Great product for on the go able to play a lot of pc games since it runs windows 11

Amazing device and saved another $100 or so by getting an open box version. The console was in excellent condition, just as advertised. Easy purchase and pick up options. Highly recommend for anyone looking to play AAA PC games on the couch or in bed without hogging the tv.

I bought this device about 6 months ago. I use it on my off days from work and I enjoyed it when i played. I am never rough on my devices, i buy cases, screen protectors, bumper protectors, etc. But this device is waaay to expensive for all the problems ive had. On day 1, something was already loose in the top left trigger and an audible rattle was present. Got that fixed. Then i decided to buy an SD card for the device and it worked great until the SD card reader stopped working and would no longer work. Figured it may have been a bios issue or a software issue. I updated the bios and got my ally working again, including the SD card reader. I then installed all my games and got my device ready for a trip. I played with the ally and all my games for several days leading up to my trip with zero issues. Then the day of my trip, my ally wouldnt turn on. I tried charging it, using the included charger and many different chargers and nothing happened. No power at all. I was reading on the asus forums and apparently, these issues are very common. They posted various tips and tricks to help get my ally back to life, including: holding the power button and all various button combos for 30 secs, nothing. I opened the back and disconnected the battery to let everything just, reset.. nothing. The device was completely dead for no reason at all. Its very infuriating that a device this expensive would have so many issues. Issues that shouldnt even be a problem, like the SD card reader not working?? How long have we had SD cards?? Lemme tell you, long enough to where issues like this should not happen. Then for the device to just be dead for no reason at all after me using it just hours before? C'mon. Its completely unacceptable. Luckily i got the 3 year warranty on the device. But im out 300$ for the warranty now. Waste of time and money. Ill be upgrading to either the oled steam deck or the lenovo go.

The handheld is awesome. It just took forever to come in through the mail. They also never delivered my case that was supposed to come along with it. And I received an email that it was cancelled…really frustrated with that.

This machine has exceeded my expectations. I have been taking it with me for the last 2 weeks and have been impressed. The graphics are great, the ability to modify the system like a standard windows device is a nice bonus

The ROG Ally is a great portable gaming PC, being able to play games like Cyberpunk 2077, Jedi Survival, Starfield, Forza Horizon 5, Hogwarts Legacy among many other AAA games on the go natively is just amazing, also its just perfect for emulation, you won't regret it.

The device itself is great but if you plan on playing on the go or using it for long periods bring a exterbal battery. It lasts about an hour before needing a charge. Also, i reccomend upgrading the storage

Excellent way to play PC games on the go worth the price

This device has made my gaming much more accessible and I've been fighting my wife over which of us gets to use the thing.. I recommend getting a Bluetooth keyboard & mouse though - it can be quite awkward to set up unless you've got good windows experience Very good for what I need it for: a switch that can run my steam library

It’s a pretty good device. Not all pc games will play but mostly all play wall like 90% of pc games run maybe more. As soon as you buy it I recommend a 25x25x10 heat sink just YouTube it and you’ll find it. I really don’t know much about pc’s but I can tell you it’s not hard use this device even with some pc knowledge.

The software on this is perfect! Seamlessly swites between desktop and gamepad controls, and even frame rates, resolution, and power settings. D-pad is HOT garbage though.

After getting through the initial Windows set up and updating The machine, the GPU and Core armory this machine handles all my games like a champ. the higher resolution than other handhelds is nice.

Great mini pc. Worlds above the Steam Deck because of the extra things you can do with a Windows device over Linux.

Always surprised by these handheld pcs, but the ram is really holding this model back.

Runs Starfield like a champ after a driver update. 2 hour or so battery life when running at full performance. Functions exactly as it should. I have not used the SD card reader, so I’m not personally aware of any issues with my unit.

I went from a steam deck to this and I love it. It can play almost any game that I throw at it with reasonable expectations and frame rates. As long as you acknowledge what this system is and do not go in expecting it to change the world you will be more than satisfied. It is basically a small, lower end, portable gaming PC.

If I were to consider buying a hand held console today, I would think again about buying this one. The set up on games can be clunky, not all games work with it, and battery life is OK not great. It is practical to just have around but not sure it was worth it. Asus is great with support if needed but it’s also kind of niche so can be hard to find certain instructions, especially when it comes to set up for games.

Very powerful. Running smooth mostly every AAA games.

Amazing in almost every way. Only complaints are with my medium sized hands I sometimes touch the screen by accident when using the right joystick; and I did run into the widespread sd card reader failure although ASUS should repair at no charge.

I was skeptical about after owning a steam deck and being dissapointed. But this is a whole other ballpark. I was able to play any of my games at reasonable settings and get respectable fps. I can completely recommend this without hesitation.
