I would recommend this to a friendToo many issues; returned.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upon turning on the Rog Ally, I experienced SO many issues with it. The screen was stuck on the "connect to a network", wouldn't display any of my networks, and the onscreen keyboard wouldn't show up. I tried restarting the device; didn't help resolve the situation. I tried to get the keyboard to pop up by hitting the M1 + ArrowUp bottom; that didn't work. I ended up having to connect a USB wifi adapter and keyboard to the Rog Ally to setup the internet. After going through the whole ordeal of updating everything, I learned that the RB doesn't work. Too many issues for a $700 device; not worth keeping.
