    Is an absolutely amazing handheld for gaming can run all the AAA games well if you don’t know how to work windows it can be a little tough but doesn’t take long to get use to is definitely worth the money especially if you don’t have the time to put in on your console or desktop

    i love it also get the Anker - PowerCore III Elite 25600 that is a must with this because this thing is a champ i use this more than i use my steam deck now because you can use it as a computer since it comes with full windows 11 so i can use it for work related stuff

    I found the Ally a little more difficult to set-up being that it runs the whole windows operating system. Which does have its benefits in the long run, this allows for more game launcher programs and the ability to run more games than the Steam Deck. My only complaint is how quickly the battery can be drained.

    I've been using this device for a few months now and absolutely love it. It is more powerful than my desktop gaming computer in many ways. One of which is that it runs Starfield perfectly while my desktop cant! It takes some getting used to but now it has become an everyday carry item.

    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

    Great gaming handheld PC. Still some bugs that are being worked out but the device plays games well. Windows 11 works as expected, when docked, external display output is good quality. Upgraded to 2TB SSD, that process was quite easy as well.

    Solid device however during use it can be difficult to use the keyboard. Overall worth it’s price tag if you’re looking for a small portable gaming device.

    Dont bother with the steam deck. Just pick up an Ally. Since recieving my ally, i havent played the steam deck at all. The rog simply outclasses the steam deck. Playing games natively works well but streaming is where its at. Using moonlight/steam streaming at 120fps is absolutely glorious for couch sessions.

    The hand held is pretty good but the only problem I have with it is the battery life. The battery depending on the game would as about 1 hour at best. If going to travel with this you need a good power bank.

    Much better than my steamdeck as far as usability. Plays more games, but the micro sd design is so flaw and can fry a micro sd within a week. Upgrading the internal 2230 ssd was easy!

    While I loved my Steam Deck there were just some games it couldn't run very well or at all. But the ROG Ally has been able to take everything I threw at it at 1080p with at least a very playable 30fps. Overall great purchase that I would recommend to anyone who wishes there Steam Deck had a little extra power.

    This is my first gaming handheld console I had the pleasure of being able to purchase. The gaming quality is to die for. You can even turn it into a mini pc setup!

    I love the asus Ally to death. It does have a SD issue on some units but ignoring that its the best handheld ive ever seen or used!! Also best buy has done a wonderful job handling the issues with SD. So its best to only buy it at bestbuy as they are handling each customer with care.

    Not bad but doesn't live up to the spec's

    So I bought this to take with me when I travel. The stats look good for several games I play. Diablo II plays great! Diablo III doesn't support controller play so I haven't loaded it. Diablo IV should be supported but even on low graphics model the system is very laggy and in most cases not playable. Over all it is ok, and I'll use it for some games like D2 and maybe hearthstone. May try some other xbox games but the performance just wasn't what is should be capable of with the spec's. Too bad as it had great possibilities according to the specs. Other issue is battery life. Lucky to get an hour, but it does a good job not getting hot so that was a plus!

    The Rog is an amazing handheld with minor software issues. Aside from that the battery life is not great but the same as my steam deck. I like that it’s smaller than the steam deck but would still love to see them with a second iteration which is pocketable. Other than that thank god for the 120hz screen.

    For those looking for a cheaper alternative to PCVR! This would be the perfect device: gamea like VRchat can range from 56-64fps ( low settings). Grim Lord VR: 37-48fps ( high settings) SkyrimVr (64 fps) low settinbs. I mainly play VR this way because it's convient for me. Its worth cbecking out
