    This thing is insane. Triple a games on the go… Sort of. I mean the only issue I have is the battery. To get 30w turbo mode you need to be connected to a cord.

    I have owned the Asus Rog Ally Extreme for over a week. I previously owned the Steam Deck Oled and have been curious about the ARA Extreme since its release. I was on the fence about the ARA because it is a Windows device and battery life. First off, the battery life of the ARA is not great but is comparable to the Steam Deck LCD version. The fan noise is a lot quieter than the Steam Deck OLED and I like that I can control the performance, CPU, etc. I love the color, form factor, and screen. I feel that the device is just enough for the casual gamer that I am. Lastly, Invest in a portable battery for the device. I recommend the Anker 735.

    Awesome knowing its a computer so small to hold but battery doesnt last long it has to be plugged in after 40min, not enough time for gaming away from a wall plug.

    This is a solid handheld device! I ended up buying the legion go, steam deck go and the ROG ALLY. I tried them all out and even though I did like the screens on the others the performance on the Ally was what caught my attention. I've been playing Starfield with no issues, the Go and Steam deck had a jumpy screen and after a few minutes I had to stop. And once you install the Steam app you are good to go. Memory wise you will need to be cautious as it only has a 512GB harddrive. Storage will become an issue. I plan on adding 2TB card but not till i actually need it. My vote is on the Ally if you are trying to decide which one you will be pleasantly suprised with the Ally!!

    I only had this device for 24hrs and noticed it's been getting mostly 4 stars reviews. Even though it's been only 24 hours. This device isn't 4 star device. The power drain when playing higher spec games is a thing. If you don't play with the specs to change that. The storage isn't that much if you're planning to have those games stored on the device. Now i purchased a M.2 2330 2tb NVMe storage to replace the one included. I purchased Anker 737 power bank. With those two things those 4 stars review would become 5 stars. I only had it for 24hrs so i'll let the other reviews explain the other aspect, but with cloud gaming, pc gaming and emulating gaming. This is the future consoles of gaming here. Give it a shot or wait to the big name players to catch up.

    As far as gaming goes, this device is a must, The quality and performance is on another level. The only draw back is the SD card issue that I hope gets fixed by Asus.

    I love it so far, i enjoy every si gle AAA game ive played on the rog ally, other than having problems with the R button on one of a few games. The battery is a big problem for me on this one, i also own the steam deck and the battery is better personally. But on this part on the rog ally j love the fact that i dont need 3rd party software to play certain games. But ither than that i love it, in my humble opinion it needs more time and updates, as of now and sadly i am hoping for a powerbank to give me a little bit of extra juice. Ps:materials do feel a little bit to cheap, analog sticks,buttons and shell.

    This device is great! It's portable and small plus the fans are not loud. I just wish the battery life was better and that there were protective cases available.

    the ROG ally is amazing. I can hang out with my wife where ever she is and still be able to play my ever growing game library. I'm in school 12 hours a day 5-6 days a week and I found that I was not allowing myself anything that I enjoyed. This has allowed me to get back into one of my favorite hobbies. IT IS A WINDOWS COMPUTER. That means you will have to tinker with settings, deal with bugs, and still sometimes get some headaches. It is not plug and play, but if you are used to PC gaming this is a tremendous tool in your toolbox. I was mourning the money I spent at first, but after 2 hours with it playing cyberpunk on my couch while my wife watched tv as we chit chat made it all worth it.

    I used this device on a recent 10+ flight. On performance mode, it got me a good few hours of playing time. I attached the usb charger from the airline seat, and although slow, added additional playing time. The controls were good, although a little uncomfortable holding up the device while playing. It really helped pass the time on a long flight. Being able to use this as a desktop computer also helped a lot while on vacation. Not sure I will use this while I'm at home, but definitely has huge advantages on the road. I played Titan Fall 2 on this trip and had no problems with the game. It played really well.

    I absolutely love this machine. It is a handheld powerhouse. If you are into PC gaming and want a handheld then buy this machine. Sure battery life isn't fantastic but what do you expect running such a robust hardware cpu?

    Easily one of the better purchases I’ve made in a while. Easy to setup and game right out of the box. Can play lots (but definitely not all) of modern titles. Only down side is poor battery life depending on what you’re doing. But if you want a powerful gaming handheld this is easily the one to grab.
