IT'S GREAT... when it works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never wanted to love a device more than this. The hardware feels great. It feels premium. It's powerful. However, it is a Windows 11 device. It has all the annoyances of Windows. If you are a console player you will most likely be frustrated with this device. I might have gotten a bad unit. Asus is notorious for poor quality control. My device crashed constantly. I eventually had to reinstall windows do get the device working. That worked great for a few days and then the device started crashing again. I love the idea of a handheld PC but this device isnt there yet. I'll wait for a second generation

Windows 11 ruins a good device
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is more powerful than a Steam Deck, the 1080p screen on the device looks a lot nicer than a Steam Deck, and if you were looking at a $650 Steam Deck the extra $50 for a ROG Ally should be a no brainer, and I really want to be able to recommend it, but Windows cripples this device so terribly I can't. Here's just my past 4 hours trying to deal with this device: I put the ROG Ally in my backpack at 10:20am this morning. I pulled it out at Noon and the device was scorching hot. The screen would not turn on, even with various long presses. I reasoned that it managed to kill its battery (why????) and needed to recharge. Plug it in, come back to lunch, force shut down (long press) then hit the power button again and it finally boots up. Windows has changed the display scale setting on me so now all of the text is small and I have to on on and fix that. Not great, but recoverable. It also seems to have disabled whatever let the task bar go into "skinny" mode. So Windows Update has effectively rolled back functionality I had when I first used the device. Awesome. Another hour later, I try to turn on the screen again, and it won't turn on, except this time the battery is definitely full. I do another long press on the power button to get it to shut down and boot it up again. Try to launch a game and get a "Your graphics card does not support DirectX 12!" error. I then launch AMD's software and it says that WINDOWS UPDATE "UPDATED" MY GRAPHICS DRIVER TO A NON-COMPATIBLE ONE! Valve's decision to use Linux on the Steam Deck could not be more vindicated. I feel bad for ASUS, because it's technically not their fault, but running Windows is supposed to be a selling point for the device, and instead it's a weight around its neck.

Best Gaming Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This handheld pc is the best product I’ve ever bought from Best Buy. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in a gaming pc, because this is my first gaming pc/handheld. If ROG comes out with another one I may get that one too.

A work in progress.....
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great potential! Windows OS and Armory Crate SE need a ton of improvement on the Ally. Battery life is kinda lame. The MicroSD card slot overheats and ruins MicroSD cards. No transparency from Asus on these problems.

Posted .Dear skygunner27,
We truly appreciate your feedback on the ROG Ally. Regarding the MicroSD card issue, we would recommend that you return the unit to us through an RMA so we can investigate the issue and have it resolved. Before you do so we would need the following information:
1. SD card brand and model
2. SD card capacity
3. SD card is first time use?
4. SD card worked on other devices after failing on the Ally?
5. Thermal profile usually used > Silent / performance / turbo / manual
If manual, please provide us with the fan curve.
6. How much storage capacity has been used on the SD card

Would definitely buy again.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it as a bday gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it. The specs are incredible compared to the Steamdeck. If you are a PC gamer or introducing yourself to the world of PC gaming,this is for you.It comes with a small durable stand ,you'd have to eventually buy a dock eventually.

I love it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sold my steam deck and got an open box for a very good deal. One of my best decisions of 2023. The only thing I don’t like about it is that the thumb sticks should be stiffer. Aside for that it is perfect for me in every way.

Great Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great handheld, plays games from steam, xbox, etc. My only issue was that it needs to stay plugged in if you're going to play for a couple hours straight.

Switch in steroids
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When you can play an entire library if Steam games already purchased and not have to invest $60+ per game for a new system, that alone pays for itself. Amazon graphics, sound, controls and that says a lot coming from someone who games on a 4090 gaming PC
