Superior
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All in one, do everything handheld device. Could easily be the best gaming handheld built ever. Battery needs improvement but this applies to any powerful gaming device out there
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Sd card reader
Geat but flawed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the device is great, its just the SD card slot issue of not working or ruining your cards is the biggest issue that cant be fix due to its design.

Look elsewhere for handheld gaming experience
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a seamless handheld gaming experience, look elsewhere. You're better off with a Nintendo Switch or a Steam Deck. This is a handheld PC. It packs a punch but the battery life is terrible and the micro SD card reader will eventually stop working (research it, its a manufacturing flaw). Way too expensive for the amount of flaws it has. This is coming from a PC gamer and builder.

I would recommend this to a friend Great Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Device. I had the Ally Z1 that I got used and really enjoyed but the USB port got damaged and no warranty on used eBay devices. Found the Z1E on sale and couldn't pass it up. Can't wait for a real Ally Z2E system to be released that can run high end games even more smoothly.

Everything I need in a handheld gaming system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly as it is supposed to be basically a laptop built into a gaming controller. So nice being able to play any game i want on a handheld vs my steam deck where I had to jump through hoops to play certain games.

Choose Ally for PC gaming... not disappointed!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Aside from extrrnal attachments needed for Mouse/Key, Streaming, etc, the Ally works really well! It can run a bit hot at high resolution but computers do that as well.

Best Handheld

Great gaming handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you know windows or have a gaming PC you will feel right at home. Amazing performance. Runs to a 4k tv and runs 4k games at 30-60fps in some cases. Does require tweaking and adjusting at times but is well worth it

Great hand held
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Look people will trash it due to flaws but everything is flawed at some point. Buy the warranty and you will be covered. This is a great device that blows the socks off of the steam deck and switch. Amazing machine

Asus Ally is the Real Deal

Just buy the z1 extreme
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Minus the sd card issue this is the best gaming handheld I’ve purchased. Asus always makes great products and I’ve been a loyal customer for as long as I can remember.

High end capabilities is a perk.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device makes you want to experience its total value, but in order to do so, the battery life is awful. Coming from the Steam Deck you should expect this.
