Great at sales price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this when on sale for $399 and I think it is worth it at that price. Performs better than my expectation, especially with the VRR display and FSR for upscaling. This makes it able to run pretty everything that I play smoothly, although at a lower resolution.

Average and there’s better options
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got it around when it first came out and enjoyed it but there’s definitely flaws The menus it comes with sometimes refuse to work and it’s overall a poor experience The actual system is good for what it is, besides the battery being horrible

Trash
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this device to take on the road with me while at work. The unit feels like cheap plastic and isn’t worth the plastic it’s in. Small hand held pc that last for maybe one hour so it’s a must you keep ot plugged in. System crashes when attempting to switch between gaming and pc functions. Wish I left it on the shelf and never purchased

Great handheld PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid handheld PC. If you have XBox Game Pass this is a superior handheld to the SteamDeck. Feels good in the hands and works well after setting it up. You might have to uninstall and reinstall the wifi card, but other than that it’s an amazing portable console.

Amazing product, let down by windows.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is extremely well built. It is worth every penny on the hardware front and even the Z1 chip, though not capable of modern AAA games, was able to play older titles very well. Titles such as Wolfenstein, Black Ops 3, GTA V, and others from this era worked at around 45-60fps at medium high 1080p. Temps were very well under control and ergonomics were great! The biggest issue is windows. The asus was overlay sometimes worked, sometimes bugged out and sometimes I wasn’t able to navigate around using the thumb sticks and needed to use the touchscreen. It overall, great product, let down by windows.

Not just games, it's a handheld computer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome. It can run anything a computer can because it is Windows 11. I can play all the steam games and Xbox games I want. Not to mention it can run mods for games. Also handy it's a tiny laptop and can be used for a few business things. Worth the money.

No regrets purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Comfortable handheld windows pc. I like the power it has to run current a list games and the screen is really clear and bright. I bought the standard version over the extreme and have not regretted that choice. ASUS has a really good product in the ROG Ally.

Probably the best overall windows 11 handheld.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably the best of current windows handhelds. I like that it’s smaller than some others. Impressive sound for its size. Ergonomics could be better. Performance surprisingly good within expectations.. definitely need to upgrade the included storage.

Pressure marks by being in backpack.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not powerful enough to run modern games but did fantastic with lighter games. Screen is very fragile. Definitely get a case, unfortunately it doesn’t come with one.
