Oh man. After wrestling with the decision to pick one of these up for a few weeks I finally pulled the trigger and I'm glad I did. This little bugger is shockingly powerful. So far I've tested; Cyberpunk 2077 - I used Steam Deck presets then nudged a few settings up, even some light ray tracing. Consistent 40fps average. Like A Dragon: Gaiden - 50+fps with all settings maxed Baldur's Gate 3 - mostly high settings with a few things bumped down, plays great. Cutscenes look as good as they do on my desktop. The Witcher 3 - can do high preset with no changes or ultra with a few things bumped down to med/high, consistent 40+fps. Don't even touch ray tracing, instant sub-20fps. All in all, this thing is a beast. My only complaints so far are with the controller; buttons sometimes stick a little bit (they might be a little loose in the case) and the sticks feel a little floaty. Very comfortable otherwise.

I think its a perfect size. Not to bulky easy to hold even when laying down. Simple as using a pc. Highly recommend.

Great device! The only downside is being 512 gb Runs all the aaa games and good fps

I like the ability to play Steam games and other platform games, great graphics all for a reasonable price.

I travel quite regularly and initially purchased this to use while traveling, however, I quickly realized that this small device is quite capable at home as well. The screen is small, so when a prompt for a game pops up it may be difficult to read the available actions or responses. I have recommended this to a couple of friends who have had laptops fail recently as an alternative to an expensive laptop. Obviously, it is not going to be a powerful, workhorse gaming system, however, it is very capable. I have used this plugged into my 49" widescreen through a KVM and even there it has been very capable. Last thought, plan on buying a larger hard drive since the 512GB it comes with is not very large.

Way better sceeen than the steam deck, way better color accuract, saturation and contrast. Performance is about 20% better than the Steam Deck at the same 15W power usage. The software side is still a bit buggy but shiild improve overtime

lovely light weight handheld and requires a lot of time to tweak by hand. This is not a steam deck if you learn how to tweak you will get better performance and better battery life. Here are some example: A typical AAA game requires at leart 25w to 30w power to run 6o fps. But you will see the device struggles to balance the power between cpu and igpu. You need to learn how to lock your cpu and igpu frequency. For most of the AAA games, a good setting shall be cpu: 2.5 to 3ghz, igpu 2ghz. A medium or low setting game usually targets 15 w power. You shall set cpu to 2.2 to 2.8ghz, igpu 1.4ghz. A medium 2d or light 3d game shall target a 10 to 12 w power. You shall set cpu to 1.5 to 2 ghz, igpu 0.8 to 1.0ghz A light weight 2d game target 7 to 8 w. cpu 1.5 ghz, igpu 0.6 ghz. And if you limit the fps to static 60fps or lower, you should have a smoother and battery saving experience.

This device is awesome if youre into PCs. If your a console player this might not be the device for you as this can play games but do a whole lot more than that. Its pretty much having a gaming laptop but in a handheld portable form factor. I love that it runs windows out of the box and when add a mouse , keyboard, monitor, its a full on PC. Since this is a full on pc its not plug and play like a console or like steam deck or switch. This device is in a leavie of theor own Upgrades are coming daily to make this device run the best possible. The reason im not goving it 5 stars is that it cant run batocera for all my emulators when every single PC i own can, even a 10year old PC. They need to fox this asap and ill update thos reciew to 5 stars. switxh and sd. This device in its own league. I waasa

So far, I've had a blast playing games on the go with the ROG ALLY. The storage is deceiving for how well it runs, and when it comes to the gameplay and comfortability in game, I enjoy playing all sorts of genres like racing, RPG, Shooters and basic just drawing and graphics. 10/10 would recommend.

As a handheld lover I have put tons of hours into this device. The battery life and SD card issue leave some things to be desired but Ive had very few issues with this thing.

Bought this for my daughter. She uses it more now than her Xbox. Easy to connect controllers. Steam works great. She used PS remote play from another network than the PS 5 and experienced no lag. Excellent system.

For their first handheld PC I’m very pleased with the performance from this APU. Anyone complaining about performance is obviously not familiar with APUs. This is extremely powerful for what it is. Would I use it as my only gaming device NO. I have PC for that but to be able to pick up where I left on from my main system is worth it in itself! I’ve been running Red Dead Redemption 2 at 900p low setting (ultra textures) and stay at around 35-40 fps. The game still looks great on such a small display. All in all not really worth it if you plan to make it your main gaming device (at least for newer AAA titles) but for older less demanding games this will crush whatever you can throw at it!

Plays great, for a short period of time. AAA titles will give you roughly 1-1.5 hours of playtime, so far so good! Typically im playing during my lunch break and an hour is just the right amount

What the rog ally does with windows to make it a portable experience is really good. Like all new things it takes time to get used to. I had a steam deck when it first launched, enjoyed every bit of it. Yes some things you cannot do on linux but it was still a great experience. Now going to the ally for the first time as a windows user was so easy. They really took some time and polished the handheld experience on windows. I would say if your a windows user, then the rog ally is simple to get started with gaming on windows on the go.

Pretty much a compact gaming computer. Display is unbelievable. Some issues with built-in controls on the more processor involved games. Going on vacation with me. Only draw back is battery life

If you know what you’re getting into this device is perfect! Plays PC / Xbox games (but being a PC it may take some effort for best performance) Think of it like buying a gaming laptop but more affordable

Super powerful handheld! Love that it has full blown windows 11 on it. Plays Resident Evil Village, Borderlands 3, and Final Fantasy X and X-2 like a champ. Only complaint is the battery life, but thats not enough for me to rate it lower, i love the thing. Beats the heck out of the Steamdeck

pretty good. not the best battery life but good quality.

it’s great love playing games on it! Would definitely recommend and would buy again

The Rog is good. It has good quality, the performance is great, good battery life. Can browse the internet with no problem, I recommend to everyone.
