    I'm really enjoying it. It's made playing single player games fun again. I could be understanding it wrong but sometimes when I power it on it just shuts off, even though the battery isn't dead. After a couple of tries it works. But other than that everything is working great.

    Overall a very comfortable and responsive device. Sometimes in turbo mode it gest a little noisy but the gaming experience is very fun! I had consoles before but I prefer this device because of it's portability and the cross-platform games you can access from a PC. I think there are some improvement opportunities when connecting external controllers and screens, it gets tricky sometimes and you may lose some time with the configuration settings. I strongly recommend to buy a docking so you can connect HDMI ports and USB devices.

    Great little device, as a dad that games this is great to grab some game time when the little one naps. Does take a little bit of PC knowledge to tweak some settings and get it working correctly but nothing to complicated. I bought one for my brother as well who is not that great with computers and was still able to get everything set up and enjoys using the device. For the price you cannot beat it, this is truly an ALLY to a gaming dad.

    Great Handheld, Good Power at a Reasonable Price

    Fantastic device, I've used it both on Windows and several alternative Linux distros. Battery life is what you'd expect from a handheld PC, not too bad for the power you get. This model I hear is much more worth the money than the non extreme model, but I can't confirm that myself as I don't have one. Joysticks are very nice, all buttons are tactile and feel good, even after months of use. Can't go wrong, though be sure to update your BIOS and operating system for the best stability.

    Bad asus support to register open box.

    The product is good but would be better with more storage. There are aftermarket mods to allow for a 2280 SSD m.2 to be installed which allowed me to put a 4tb m.2 into unit for more storage on the go. The low rating is for asus support as I purched a open box and get my receipt e-mailed to me. The previous person registered it to them. I contacted support case # N2401027429 about transferring registering to my account sending them a screenshot of the e-mail forwarding them the e-mail along with pic of the box and unit with serial number clearly visible but all I get is sorry this is not good enought or we see you sent this but we can't see it. So think twice before buying a open box of asus product or any asus product as it might be hard to get good support from asus.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great System and Excellent Laptop

    I have both the Steam Deck and I have this. The reason why I like this more is for 2 reasons. The first reason is that I am not just limited on Steam, but I have the entire PC library at my disposal. But I don't find myself playing games as often as I like, but more using this for business related stuff. It's much easier to transport this over my laptop so I use this with a USB Type C hub. Some people hate the Office options with this, but it's perfect for me because I was able to get much more achieved with this.

    Honesty i had my doubts about how this was gonna run games but i put on MW2 on its suggested settings which granted werent the highest settings but none the less it was running at around 85 FPS which is no small feet seeing how some desktops cant do that, honestly im happy with my purchase and i will be buying another one for the wife.

    Order arrived on time as it was advertised. Despite some issues other experiencing, mine worked so far great no issue with SD card or overheating . I own steamdeck, ayaneo2 and ayaneo air pro but ally by far is the best and i am very happy with my purchase. If you are willing to change setting to get what you are hoping for this is a great handheld for you but if you are expecting to play right out of the box then this is not for you. Powerful machine and play games that my other handheld struggle with. Very happy with the purchase.

    I was initially worried about taking on a windows handheld but if you’ve had any experience with a Windows PC, youll be fine. It is a bit more involved than a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch but the power and flexibility you get in return make it worth it in my opinion. Being able to easily play Steam, Epic, XBox/Gamepass, and GOG games and have them all show in one library is fantastic. Never thought I would be able to play most modern AAA titles on a portable but here we are.

    The Ally provides exactly what it advertises. For the portability and weight/size, the performance is outstanding. The wifi capability is fantastic. I do mainly play with the device plugged into its power source to have best performance. With the Ally running Windows 11 out of the box, it feels like a true PC experience on start up. ROG does provide their own interface however I find starting up games directly through steam tends to run smoother. The Ally will only continue to advance as technology allows

    Have had the Ally a little over a month now and I’m in love.. The ability to bring AAA quality games with you where ever you go blows my mind constantly. Have been rocking Baldurs Gate 3 with my buddies and it handles very well with a few tweaks. They have sites dedicated to helping you find the best setting for your games to run well too. Best purchase in a while!!!
