Decent gaming machine on the go
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.On sale price is well worth it. I have over 100 hours on palworld through the device. The trick is to load the AMD Fluid drivers and you will see frame rates above 80 at 720p. Plug it into a TV with a dock and pair an xbox controller and now you have a console.

Worth a shot
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is some software issues that can make it trouble some when running steam. But overall this is a good hand held device and is definitely leading in its field. It’s definitely worth a buy when it’s on sale but I would not pay full msrp for it. I do like how you can put more memory in it via micro sd and how you can adjust the lights on the anaglogs. You can adjust the color as well. This was purchased for my wife not me. She loves it.

Very good product, albeit expensive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good product for my son, he loves that it's compatible with steam, epic, and Xbox games. Runs well. Main reduction in star is due to battery life which is limited but we don't take it out of the house normally so a charger is usually nearby

Great handheld, all the options
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While I am not a windows or microsoft fan, I've been able to appreciate this device. I have EmuDeck installed and steam and a bunch of ROMS, the experience is great. Playing Xbox games it performs very well. I bought a dock to hook up to my TV as well and use wireless bluetooth remotes for a great console experience. Keep an eye out for sales. My only complaint is that long hours of play as a handheld is uncomfortable not on fingers, but the bottom of my palms, as they wrap around what are rather "sharp" corners on bottom of device.

Absolutly amazing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in a huge debate for this product or a steam deck. my really good buddy has a steam deck so I decided to buy the ROG Ally so we could compare and come to find out the ally does significantly more than the steam deck. Would 100% buy again for this price

Great hand held
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing has been great for travelling. I immediately replaced the memory in it since that was the primary issue with it and have had no issues. Get's good internet speed, upgrading the memory is extremely easy. It isn't great for high intensity games, but definitely gets the job done and can manage.

Good device terrible memory.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well I broke mine today because It made me rage. While it was working it's a pretty good handheld PC pretty much. Had some trouble playing some high end games. Screen was great for movies and videos and such. Only real issue is the memory, 512 GB can't do much with that after maybe 2 games and streaming apps installed and the countless updates this thing needs once you start it. Tried to upgrading the memory and it got stuck on the bios menu and wouldn't let me do any changes or even leave the bios so it had to die. Maybe it'll work great for others but I wasted 400 bucks and probably have to buy a new one.

Asus Rog Ally Z1
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this handheld console after reading and watching many reviews. Initially, there were a lot of complaints, but with the updates from Asus and setting up device correctly, it runs great. While not as powerful as the Z1 Extreme, it plays the games that I use quite nicely

My thoughts
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently bought this to have more options of what to game with when I'm away from home. I think this thing is great for that. I got to play halo and even tried out Helldiver's 2 on it with not a lot of complaints.

I love it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Variety of gaming options with the steam app and xbox gaming. Super fast depending on the mode you set it in. Battery life varies with the haming modes as well. But a fun and cool option for gamers who want the pc haming experience on the go.

Best Price on the internet.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's the handheld that performs like a desktop. I was worried about getting the Z1 vs the Z1 Extreme, but I have been pleasently surprised. While I am not a serious gamer, I can play all my titles without bottlenecks including AFOP.

So close yet so far away.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on sale for $400.00 usd and still returned mine. After two days of updates and optimizing and deleting bloat and so on i was able to finally download games i transferred them to sd card and they starting deleting themselves had to redownload everything game wise and deleted again. The sd card and 1 hour battery time was a kill for me a little laggy at times. Otherwise it holds nicley in hands and forza looked and played immaculate! Looks sleek as well i showed it off why i had it. The sd card issues were my main NO. Switched to lenovo legion 5 slim oled and i dont have a single regret.

Asus ROG Ally non-Extreme
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an amazing device. For the price you will not find a better windows based computer. Runs most every game I have thrown at it. For this price just get one. I was so impressed hours after getting it that I bought another for my son.
