letting me do a system shut down, All issues went away when the card was removed. I placed the card in a 360 camera, drone, and another computer. The card was still functional, in fact it was still functional with the ally via an external USB C sd card reader. The Ally sd card slot was also still functional with a 2nd card I purchased, and a few old cards I had laying round. But I discontinued use out of caution. Other than that, this device and its possibilities are outstanding. To be able to play PC games on the go in a handheld formfactor, and also to dock and play in a desktop type setup is amazing. It can also play PCVR Titles,

    A hand held PC ready to be personalized and optimized. Can run in variable watts and will perform better than a switch or steam deck performance wise. Battery consumption not so much. Runs on windows 11, steam and Microsoft store come installed, other launchers readily available. 3 months of gamepass. Switched out the internal m.2 for a 2tb, micro SD cards ported on fan cooled vented dock with mouse and keyboard attached and a portable display on the way Overall a nifty gadget.

    I did about a week worth of research every day i got off work everywhere from reviews to teardowns to ssd upgrades to what game are compatiable. I was thinking the steam deck but this opens up a world to play any game the steam deck but better and a lot more game options. Im not limited to steam only i can play any game u can put on a gaming pc i did purchase a 1tb ssd for this bad boy althoigh with cloud gaming available now i diddnt really need that mich extra memore the 512gb is plenty. This thing is a beast

    I have owned this device for almost 2 years. I got it on launch day! This has been my gaming PC for a year until I got my own laptop. I still use this handheld a a lot. I game in the couch, bed, and plane. I even bought this to Japan so I could still play Valorant (150FPS - Set to Low Quality) during my trip. Controllers are still great, no stick drift or whatsoever. I haven't had problems with the fans either. Windows is more convenient for me after all even in handhelds when it comes to gaming. There is the new Ally X, but I'll stick to this one until the next generation comes. Wish they released this one with the black version too just like the Ally X.

    As stated this bad boy can play pretty much every game better with higher details than the steam deck PLUS it has native windows, which for me i pefer to linux on the steam deck. However i personally wish that it had 4 paddles on the back like the steam deck but i think im in a minority on that cuz the face buttons are more than good enough im just spoiled from the xbox elite controller. Overall i love the ally and i bring it everywhere and it has pretty much replaced my steam deck and inthink its worth the price diffrence to me.

    I was going to get a steam deck but then I heard this was coming out and I’ve been researching both of these for a little while and then I saw it in person available for display. I was concerned about the comfort so I tried it out and I loved it and the fact that it’s a Windows 11 machine makes it to where gaming is limitless. I don’t see how people are complaining so much to be honest if you want something done right spend a little bit of time setting it up and properly updating it. This is by far the best portable I currently own for gaming

    I love how easy it is able to be used! Even though it's running Windows 11, it's like a compact version of it and Asus put their software on there to help better the experience with your games! Once you understand how everything works, it's a remarkable experience! Playing games wherever you like is amazing! The only downside to it is the battery life when gaming. It does die quicker without being on the plug, but its understandable since it's like a gaming PC. Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase.

    Love the rog! It was easy set up for me. Im only using the Rog for gaming. I love the gaming hub. All my gaming apps and games in a single area is handy! Wish the battery lasted longer but im usually on my couch so i can have it plugged in. Definitely recommended!

    Heard some units were faulty but mine came out perfect. Playing COD feels amazing , this also works with Nreal airs , if anyone wants to know. Device works very well, been watching videos and was thinking it would be a buggy mess but nope , flawless. I have both steam deck and Ally. Steam deck is awesome , games play very well if compatible, feels like a console, just can’t play some games like COD or any game with anti cheat. Ally can play everything , it’s a windows pc just in your hands with controller support. Hand held are the future 100%

    It is a pretty awesome system. Basically like having a series x or pc in your hand. The best part is not constrained to your home when you want game. So far I have taken it to an auto shop and had to wait while they fixed my car, that would have been boring without an ally. I also have a nice setup at work to make downtime more enjoyable. 10 out 10 reccomend. I will say there were some hiccups here and there , but nothing that wants me to make a return. I also never used my sd card slot in case you was wondering.

    Overall it runs games on steam and other platforms but the integration with windows makes it a little confusing to use. I ran into problems where games didn't recognize the "controller" and thought I was playing on PC which made it impossible to play. Specifically this happened on Overwatch. After tweaking the settings I was impressed to see almost 120 FPS when playing games like Rocket League and Apex. If you want to keep getting high performance like 120 FPS I recommend staying close to an outlet. You will only get about 40 min on maxed out settings (as expected). There are some cool features like a finger print scanner so you don't have to use your Microsoft Account Pin every time. This leads me to my last point; you will need a Microsoft account if you don't have one already. I am sure Gamepass will work great on this unit (Unfortunately I was unable to test this) I think this unit has tremendous opportunity for growth. I might be giving the Asus Ally a 3 out of 5 right now but in 6 months that could easily change. I haven't reviewed the Steam Deck yet but follow Battle Vision Gaming on TikTok for more reviews.
