The best if you’re comfortable with computers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very capable windows handheld. One downside is battery life when playing the more demanding games. Another is windows. If you want a pick-up-and-play device, look somewhere else. This took some configuring and learning to get perfect. But that configuration was well worth it.

ROG Ally is the best Windows Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best windows handheld in the market right now. I love being ab le to run all my windows based installers like GOG and Battle.net to play almost everything I play on my desktop. Gamepass streaming gaming on this unit is incredible as well.

Great Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Xbox Cloud gaming works great. Starfield runs fairly well on low settings. Call of Duty MW3 runs great online and usually gets around 100fps. More demanding titles may not play as well. But for what this is it is worth the money.

Love this system
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was on the fence about getting a handheld gaming PC for a while. Finally jumped on this when i saw it was on sale. It plays everything i throw at it. Of course, you have the adjust the graphics settings. However, due to the small screen size, games look excellent on medium/low settings. Highly recommend.

Not quite ready for prime time
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Rog Ally is a good device. Not great. The screen pops is holds an egde over the Steam Deck. Regrettably it is not quite as load and go as the SD is. Ms Games and Battlenet worked like a champ. I think in 6 or 8 months this will be an excellent alternative to the Steam Deck.

Great handheld controls could use better tolerance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best handheld gaming experience in my opinion. Leagues better than the Switch and more capable than the Steam Deck. Great for almost all games from Triple A to indy games. My only complaints are that the control sticks grind against the casing and that the A, B, X, Y face buttons feel loose and spongey.

You'll need a battery pack immediately.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very high cost for a device that will get you under two hours of battery time. That for me was the deal breaker. Paying $699+tax for a device that lasts less than 2hrs on a battery charge doesn't make this worth it. It's cool, and the idea is great, but even after running games at the lowest resolution which led to 30fps, it's just not worth it. COD MW2 spiked a lot performance-wise, and Diablo4 did alright. ROG has the right idea, but at this price point, I'd have liked it to have more than a supposed 2hr battery life which I never reached. Within 30-45mins of playing Diablo, I'd have to put it charging.

After Patches It’s Great!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been really impressed with the ROG handheld. I’ve owned it since launch and at first it was a little rough, but after a few patches the system is really stable! I’ve basically turned the ROG into a docked emulator computer. Works great! Plays everything from NES to Switch. I play this more than my Steam Deck!
