    Works reasonably well, recent update seems to limit the use of the joysticks for some things. Some game compatibility isn’t ideal. I’d suggest looking around a bit on reddit or other channels for whatever games you’re intending to use it on to see how well it does or doesn’t work.

    Very good gaming portability, plays most games well. I like Forza racing. Graphics at 1080p 120hz is enough. Not many issues at all. Works as a regular computer if needed. Great for emulators

    Performs very well, nice to not have to check compatibility …can play all my PC games. Feels more solid than switch (probably due to lack of detachable joycons). 512GB isn’t much, so I immediately upgraded to 2TB SSD and 1TB micro SD.

    Hands Down The Best Handheld Device Available

    I absolutely love it. It is a more than capable gaming handheld. The sd card area does get rather warm though. It makes me worry about its viability. Other than that, i would most definitely recommend.

    Love the ROG Ally for the performance. What it lacks is battery. Truly the only thing bringing it down.

    It was a nice device with some cosmetic flaws with "excellent condition". It was a little dirty than expected. I had to clean it. It still worked well but ended up returning it for the legion go. Highly recommended after updating drivers and software. It takes some learning to make it work out the box. Do not expect a console experience. It requires LOTS of tinkering. Battery life isn't that great either but if you're plugged in, it should be amazing! It's like a ps5 in your hands!

    easily runs top AAA s at respectable frame rate. no issues at all. sound quality is mind blowing in games and display is way ahead of Steam Deck. found thumb sticks to feel cheap but in compare to Steam Deck but performance blew me away that I can easily bear with that plus I found windows not be as bad as many reviewer mentioned and infact easier to run multiple game stores and Xbox game pass is a unmatching value if you ever wanted to compare. overall super satisfied and will for sure sell my steam deck! I just wanted to thank Bestbuy for making this conveniently available at my and many other locations. Great purchase that you will never regret if you ever thought about having your games on the go. Can easily replace your desktop computer too!

    Best handheld for the best price

    Hands down this is the best alternative to a Nintendo Switch if you don’t like Nintendo games. I can use my entire PC catalogue with additional support from AMD/ROG. The only negative is that the graphics usually are set to medium if you want to play modern games at 30fps-60fps. Either way amazing handheld and worth the price.

    So far so good, a little issue when opening the keyboard when first use but know I figured it out. Gaming is good but I wish the battery could last longer, it's really light and a good size, already upgraded to a 2tb.

    I have owned the Asus Rog Ally Extreme for over a week. I previously owned the Steam Deck Oled and have been curious about the ARA Extreme since its release. I was on the fence about the ARA because it is a Windows device and battery life. First off, the battery life of the ARA is not great but is comparable to the Steam Deck LCD version. The fan noise is a lot quieter than the Steam Deck OLED and I like that I can control the performance, CPU, etc. I love the color, form factor, and screen. I feel that the device is just enough for the casual gamer that I am. Lastly, Invest in a portable battery for the device. I recommend the Anker 735.

    This is an amazing product. If you are a PC gamer that wants to play anywhere I highly recommend this product. Where the Steam Deck excels the ROG ALLY goes further. Having Windows is both a negative and a positive. Being able to play all your PC games from any launcher is fantastic. ASUS onboard controls and settings are quite accessible and gives you a ton of control on your handheld experience. Battery life sucks we all know it but there enough accessories in the world to overcome this issue.

    The best budget Gaming Handheld

    If you're on a budget for a gaming handheld, this is the one to get. The battery is poor so plan on playing in short bursts, have a battery pack nearby or install the battery mod.
