    This a good WIN11 gaming handheld compatible with most PC games. The only drawback is the short battery life away from AC power.

    Amazing device. Steam, PA remote play, Xbox, GOG- You name it, the Rog can handle it. Paying with your Best Buy Elite card? Even better. Get the best device at the best place. One of the best purchases I've ever made. I haven't stopped having fun with this device since purchase. Just amazing.

    Best handheld!

    Best handheld when purchased at launch and still amazing 2 years later. Plays AAA titles on low settings. Older games, indies, and emulators run extremely well. VRR screen for smooth gameplay. Battery life can be about an hour on demanding games but light to medium can stretch to 2-3 hours. If you can stay plugged it you get a performance boost and battery is not an issue. Would recommend to anyone wanting a handheld PC.

    Asus ROG Ally Rocks...

    Rog Ally is definietly a game changer in handheld. I sold my steam deck to buy this one and I must say it exceeded my expectations. Windows is not perfect but Armory crate UI made is a lot easier along with preinstalled game pass and controller configuration. I mainly bought to play call of duty titles and it does better than Steam deck. You dont have to install third party softwares to configure controls and the performance is great. Another standout feature is the precise and responsive controls. The ASUS ROG Ally features high-quality mechanical switches that offer a satisfying tactile feedback with each keypress. Whether you're engaging in fast-paced FPS battles or executing complex combos in a fighting game, the keyboard's responsiveness ensures you never miss a beat.

    Great and convenient hand held device. The battery drains pretty quickly on AAA games so highly recommend a power bank.

    Ive been playing with this handheld pc since the day it was release. So far its doing pretty awesome, just some minor issues like the battery life, internal storage limited but can be upgraded to 2 tb and some crashes but all in all this is way better than most handhelp pc out there.

    I live my Rog Ally ,dont get me wrong it is not without its flaws, but the pros far outweigh the cons. I have several AAA games loaded and several other games i just really like. I have Spider-man, miles Morale s, God of War, Midnight Suns, Outriders, Gears 5, Assassin's Creed, and more. Now my 1st one the SD card reader did fail, i dont keep an sd card in it unless im playing weaker games. Connecting it to my tv and using a controller is wicked cool too. The bios updates are making it better each time. I would tell anyone on the fence to get one, i definitely think its worth it.

    This handheld is amazing. After looking at the Lenovo Legion Go, the MSI Claw, and the SteamDeck, this is my choice. Absolutely great looking screen, decent battery life, comfortable, slim, and great speakers.

    The setup was easy and everything worked. Screen is beautiful. Controller works perfectly. Ran Diablo 4 at medium settings at a constant 60 fps at 15w TDP. Make sure to update drivers first to get this performance. Best handheld. I also used switch oled screen protector for now and it fits

    After a week of use the Rog Ally I would say this handheld great for handling some big games on Steam, the only downside is the battery life but other than that it’s a great device

    The Rog Ally is actually a really cool device that is held down by a lot of issues. For me the MicroSD card reader stopped working and looking online this may be due to heat and is a common issue. The device runs pretty hot the part you hold to play will be fine but the screen will almost feel like its going to burn you when playing high end games. There is something here in the future but right now I cannot recommend this device till they work out the hardware and software issues.

    Very nice product. The performance is way better than what I expected. I am using it with a quest 3 and the experience is very smooth. The battery life is good too. I don't need to charge it if I don't use it in a couple of dats. Besides, I finished this purchase inside a store and the clerk helped explain to me what's the best deal I can get for it, which saves me roughly 50 bucks (I guess). Thank you so much!!!

    Great idea, Short Battery life ruined it.

    TLDR: Great design and amazing performance capabilities but the battery life ruins the experience. RATING: I gave it 2/5 stars instead of 1/5 stars only because I like it DESPITE of it's critically short battery life. IMO: IF YOU ARE ON THE FENCE I RECOMMEND DON'T BUY, IF MONEY ISN'T AN ISSUE THEN I THINK IT'S WORTH BUYING IT AS A NOVELTY BUT NOT A FULL ON GAMING DEVICE. REVIEW: Honestly, this thing is amazing. I think it's perfect in every way but one, it's battery life. When it comes to performance this thing is incredible.. When it comes to aesthetics, this thing is incredible.. When it comes to the built in controller pad, it's incredible... When it comes to the hybrid Microsoft 11 touch screen OS combined with the ASUS armoury crate, it's amazing. The battery life is so bad that it makes all of it's positives meaningless, however. I can only get it to play games unplugged for 2 maybe 3 hours and plugged in for 4 maybe 6 tops before I have to shut it down and either: let it charge up, cool down, and usually both. I still love the thing to play on my bed with it is plugged in but it's basically a novelty rather than a standalone game playing device. Playing this away from a charger is unrealistic and if you use a battery bank then you ruin the mobility factor whilst risking overheating it and damaging it in the process. This thing has a special place in my heart though because it was always a childhood dream of mine to own a handheld XBOX game playing device and when I play Halo/COD on this thing it makes me feel like that dream has finally come true. So I'm still keeping mine and enjoy it for small 1-3 hour gaming sessions on weeknights; After work and before I go to bed.

    Things awesome. The 780m plays games great. When it can't I use steam link or Xbox streaming for it. BG3 runs on low (720p + upscaling you can play 100% of the game no problem. You can get a USBC dock and output to screen and even connect mouse and keyboard. Helldivers 2 seems to be the upper limit of what this device can support natively but thinking of the 1000's of games that just work on it forgetting triple A titles is kinda easy Don't count on the micro SD port working the new model does fix that though

    As a married dad gamer this thing allows me to play games with a 2 month old asleep in my arms while my wife watches her reality shows. Pros: its fast, beautiful screen, good buttons, plays everything cons: bad battery, i feel the ergonomics of holding it could be better

    I love this device, and I only have three negatives about it. one Im sure theyll fix soon and the other two I can fix myself. for one, my dlc through steam isn't being loaded into my games, I can play the base games just fine but for some reason even when I install the DLC manually they dont appear in game. the second is the battery, typical for a gaming laptop so buying a portable charger was expected. third is little-to-no accessories, there are some stuff that fit the ROG sure but I want custom tailored carrying cases and docks, on amazon the dock that people use for the steam deck have been confirmed not to support the ally on turbo and I hope to see someone manufacture some better toys for my beast of a mini computer.

    It's like a steamdeck 2.0

    As a steam deck user this is the next iteration. It's smaller, lighter and much better specd out while also being much more repairable. I managed to smash by thunbs ticks by dropping it from a table (they took the mpact and saved the screen). Cost 15$ and an ifixit kit and had it up and running in 30mins. Don't care much for the design though, have the RGB disabled and if there was a cleaner looking version I would have bought that. It was either purchase a new GU to upgrade my 1070 or this hand held and I have no regrets. Silicon has come such a long way that AAA games can be played at 60fps with great visuals and emulating my 360 collection means I can finally play classics not on steam/gog.

    Excellent device. Haven’t been able to put it down since. Truly a magnificent experience as far as quality and visuals. Only knock is the battery life isn’t great but you’re getting triple A gaming in your hands.

    The Definitive Handheld PC

    I've had this a little over a month now and have barely put it down. The amount of customization available lets me play almost anything I have or want on the device. Between emulation and connecting my steam, epic, and xbox game pass it is probably my favorite system now to play games on. Installing most games automatically adds them to the armourcrate app for extremely simple start ups, and have only ran into maybe 1 emulated game where the controls didn't automatically detect and work with the handheld inputs. While the battery life is far from great, it hasn't been an issue at all for me but for those wanting to use it away from any kind of power source it definitely should be kept in mind as depending on the game you can drain the battery in a couple hours.
