Exciting at first but…
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A handheld gaming PC what a dream right! Well it started off good with high expectations played the games I wanted it to play like Diablo 4, RainbowSix & pretty much any Steam game. However Ive recently been having charging/power issues, sometimes wont recognize when I plug it in which is worrying. It doesn get pretty hot too, Ill have to keep an eye on it.

Right now it's a wreck, for advanced users only
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Firstly, there are major widespread issues with devices, ranging from several thumb stick issues to display problems to devices being simply broken on arrival. The software that Asus has rolled out badly needs a revamp, also, so even when you have a good device you will be fighting it half the time. When it's working well it's gorgeous and fast, so we'll see how it fares once software fixes roll out. One can only hope that Asus will change the manufacturing process, or defective devices will make the newcomer dead in the water. If you simply want your handheld to work from the start, there are more affordable and stable platforms to play with. Also, if you aren't at least kind of a techie, then steer clear. You'll need to know your way around windows to even get up and running.

I would recommend this to a friend Best of its kind
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, I was talked into buying this over a Nintendo switch OLED by my Manager at my job. I have never been more impressed by a gaming console! The processor is strong enough to run heavy games at high frame rate as smooth as a freshly shaved head. I fell in love with it as soon as it lit up in my hands. I’ve seen the competitors and this is by far the best of its kind to date. Highly recommend especially when you pair it with a dock to connect it up to your monitor or tv.

I would recommend this to a friend Embracing Freedom: The Asus Ally
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Asus Ally has become my go-to device ever since I transitioned from my gaming desktop to the Steam Deck for gaming. I absolutely adore it! The handheld gaming experience provided by the Ally and Steam Deck fulfills the inner child in me. There's something irresistible about the freedom to play games anywhere, anytime—it's simply top-notch. While I still keep my desktop for more demanding titles like Star Citizen, most of the time, you'll find me immersed in gaming on the Ally.
