This is a very good handheld, little toough to set up but once thays done its amazing

This was a good machine, and I have no regrets. I will say before you buy, you must know how to navigate a windows computer fairly well if you want to use it to its full potential. Battery sucks tho (I’m never traveling so it doesn’t bother me)

Its neutral for me came w xbox game pass 3months can play about all my pc games, plus the carrying case was cool. The sd card reader doesnt work i looked it it up and i guess its common

I love my ally!!!! I use it daily, I’ve played fortnite, overwatch 2, gta, Disney dreamlight and so on on it all with no issue!!! The battery life is only about 45 off the but that’s literally my only nit pick :)

I really like this game console. Its functions are very powerful. Not only can it play large games, but it can also be used as a laptop with clear and three-dimensional graphics. Our whole family loves it! I will recommend it to my friends!

I'm loving this thing. Sure, it's still a bit rough on the software side and windows but it's an amazing little device for the power it consumes and produces. Even though I already have a steam deck, I still love this thing can't wait to see how much it improves with updates down the road. A+

This is a great system. Ignore the 1 star reviews, they are either upset they couldnt get it a day early or they dont know how to use a windows system. The performance of this handheld is so much better then the steam deck and ergonomics feel a lot better as well. I highly recommend getting it.

100% the windows handheld I was looking for! The Ally has helped my gamer block I’ve been having for years! No issues at all, it’s honestly a dream to play Xbox gamepass, Steam, Blizzard, & Riot games all in one place! Definitely recommended to any one looking for this experience!

So far this thing has been awesome. Ive had a few crashes and ive had one SD card fail due to the heat. Despite this, its a super nice and I’m glad I bought it. Hopefully some futher updates will smooth out the rough edges.

I love this device so much , it’s not just a pc it’s an all around gaming machine spectacular graphics. User friendly , I love the size and how you can do everything a 5000 pc can do and more . The best investment ever

Nothing like being able to play on the go and be productive with email and business needs i have. This thing is amazing and you need to play with it a little bit to get it working but after that, get your favorite games and this thing I'm pretty much play .anything you need

Look, this device has huge potential but has many flaws. Let me begin with my first biggest issue and that is the charger block. It only lasted for one charge and decided to die.. so I had to use a spare 45w usb c power bank to make it run again. OS: Sadly this is a microsoft interface with asus software. The bad thing about this is that windows has many flaws and those affect the user. For example I had to set up my PIN code twice but I couldn't log in using my outlook account and to verify I'm the owner of the account I had to enter a code that was sent to me via another e-mail.. Well this code is only 6 digits and on my ROG ally it was supposed to be a 7 digit code so I was literally unable to start using my ROG ally because I had to log in first but couldn't. FIX for this issue: go to your email settings and add a phone number, this code will work and you'll be able to log in and set up your pin code. Stability is a big issue since this handheld is being treated the same as a desktop or laptop computer which means games are not 100% optimized to fully use all the resources of the device leading to stuttering and instability. Yes I updated BIOS, Windows, Armoury crate and my ASUS to make sure I had everything up to date but still same issues. Design: I have large hands and the way you'd normally hold the device would force me to have a weird grip making it weird to use the joysticks properly. I would blame the lack of thicker grips on the device since the ones it has are very slim so you'll also run into finger placement issues on the back of the hanheld. Wish right stick was at the same height as the left one at least. To finish it all let me mention the included stand. It's made out of plastic and could use a horizontal design instead of a vertical one. But hey at least they give you a stand that kind of does the job. Sadly will have to return this and maybe give it another chance in a couple months to see if it's been fixed..

I’ve been considering a handheld PC since before the launch of the Steam Deck but no device ticked all the boxes that mattered to me until the Ally. This is a great device that is powerful for the price, is extremely easy to use, and the screen is miles better than the Steam Deck.

Power hunger but powerful The ROG Ally is amazing and with the right firmware will only get better i play using handheld mode and casting to my lg c2 tv as well as docked with all th functions of pc adding a bt keyboard and mouse i can play every game i own across all platforms

This is great. Does everything I wanted. Purchased a keyboard for use when doing the occasional homework assignment when not near my computer. Will probably add some storage eventually. Highly recommend the extreme (top) model

This is an amazing device. I have been using it to play everything from retro games all the way up to Starfield which is a recent release. I also use it with a dock to check emails and other light tasks. Definitely recommend!

I got my unit on launch date and ever since is working very good. Setting up windows it was time consuming but once you have it all you can start playing games from xbox game pass, steam and others. I haven't use the sd card slot so until today no problems on that area.

Been using this handheld console for a couple weeks now and it’s a beast. If you’re on the fence whether you should buy this or the steam deck just for the rog ally. Only negative is the poor battery life

I think it’s a great product but the only issue really is that the battery doesn’t last that long.

It is exceeding my expectations. Didn't expect a top of the line gaming computer for $700, but it is running everything smoothly at decent settings. Well worth the purchase. Looking forward to some of the versatility once I can purchase some more accessories.
