Wanted a portable hand held computer to play games and figured they this. Takes a why'll to setup because of lots updates. There's some glitches I'm it and have to be patient with some games to load. But overall very happy with it. Lots videos on how to twerk it and get beat out of it. Still lots to learn but if you want something to play games why'll away from computer or console I recommend this device. Hope on time gets to work as good as my consoles

Great machine ! Works well. Took some time to figure it out and get it working but works really well!!

Prior steam deck owner. Currently listing the steam deckok ebay. This thing is so versatile. Pair it with an xg mobile and it can be a main machine, plays vr, can do productivity work, and can obviously do handheld gaming. Speakers are loud and clear. Display is fantastic, though i wish it had oled because i love oled. Some folks complain about windows being clunky with touchscreen, this is true, however you can use steam big picture mode or playnite in fullscreen to launch games just fine. Definitely worth checking out. Oh and if white isnt your jam, just skin it. I got a camo skin on mine from m2skins. Last minor gripe, only one usb c port. Would have liked to see at least a usb a as well.

Its been a complete game changer. Being able to play current titles anywhere i go, it was worth every dime. From taking it on flights to playing Diablo 4 while on work trip. Absolutely recommend.

Other the the sd card slot being an issue, which i knew about ahead of time, i love this device. Plays anything i throw at it and feels great when holding.

Perfect handheld gaming machine. I have it with me everywhere. Powerful and portable. But you sure need to bring powerbank and you can enjoy your games whenever you go.

Ended up selling my steam deck to a friend after getting the ROG Ally, but it wasnt exactly an easy choice. The ally is awesome because it supports more than just steam games like the steam deck natively does, but unfortunately windows on a handheld is still not really great. While the steam deck has strange issues like sometimes just not powering on and then needing an update out of nowhere The ally has all kinds of other issues like the game center just not working sometimes and also the keyboard being a little well bad. If all you care about is performance and playing games on something other than just steam get an ally, otherwise you might be better off just getting a steam deck.

Build quality is great, remind me of original Game Boy. It's very comfortable, performance is amazing, very quiet, for this price no competitor at all.

It could be so much better. I’m giving a 4 because overall it is a good handheld overall and I like it over the steam deck. But it is buggy at times I have to reload games a couple times for them to actually load. Sound profile is good for a handheld device. And games look really good. I’m hoping they work out some of the bugs cause it is really a great handheld. And for the price it is a competitor to a lot of the windows based handhelds out there!! I am very satisfied with the Ally I upgraded the nvme and added an SD card and they do work flawlessly!

Hey, look, its a PC. If you dont know how to download updates before you start trying to play games, then dont buy this then whine about it later. If you dont mind doing some updating installation and configuration, and your PC games library is not mostly on Steam, then this is probably what youre looking for. It plays Gamepass and other systems including Steam natively. The reviews are true about battery life. Its not great. I play plugged in most of the time so its not an issue for me. Expect an hour to 2 hours of battery life. Great system overall though!

Awesome PC on the go. I bought it for my son's birthday and he absolutely loves it. It's perfect for gamers on the go but only downside is the battery doesnt last that long if he plays on it continuously.

Love the versatility of it this device, can game in so many ways, wish there was more storage and a bit better battery life, my only cons

I recommend the ally if u like to have the portability like a switch but like the play PC games I find it comes in handy whenever I'm out and about or if I'm busy doing something at like a DMV or something just connect it to my phone's hotspot and then I can play all my favorite games I can play on my computer

Has been great so far! Been able to play all the games I’ve been wanting to play on it. Only wish I was able to buy the system with more than a 500gb HDD. (Upgrading the drive was simple enough however)

Not bad, plays most games. Battery sucks so you have to be connected to power most of the times or get a battery bank and maybe get an extra 2 hours.

Very compact but yet powerful machine. can pretty much run any game you throw at it. Battery life is not the best so expect about ~1 hour of gameplay.

This was a slight learning curve as you need to know how to set it up, but it has been a game changer. I absolutely love love love this. I can play all the games I want without needing to take up a whole tv screen or be at my PC. Definitely recommend. Just know that it will take a bit to get used to. Looking up help guides really saved me time.

Got it open box. Great condition. Only giving it four stars based on the actual software. But you know what you’re getting with a windows device not truly made for mobile gaming. Lots of tinkering when you just wanna plop down and game at the most opportune moments when you don’t have much time. Aside from that you have access to all launchers as well as game pass, big time pluses to not be locked into the Steam store always.

Games runs great on the go and its nice to be able to catch up on my games as well

Good Item but Best Buy certified open box was poorly handled, it was defective still out of the box and as it eas a gift we did not find ourselves in an easy position to fix it ourselves Otherwise great Product
