    If you need this, then get it. Otherwise, don't spend your money. Yeah, it is great but the battery life drains pretty fast. I will be gaming for an hour and the battery is at 50 percent already. Honestly, if you have a PC already and you are not on the road too often, then stick with Phone/Mobile gaming because this is not worth it unless you have to try something new that plays PC games, then go ahead because the best thing about it is that you can play games on here natively than playing gaming via stream so you can the best performance but you might have to lower the quality since it does not have the best hardware to play at ULTRA settings. Overall, I love the style of this but the battery life goes down quickly over an hour. Good audio. Okay controls if you are able to grip the side when playing FPS games. Download PC games (Xbox Pass, Steam, EPIC, etc.). I love the idea for this but the battery drainage and less usage for this device are the downside for me since I game a lot on my PS5 and PC...and also less traveling.

    I got this with the steamdeck . It totally 2 different machines, steam perfect for daily gaming like grab&go but some of the games can’t play on steam (ex Forza5, cyberpunk lacking alots , GoW running really bad during graphic…) . Ally is different animals can be played them all cause base on pc running both versions steam and xboxpass. They both still amazing machines for me .

    Great device required wifi which limits how mobile it is but hopefully wihtba hotspot it’s better. People complain that it’s hard to use it is a little more complicated but it’s a device that put together video games a computer and makes them mobile the battery could last more but I’m sure it happens like this cuz my gaming laptop runs out of battery constantly so this is probably the best it’s gonna get for a mobile device and considering the size.

    Really good handheld

    Got this to add to my handheld gaming device collection. I find myself using the ROG Ally and Steamdeck the most out of all of them. Anything I play on the switch or PSP or the Vita or other emulator based handhelds can be playing on the ROG Ally, since it runs on Windows, most things are click and play, sure a few games might need some tinkering but its definitely not a dealbreaker.

    Personally I love my Ally. I use it mainly to play PC games around the house. I do not like to always be by my gaming pc and this allows me to play in bed or sitting on the couch watching tv. I have ran some emulators and AAA PC games on it, all runs great. There is a bit of a learning curve to PC gaming that most people do not realize. This is not a Nintendo Switch that you will just pick up and play you will have to likely trouble shoot issues like how to update different programs if you are not use to doing so.

    It compliments your gaming pc.

    Don't expect it to be a full fledge pc. You will need to tweak it to your desired playstyle. This can play most games, but at a cost of FPS or image quality. Now it's a small screen, which makes up for the fact that low resolutions won't be as noticeable. If you love to tweak things and game on the go, then this device is perfect. It will complement your gaming pc Thanks to cloud saves you can pick from where you left on your pc or vice versa.

    Excelent performance, it has improved a lot with new updates. The only con is the battery life, but it was expected you can't have it all.

    Amazing machine. Yes, the updates take forever but it is Windows-based, and that's just what Windows does. Watch a guide on all three areas the ROG updates to ensure you are ready to go because once you are ready to go this thing is a powerhouse. I can remote-play my PS5 and it's perfect, I can play FFXIV online and it runs amazingly, and I can link up Steam, Battle.net, and X-Box and play all my game libraries from one device.

    ROG Ally Rocks!

    The ROG Ally is Beast of a gaming machine, I honestly read the reviews and expected it to be buggy, but that was not the case. I just ran the Armory Crate and Asus updater and it has run my games flawlessly. Battery life is a bit low (2hrs) heavy gaming, but the performance of the Ally more than makes up for it. Definitely my favorite gaming device and would highly recommend!

    I love this thing! Some of the most fun I've had in one device in a long time, if not ever! From Fortnite and Palworld, to emulation and classic PC games, this does it all. In my hands, or on my TV, the games and good times just keep coming! Asus has done an amazing job at making it easy to change all necessary settings on the fly - the buit in UI is effortless and fluent. I cannot recommend the Rog Ally Z1 Extreme enough!

    I purchased the ASUS ROG Ally on June 13 and I have to say it exceeded my expectations in every way. The performance is outstanding, allowing me to smoothly run even the most demanding games and applications without any lag or slowdown. If you're a serious gamer looking for a reliable and powerful handheld to compete with the Valve Steamdeck, the ROG Ally is the perfect choice. Highly recommended by a Steamdeck Owner

    Really great graphics. Had joystick failure first week. Best Buy was GREAT about exchange. No questions or hassle with the replacement of new console. I think Microsoft could employ a few less updates and there would be less bugs but that’s above my pay grade. Very satisfied with the ROG
