Awesome value for what it costs. Being able to play basically all P.C. games while being mobile is great. It powerful on its own for mobile play and then you also have the option for an eGPU when at home and want more power.

Love using it when im on a plane and traveling. Perfect for just lounging around any where at home too. I would recommend a battery pack for extended use when no power is available near by. Plays Lies of P, Sekiro, Nier Automato, but best for metroidvainas and similar arcade style games.

A great choice to have PC gaming at an affordable price. More expensive than a console? Yes, but it has more versatility. I don't even use it as a handheld 98% of the time and it plays most games at a high or even ultra graphics settings no problem. I highly recommend, the only downside would be needing to have some knowledge of how Windows PCs work and being able to adjust settings as needed to get some things too run right (usually old games) A minor inconvenience in my opinion.

It's exactly what I wanted, a customizable handheld gaming pc. Play 99% percent of games like a dream. The only downside is the battery life but that's to be expected for a powerful device. All in all a solid purchase Pros: -plays every from the atari to ps5 and everything in-between -no worry about steam games being compatible or not because everything works on ally because of windows -cool looking device, i love holding it Cons: - battery life, the more intense the game(like cyberpunk or spiderman) the faster the battery will drain. But asus have different performances modes to manage power consumption. - initial set up can be a pain but that just windows in general lol

I purchased the Asus ROG Ally from Best Buy last year, and it's exceeded my expectations. This compact powerhouse handles everything I throw at it, playing all the games I usually run on my gaming rig without missing a beat. The portability is fantastic for on-the-go gaming, and the performance is top-notch. I'm thoroughly satisfied with it and would highly recommend it to any gamer looking for a mobile gaming solution!

Love this thing. Plays just about anything on Steam. The battery life is horrendous but I knew that going in. If you are close to a power outlet this is great. Don't expect to go on a long road trip and play AAA games for hours. If your expectations are realistic then you will love it. As always do your homework! This is pricey , read reviews , watch video reviews , make an informed choice!

Currently own the 3 major branded PC handhelds on the market at the moment and I always end up reaching for my Ally as I enjoy it the most. The VRR 120hz display is great for multiplayer games that fluctuate fps around 50fps, the speakers blow everything else out the water, and the power on battery and even when plugged in is great for such a small device. My only downside is the ergonomics, which could be changed with a case; and the inevitable SD card reader issue, which I just avoided completely and upgraded to 2tb nvme. This device has been such a brilliant way to take my steam/ gog library on the go with me.

Beautiful design,strong performance,short battery around an hour,setup issues take some time for new machine,storage only 512 not really enough for me,micro sd not work properly!I will give 8/10 marks for this machined overall.

Never even knew about this device until I saw it on youtube. I was thinking about getting the steam deck but this works better for me since I have xbox game pass and other pc games. Easy to set up. I have no problems with the SD card or overheating, it has not let me down so far, the screen is nice and sharp and the speakers are great. The only problem is the battery last for about an hour so to play longer you will have to keep it plug in. If you take it somewhere you'll need a power bank. One hour is just not enough to play on this device. Specially those hard to put down games.

Best purchase ever! Plays most games at medium settings 1080p but with amd up scaling you can boost the performance even more. Feels alot like a miniature computer more than a handheld. Fair warning battery life is not amazing. While playing a game like Elden ring I average 45-50 minutes before needing to plug the console back in.

I love this tiny computer! I’m an avid horror game player and I’ve played through RE7 and RE8 with no issues. The only thing I can complain about is the battery life. The battery life is only about 2 hours so not that great for long road trips but good for lounging on the couch and breaks at work.

Best handheld gaming experience I’ve had. The Ally runs all my games and the screen is absolutely amazing. Something you really have to see to believe. Battery life could be better, but I’m never too far from an outlet to charge up!

I played Jedi Survivor almost entirely on this handheld. It is an absolute beast. I played it directly from the handheld as well as streaming it from my primary gaming desktop. This device is intended to play most AAA games at 720p with low settings so don't be expecting to run things any higher. If you stream from your powerful gaming PC, you can use the 1080p and 120hz mode which is phenomenal. The only bad thing about this is the battery life. It is horrible when playing demanding titles. I would highly recommend having a case and large battery bank with it when you travel.

My boyfriend has been in need of a handheld gaming system for a while, and we almost went with a steamdeck untill this caought our eye. Its amazing! Its a pc in a handheld device! No more nights with the tv on! He plugs his headphones in and can play for hours, and i can get a great nights sleep. Even better is we went on a road trip for a week and it still worked smoothly and had no issues, its literally the best gift i think i couldve gotten for him. He rants and raves about it to everyone that will listen, and is constantly running to tell me some new thing he found out it could do. Best purchase for sure

Overall, great device. It just came out a little too quickly. I have this, a steam deck, and a legion go. Between the three, I use the go more then the steam deck. Screen is great looking just small for me. I do dock mine a lot to the tv and it pretty much stays there. Nice little mini pc that if I wanted to I could pick up and go. Battery life on a graphically hardened game was avg maybe 2 hours. Buttons feel too mushy for my liking. In the end, its a great budget friendly mini pc/portable gaming device.

great piece of hardware that isn't without it's problems. First off, I really enjoy using this hand held pc. the controls are intuitive and responsive. it's a windows pc so you get all the pros and cons that go with that. the main issues i've had: 1. windows disables the gpu and you need to manually reenable 2. battery life isn't great, but for what it is it's respectable. get a battery bank if you're traveling a while. 3. some hardware issues like the sd card problem and stick drift aren't fixed yet months after launch. It's not a huge problem for me but definitely a larger complaint from others.

Love my ROG ally. As an older guy the screen is a bit small for me, but I found that using it like a portable game system and connecting it to tv or monitor is awesome. Just as powerful as a notebook but more compact.

This thing has given me the chance to not be stuck at my desk. I enjoy gaming on the go as well as streaming to my PC. Battery life is meh when hardcore gaming but I’m usually next to a plug or play plugged in. Haven’t had issues with the buttons getting stuck like some other people. I travel a lot for work and this thing has saved my sanity during downtime. No sd card to comment on but I also have this hooked up to my storage server at home so I have my entire game library at the ready. Do plan to upgrade storage on it anyways. If you go into the knowing it’s a handheld gaming PC that can deliver a good time but not crazy with graphics, you’ll enjoy this as much as I have. Haven’t put it down since I got it.

This IS the one to get! Got mine on December 2023 so never experienced any of the initial software glitches. It is Fantastic! 1. 3 months of GamePass. Sooo many games included, just amazing value. Plus ALL Steam games work here. Plus Epic/Fortnite, Plus, Plus 2. Screen is beautiful, on a handheld 1080P is like 4K! great contrast, nice size. 3. Everything is fast, NVME SSD is super fast 4K+ reads 2K writes. 4. Looks great and light to hold. Battery life is less than STEAM DECK OLED. But you have a lot of flexibility on how you use your battery life. Plus you can just get a $50.00 battery to carry around with you if needed (most are close to a 110 outlet most of the time)

The ROG Ally is a great handheld gaming PC! It launched rough but got better later. It's not a seamless of an experience as a Steam Deck, there is a lot of tinkering you have to do with controller settings, especially if the game isn't already controller-supported. That said, it can run more games than a Steam Deck since it uses Windows as its OS; the drawback is that it's a desktop version, and it's kind of a pain to navigate with the UI as a result-- thankfully I spend most of my time in Steam's Big Picture Mode. If you're on the fence, wait for a sale, or look for an open box/used one, but if you can deal with the caveats it's 100% worth it!
