Beast of a machine.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The asus rog ally is a beast but not perfect. Yes, many software updates before you can play it but its worth it. Tiny but powerful after some tweaking which i enjoy.

Totally recommend
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life could be better, but there’s nothing better than putting your kids to bed while playing Elden Ring.

Great option for handheld gaming
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For me, its better than the steam deck by miles. Plays any game at 1080p and the FPS is solid for heavy games. Only complaint is the battery life but it charges pretty fast.

Okay
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as expected. Okayiah battery screen is great. Would love a mini pc version. No screen no gamepad. Just a plug into hdmi device with a few usb ports and a usbc power. Would be amazing z1extream box. My own keyboard moue and external display would be inlove. And think of how much lower the price would be!!

Surpasses expectations!

Stopped Reading my Micro SD Card
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ally is able to play the games I normally play on my PC, just need to lower the video quality to lowest to make them playable. Feels good to hold and the device is quiet when playing games, even in turbo mode. I gave it a 3 start because it stopped reading my micro SD card after less than 2 weeks of use. I wasn’t using this device that often. This is frustrating because this is practically new.
