Love my ROG ally. As an older guy the screen is a bit small for me, but I found that using it like a portable game system and connecting it to tv or monitor is awesome. Just as powerful as a notebook but more compact.

Its the best handheld gaming device i have ever used. Perfect for demanding games and Perfect for retro and emulation. The system feels great and its design is beautiful. The rog z1 Extreme is a masterpiece

I picked up the console on launch day. I love the console, but there are a few issues. One, my SD card reader is not functioning. Two, I would love to dock the ally, but the only one which functions with the turbo tdp of 45w is Asus dock. That one is $65. Overall I've had fun playing pc games on the go. The screen is fantastic, wide color gambit. The speakers are some of the best I've heard on a hand held gaming console.

I. Love it! It’s basically a handheld gaming PC that runs Windows 11, so it’ll have its quirks when you try to get it all working in the beginning, but it’s pretty much smooth sailing afterwards. It’s not a gaming powerhouse, but that’s okay! I’m amazed at the graphics on such a portable device, and it’s super nice to hold. Battery life could be a bit better, but if you play lighter titles, it might last longer. Overall, I really like the ROG Ally :D

I'll start by saying I was a Steamdeck owner, I kept checking out the Rog Ally everytime I'd walk into my local Best Buy. The first thing I was sold on with the Rog Ally was the Asus Armoury Crate, basically its a application that lets you control all your gaming software from one place. Just one touch of a button and everything is nicely placed in one spot, also a big selling point for me was Xbox Gamepass could be installed (easily from the app store) yes you could install all these apps on Steamdeck but you would have to install Windows among other programs to make it work correctly. For most people this is impossible, Asus creating a Windows handheld has definitely made it easier from most customers to just pick up the Rog Ally and play. The system itself is very well made, the Ally feels like a expensive electronic. The button placement feels great, if your a person who loves the Xbox controller you'll be right at home with the Ally. The screen is beautiful, all games look phenomenal. The battery life is around 6 hours and that depends on your settings and how long you play. Asus offers a great dock so you can play you Ally on a big or small screen, you can also purchase a great Asus travel case that works great. Also the Rog Ally allows to expand the memory but overall most users should have no trouble having at least 8 games or more downloaded at a time, Asus also offers a great Cloud service so that opens up even more room for games. The end of the day I love my Rog Ally Extream, I would definitely pick it overall in the portable pc handheld world. My advice is to definitely purchase one, but if your still on the fence about it go to Best Buy and try the demo unit.

As a former steam deck owner, the Ally is awesome. It plays every game in my steam, battle net, and epic library. Not a single compatibility issue. The power is amazing, especially when plugged in. Screen is crisp, refresh rate is great, and the armory crate software is awesome and removes the annoying parts of windows. I highly recommend this over a steam deck if you are looking to do portable pc gaming.

It was a rocky start at first but after about 2 hours of set up and updates, its a really nice handheld. Also keep in mind to treat this like a pc not a normal handheld console.

doesn't have lots of storage and over heats. Other than that really goof

Although the sd card slot never worked, this has been the best purchased I've made on electronics in the last 5+yrs

Soo, crazy thing I did was sold my main gaming rig and got this instead due to me having a newborn and needed some extra room plus I don't have time to sit on my desk anymore not with a baby so this little handheld really has blown me away when it came mes to performance and portability. Just absolutely joy to play on this thing! It basically became my destiny 2/diablo iv/PC gamepass machine! No regrets at getting rid of my gaming PC. Good job, ASUS! If you're a gamer dad, I highly suggest picking one up and you won't be disappointed!

Very portable and powerul thanks to amds upscalling. Love the option to go from 720p to 900p to 1080p, it makes more intense games playable when utilized. Battery kinda tanks but for the price you cant beat it.

A portable powerful device. Acess to steam and microsoft/xbox store and others. It works great.

This console truly is amazing, i was skeptical at first but it really can do more than just mid-high level gaming. Once paired up with a mouse and keyboard, you have yourself a reasonably priced hybrid machine. Emulations and asus rog ally go hand in hand. If you get specific peripherals, it also turns into an amazing gaming 4k 60fps gaming machine. Besdies the battery life, everything else is amazing. You also have consistent firmware updates which shows promise of continued support. So far, I truly have no complaints.

The Asus ROG Ally is everything i expected. It runs better than the steam deck at higher fps with a better screen. However as expected with the power usage, the battery does not last as long.I will say that this is not meant for console gamers. This is basically a pc and this switching from s stea deck, xbox, switch, or Playstation will have a tough time figuring it out unless you know your way through a computer.

Solid performance for size. Great screen with variable refresh rate support. Really good use of Dolby Atmos on the speakers or with headphones. Really shines for games a few years old but can play modern games at lower settings at good frame rates. It is a full windows PC and does require setup like any desktop or laptop. Gaming on a PC can be a bit more advanced than consoles but this is well worth the tinkering.

It’s a nice little device that can travel anywhere with you. Runs well! Excellent quality!

Worked great right outta the box and set up was simple. Plenty of videos online to get you all set up. Prepare to tweak some things to get the most out of it and read up what you don't understand. Had it up and running in a couple hours. Runs games incredibly well, sound quality is fantastic, and has so much potential depending on how much effort you wanna put into it. Highly recommend for the patient gamer who's okay with lookin up how to configure everything to get the most out of it.

This device is my life. I use it for everything and bring it everywhere. It’s more powerful than I had expected it to be. The battery options are a lifesaver. When docked I set it to turbo and when I’m on the go I set it to quiet and the battery lasts longer than expected. I did have to send it in for support for the SD card reader. But it was repaired and sent back within a week.

This has been great so far for playing my steam library. It has no problem playing even the AAA titles with ease and steady frame rates. Also, love that I can play Fortnite with friends on their consoles. I would suggest purchasing an external battery in case your not next to a plug. The battery tends to dry up quickly when running on full power. I wish this was around when I was a kid, but glad I can enjoy gaming as an adult again.

Poor battery but great hand-held and really hot on fire
