I absolutely love my asus rog with z1 extreme chip with my warranty I got it for only 500$ instead of $700 and I had an issue with the joystick moving on its own slowly across the screen and when I took it to Best Buy and told them my issue they instantly went and grabbed me a new asus rog ally z1 extreme brand new in the box no questions asked like as long as you buy the 2 year warranty this thing is amazing it works better then any laptop I could find in the 700$ price range it has amazing processor amazing ram and it’s able to easily connect to my tv at home or anywhere easily portable so so I can use it handheld or use it when I’m traveling and connect it to tvs all I do is connect it to the Asus hub or just plug in my usb-b to hdmi-usb-3 and usb-c connected and I can connect my 200$ mechanical keyboard and my gaming mouse to it and I can also connect my Xbox series X controller to it too through Bluetooth an

Nice system it really is a handheld computer . Access to Xbox. Graphic are really good it’s like your playing on a TV the only down side is the battery life a full 8 charge will give you 1 hour of play on highest speed

It is great handheld device and value for money. Only issue is short battery life and one usb-c port.

Forget the Legion Go, no VRR, terrible speakers, and over gimmicky. It's also heavy. I literally had to put the speakers up to my ear to barely hear dialogue on Netflix. The Ally is the best you can get. Same specks and a lot smoother gameplay. Better software, and the 1080 is better. The higher rez on the Go actually does it a disservice. When down rezed because that's what the specs can actually handle, it looks worse than the Ally. I've tried both. I'm also a big Asus fan and have an M16 laptop. I'm very happy with this device. I will say this though, in order to play 1080p how I want to, these devices still need better specs. If you're willing to wait for a 2nd generation version, that device might actually be perfect if they improve the battery as well. The reach from the right stick to the top face button is a little long, they could make that better. The speakers are excellent on the Ally. I got the perfect grip which is a Skull & Co grip case so the ergonomics are perfect. I play mor on this little thing than my laptop which pushes 1600p on very high or ultra settings.

Battery life at max wattage is an hour max. Prepare to be plugged in. Works wonderfully for its intention. This product is a handheld laptop that compromises FPS for mobility. Best option around for anyone already heavily invested into handheld gaming

this is great handheld to play pc games but if is your first time playing pc games. it going to be little hard for you to set it up. it required a microsoft account and created another account plus doing a lot of updates and downloading. but you can play any game at good resolution and run good fps. on this handheld you can play at any planform like Steam ,Epic games, xbox and many more.

Love my mobile gaming and the fact I can take my games that are more offline based with me and not have to lug around a big laptop for less. Also cool it plays COD without much issues. No issues even after many updates. Definitely recommend getting an sad card or expanding the storage when you can.

Was not sure about this purchase being that I own a steamdeck, but wow, this thing rocks! Lighter, smaller and more powerful. The windows experience is more to my liking than Linux, and the user interface is more my speed. Only downside is that cases and other assessories are hard to come by.

I am in love with my Asus Rog, I love the fact that I have to sit at my computer when I want to cozy up on my sofa and play my cozy games. I love the portability this offers. I did have some issues with the first purchase so I took it back to bestbuy and they swapped it out for me. I havent had any issues since. My con to this is the battery life, I wish it was longer.

It's a windows handheld for better and for worse. There are a few bugs in the software still BUT they are worth putting up with. The device continually surprises me with the performance it can pull off. The battery life isn't fantastic but I find it's just enough for my use case.

Ton of potential but really just not refined enough at all for a release should have been delayed.i understand that it will take time for game optimization and launchers to update to function properly but Jesus this thing is just a buggy disaster even with basic functions within armory crate and windows itself they did a terrible job software wise getting this ready for users. It’s been hours of updates and restarts buttons not working having to reset and update to get core functionality back, not to mention brand new $700 handheld and the RB is flat pressed in s d barely clicks just not on par with the steam deck when it comes to support and being ready for users. Sad because when you get it going it outperformed it in every title. Will give it another week and if not forward progress it’s going back to Best Buy.

Greate device, performs better than my gaming laptop and extremely convenient when you have kids and can’t sit at your desk and game

I have a steam deck before I got the ally. Yes ally screen is better, audio is a tad better, and have more power to run more graphics demanding games. In my experience with the unit I got some games work beater that the Deck but some games i can run in the deck but not in the Ally, for example Ratchet and clank run no problem in the deck and it didn't want to run stable on the ally (crashed randomly), Start Field work on the Deck and it didn't work on the ally. That was my experience at the same time I was watching video of other people ally working just fine with the games I was having problems. I decided to keep the Steam Deck and return the Ally. Again it might be that I got a defective unit. Your experience might be better

It's an awesome handheld but the battery life was a dealbreaker for me. I already have a high end gaming pc so having it docked really has no benefit to me. But It runs most games very smooth at low to medium settings. If your a person who has experience with pc gaming and windows pc's in general, you should be fine setting up the device. But I can see why some people had trouble with the setup. If its your first time turning it on you'll probably be setting up windows and updating drivers for about an hour before you'll be able to start downloading and playing games. So if you don't care about the battery life get it. But for me its a no go.

It's great for playing on the go. Or at night when laying down. But don't expect to be able to play aaa titles well. I use it primarily for games like Apex, Life is strange. Have to upgrade the SSD to get decent storage space since everything is 50gigs or more.

Got the Z1 Extreme. Performs way beyond expectations. This thing is now my go to for gaming. Battery power really isn’t an issue for me because it’s usually plugged in or docked. Storage could be a tad bigger but there’s an upgrade to the SSD to expand it to 1-2 TBs. Would definitely buy again.

Great competition for the steam deck, great screen size and display. Gets a little hot after about 40mins of use but seems to stay at a usable temp. Battery power is a lacking a bit, but with recent upgrades the battery capacity seems to be improving. Overall i give it an 8 out of 10

The only achilles heel of this device is the storage capacity. 500gb is not ever sufficient, however you can upgrade the storage to 2TB for around $200. However, you’d might as well just get the upgraded model for $50 more on top of that. This device is for people who want to play games that have downloadable addons or run third party anti-cheat software like Destiny 2. The Steam Deck cannot support anything beyond the base games.

Just got my hands on the ROG Ally and it absolutely rips through AAA games at 120Hz—on a handheld! The Ryzen Z1 Extreme makes this feel more like a pocket-sized gaming PC than a console. If the Steam Deck had a big brother with Windows and better graphics, this would be it.

an excellent device. It is faster than steam deck and you can feel it. The fact that the screen feature is full hd and 120hz makes the difference. but you also feel the optimization problems caused by being windows 11. problems that can be fixed with updates. Perfect for playing Diablo 4.
