The best portable Gaming PC. It has all the features I need.

Awesome device for streaming and playing games native. Needs a better battery life though it is horrible.

Love this thing run most of the games I want to play including war zone with no lag or issues

ROG Ally Extreme Z1 I got for my 14-year-old son. It's a game-changer for him. Not only does it have a sleek design, but it also delivers top-tier performance, allowing him to play all of his favorite games without any issues. The graphics are stunning, the controls are intuitive, and it handles even the most demanding titles with ease. He's been playing for hours on end, and the device never lags or overheats. It's the perfect balance of power and portability, and I’m happy knowing he's enjoying a smooth, immersive gaming experience. Highly recommend!

I liked that it came with windows 11 on it unlike the steam deck but the things i dont like about the rog ally is the fans are somewhat loud and sometimes the battery doesnt charge to 100% and it has issues turning on or off sometimes and the grip on it doesnt feel comfortable

This thing is a beast, highly recommend for anyone whos into potable gaming, has great resolution and alot of the games can hit 60fps while tweaking some settings, absolutely love it!

I bought the ROG Ally for my father. Its already setup and just requires a steam download to get going. He enjoys playing MW3 a lot!

Used - excellent... runs great with no issues. The Best Buy warranty is solid if needed. Picked up a 2TB SSD from Crucial for $64 on Resale too. Great combo. Runs Space Marine 2 and MW3 without issue.

Bought an open box product. Rog ally came with charger only no box or anything and was horrible condition. I cleaned it up and decided to keep it. I use it everyday. I love it.

Love it. Works perfectly, plays everything great. Better preformance than steam deck.

This is a very good handheld as long as you realize the power comes with poor battery life. You will have your regular windows bugs since its basically a mini pc. The price is very good for the power that you get. If you want an xbox handheld this is the closest you will probably get.

Love it! If you are into gaming, Gett this. I do recommend getting a mouse and keyboard combo that you can plug in using Bluetooth or a dongle. This will allow you to navigate like you would a Windows PC. The touchscreen is okay but if you are going to do a lot of personalization, you will want the keyboard/mouse combo.

This thing is great, i upgraded to a 2tb ssd, plays all games really well, easy to set up and play, plays every game i throw at it perfectly.

Overall it is a solid product that meets my expectations. I am using it as a portable gaming machine that I can plug into my 32-inch monitor at any time I would recommend this product but do remember this is not a high-end gaming machine, it does have its limitations.

The gadget i was looking for... This thing is a beast for gaming really had no issues so far... Love the fact i can sit in bed and just game... Saving my pennies up and uping it to a bigger ssd so i dont need a external drive to play all my retro gaming... But overall great device

Its great i get to play some of my pc games on the go!

This will run any game you want it to, great value for such little money

Having owned the Steam Deck and the original Aya Neo I must say with regret that the Rog Ally has not lived up to my expectations. I was looking forward for a replacement for my Aya Neo which I've had since the first orders of the Indiegogo campaign shipped back in covid days, but after just 24 hours of ownership I am leaning towards returning it. The biggest deal-breaker for me is the lack of a dedicated USB-C port so I charge the unit while transferring data from external drives. This is also the reason why I sold my Steam Deck. Because all my Steam collection is backed up to an external SSD and I am finding myself having close to zero battery left after restoring only a few of my backups which are 100GB+ each. The ASUS armory crate is also a major hindrance. Yes, I know I can always uninstall it, but I prefer having the option to cycle TDP profiles in-game without using something like Ryzen Controller. While it's open, I found many cases where I could not use the web browser because the hitting the enter key on the virtual keyboard would cycle through the TDP profiles instead of acting as the enter key (i.e.: opening URLs). Performance-wise it does not feel a lot faster than my Aya neo which has the aging Ryzen 5 4500U soc. In games like FH5, even with FSR turned on with 720p and medium details, I get major intermittent stutters while running at 60fps that make the game annoying to play. MSI afterburner doesn't even register then FPS drop, it is that quick, but it's like the game rendering stops for a few hundreds milliseconds. My Aya doesn't do that! Having Windows 11 on it is also a big negative, not Windows in general which I appreciate over Linux as my biggest game collection is on GoG. It took a few hours to get all the Windows 11 updates downloaded and installed, not to mention the bloatware (Office, Teams???) and the occasional popups that get in the way and typical for an adware OS. Then there's the battery, see above. It does have some good things going for it. Compared to the Aya the build quality is better, the screen is also better despite being smaller, colors are more vivid and the sound is more crisp. The cooling system is also a lot less noisier than of the Aya Neo which almost always runs at full speed when in-game. The BIOS looks to be straight port from a ROG PC motherboard version which is also very nicely integrated with the touch screen and the buttons. The screen is also native horizontal. On the Aya a lot of older games start in portrait mode and try maneuvering the BIOS menu or the Windows installer in portrait mode... all without any input support, yikes! I can not recommend it though. I was really hoping for a an alternative to the Steam Deck, or the Aya, but unfortunately looks like Chinese companies like GPD, Aya seem to make handhelds that better serve my needs.

I like using this when I am traveling. It has been great overall and no problems with it. I don't use it as often as I thought I would but that just comes down to me using a console when I am at home.

I love this portable handheld, I use it with a dock to connect to my TV and a wireless controller and I have a game console that will run windows. I also use the dock to connect a keyboard and mouse and I am able to complete work tasks as well. Highly recommend. Cant wait for ROG ally 2
