This handheld is awesome l, my inly complaints are the dead zones in the joy sticks thay took some tweaking to get right and the storage is really low, other than that it can play all aaa games in medium settings, this console shines with older games lkne cod zombies black ops 2 or 3 runs those games max settings smooth.

The Asus ROG Ally is great though it may not fit your needs. Pros - Windows 11 - Comfortable Design - Runs most games with no issues - Beautiful screen - Quality build - Good customization/power profiles Cons - Windows 11 - Very limited battery life - No good carry case available Meh - Asus launcher software - functional but could be better

I was looking for a handheld PC to play Diablo 4 and it came down to the ROG Ally or the SteamDeck with workaround. The price point of the ROG Ally was comparable to the SteamDeck with 512gb, so I had to decide if the $50 price difference was worth it. After watching and reading a lot of reviews comparing the two, I decided to give the ROG Ally a try. Having used Windows 11 and having set up multiple PCs with this OS, I felt like I could troubleshoot some of the issues discussed in the reviews. The few issues that kept appearing in reviews (i.e. microSD card corruption, FPS performance at 15W, etc.) were supposedly addressed in recent firmware and BIOS updates. First thing I did as soon as I booted up the ROG Ally was perform these updates before attempting to game on the device, and I believe this addressed most of the performance issues others experienced at launch. I was able to download and install battle.net and Diablo 4 pretty easily and was able to get sustained 60fps while plugged in and using Turbo Mode. So far, I’ve put about 7-8 hrs on D4 both plugged in and on battery and have enjoyed the experience. Coming from mouse and keyboard on a gaming PC with 144fps to the ROG Ally took a little getting used to, but after about an hour I had no issues playing the game using the ROG Ally controller. I also tried partying up with some friends using the hotel Wi-Fi and was able to run dungeons for a couple of hours without any disconnections or significant lag. Overall, I’m pretty happy with my purchase and will update my review after I’ve put in more hours on the ROG Ally!

This unit is WONDERFUL! I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone using a handheld gaming device especially if you play PC games. I've played multiple AAA titles on this without falter. Destiny 2, Cyberpunk, Diablo IV, etc. Only complaint is the battery life outside of it's charging state. if you're gaming on the go, really bump down the intensity or else you're looking at a minimum duration of gaming.. like maybe 1 hour at higher wattage usage

It's overall pretty good, definitely not for someone who can't operate a windows machine. There's some technical bits and bobs when first getting it watch a few YouTube vids on optimizing the device. Bad bits aside though it's an amazing machine I can play modded BG3 on high graphics with an average of 30 frames, unmodded same settings average of 45, it zooms at my 60 fps frame create cap for cyberpunk, the fans honestly are super quiet when it's on its turbo setting you can definitely feel the device heat up but the beautiful speakers drown out any fan noise and even with Bluetooth headphones or earbuds you can't hear the fans. It's got a headphone jack which makes it better than most flagship phones, Bluetooth compatible and you can use an external graphics card. All honesty get an external GPU for like 900-1200 bucks by this an external GPU that has a built in USB support and get a wireless keyboard and mouse set and you'll have a full desktop PC at half the cost, and you'll still be able to take the heart of your setup anywhere and it'll still give most modern games a good detail.

Compact and powerful enough for lots a good games, great option if you travel or need it on the go… just don’t expect it to be a full blown gaming pc, it does have its limitations, especially batery life if you push it to turbo mode.

What an amazing little device. Running AAA games at 30-60 fps is impressive. If youre familiar with windows customization is robust to tune settings. The only con is a physics problem. The battery life isnt great on this, and a battery bank is a must. A heavier battery in the device would be too uncomfortable.

Great for ppl with motion sickness. Expect to always be plugged in - esp for the extra performance boost, but it's an extremely powerful handheld - albeit with some quirks. No, its definitely not future proof, but for ppl who have nostalgia, or a huge list of games in their steam they have not touched/finished, this is great for that.

A pretty good handheld, and a steal if you manage to get it refurbished for less than 500. Can handle games like Doom Eternal decently, even emulation. Struggles a bit with UE5 games like Marvel Rivals, but I think its more an issue of the engine than the hardware. Moreover, it can also function as a backup PC if need be.

Very solid gaming device. I use it for all my retro games and modern pc. Mostly 720p with medium settings on the moat demanding, and runs everything up to ps3 great. Screen quality is very good with the 120hz 1080p.

Had my doubts based on reviews and the Lenovo Legion Go dropping but definitely glad I went with the Rog Ally. I love the screen size and rarely ever play handhelds with the controllers detached. Battery life could use improvement but its to be expected with a device like this running all these programs. 512Ggb isnt really enough to do much with. Consider an SSD upgrade to 1TB minimum.

Great for mobile use or when your the passenger shorter battery life rhan expected

This is a amazing product. I was able to use it right away simple to ugrade m.2 drive. Asus makes it easy once u have the latest bios up date done to down load the os image from the cloud right from there bios interface. Plays games it works for me the controller and everything. It runs very cool right out of box. Does not get hot. Diablo 4 runs amazing at about 60 fps at med seating for me. Has steam and xbox installed right off the bat.

Great device. Good handheld for starters. Z1extreme with 16gb ram is a step in the right direction. Decent screen. Loud speakers. All around big boaty

Its a great handheld . It performs well for majority of games i have tested but only flaws ill mention is the the thumbsticks , Feels like back in the old days of the ps3 controller very loose no tension on the sticks and also battery life not the best almost 1 hour but overall great handheld for those who have the money for it

Love this thing. If you know how to operare a gaming PC you should have no problem enjoying this device. Don't expect this to be as simple and user friendly as something like the Nintendo Switch. It's full Windows, so expect a good bit of setup and occasional troubleshooting. Plenty of power for its size. You'll probably want more storage. Thankfully it's simple to expand.

Great overall coming from a steamer deck this is more my style. Already had windows on steam deck but was a pain to manage. This just fixes those problems and has better graphics and can handle more games. Only issue is sometimes the updates happen while playing a game.

Best handheld gaming device! Does well with all launchers and runs games with perfection!

Right now this is the most powerful windows gaming handheld on the market and can handle most AAA games with no problem. The battery life is pretty bad, if you are running turbo mode, you can see your battery % decrease by the second. You have to put in some work to get the things working but this is definitely worth it. Wish the internal storage was larger but from youtube videos, it looks like its pretty easy to upgrade yourself.
