This is the perfect machine for Game Pass on the go! I've been using it on each of my frequent 6-hour flights, and it's been a breeze to use. Battery life is on the short side, so I got a chunky power bank to almost triple it when I cannot plug it. Also, keep in mind that this is a Windows machine, so the first setup is a bit cumbersome with a small screen and no mouse, but you'll only experience it once, hopefully!

I have the steam deck and have played the same games on the rog and higher capacity games that even the steam deck cant fully run and i can most definitely say that this is worth it. Only downside is it dies pretty quick when it comes to playing high end games just like the steam deck.

It’s been pretty awesome having this all my friends and I have been playing hell divers too and fallout four on it. It is amazing. I’ve steam on it and I’m also able to play all of my Xbox titles on it. It is a fantastic portable gaming device and if you’re ever on the go or traveling, I definitely recommend it!

So I have had a steam deck since release, I haven’t wanted to touch it since this came out, it’s more comfortable to hold for long gaming sessions, the screen is way nicer, the quality can be left higher in most games, and the end result looks and plays at higher fps than my steam deck in almost everything, add to that it runs full windows so any non Linux comparable steam deck game is much easier to deal with.

As an owner of both the Steam deck and ROG Ally, they both have a perfect fit in my daily gaming needs. the 1080p screen with 120 Hz is perfect on the ROG. Call of duty runs really well and looks fantastic. It stays cool due to the two fans which I wish the steam deck had. I don’t like the back buttons on the ROG as much as I do the deck. Overall perfect for the price and it’s very comfortable in the hands.

Excellent piece of hardware! Some of the pro's about this device are it's form factor, portability, and the accessibility of it (it runs Windows, and therefore most games via whatever launcher/DRM is required is no problem, unlike other popular handheld gaming solutions). It's incredible how fast it charges with the included charger. Cons... Amusingly, also that it runs Windows. The core experience with Windows isn't well suited for smaller screens and no keyboard such as this device. This is easily mitigated by 90% of my time spent via either Steam or Launch Box launchers, and rumor has it Microsoft is working on a software solution as well. And of course there's always windows updates to have to install! In the nearly month that I've had it, I have been able to game more frequently than before, because of its portability. I picked up a couple accessories to help with that, including a large backup battery that supports 30 watt output so I can game with maximum performance even on the road. On the note of accessories, it is trivially simple, and supported by the manufacturer, to upgrade the hard drive. As a new device, accessory selection is pretty limited at the moment, but in the next few weeks hard shell cases, skins, and other replacements such as joysticks are due to be released. The 3D printing community has also created some interesting solutions such as customized back paddles, port covers, and stands. Bottom line, despite the price, I would highly recommend this device to anybody who is generally too busy to game, but misses it.

You need to know your way around a PC, this is exactly what it is. I haven’t had any issues with mine so far. This is by far the best handheld PC I’ve ever owned! FAR superior to steam deck, in my opinion. The screen and resolution is superb d/t high PPI. Even in 720p with RSR on the games look gorgeous! The 120hz and Freesync is a game changer. FYI: if you disable 120hz in armory crate then you automatically disable Freesync.

I didn’t expect to enjoy the ROG Ally as much as I do. It runs GTA V and Hogwarts Legacy super smooth, especially with the upscaling. I was honestly surprised how good it looked and felt on a handheld. It’s wild having that kind of power in something I can take anywhere. I barely touch my main setup anymore. If you’ve been thinking about getting one, just do it. Totally worth it.

I use this thing on a semi nightly basis. This thing does everything. A great bedside companion. Plays games well, just have a good power bank on you or an outlet and you'll be fine. Display is nice and it's way more portable than a laptop. Nice when it's paired with a monitor/TV and peripherals.

It is a great device with full access to muliple different libraries. The battery life isnt the best especially when you play games like cyberpunk 2077 but its the norm with these kinds of machines. The Veriable Refresh Rate really makes the difference between other hand helds the inbuilt speakers actually sound pretty good especially if you use Dolby atmos.

Amazing handheld gaming PC. I preordered and have not been disappointed. It plays well, but being a PC it only gets a few hours of battery life at most. This is to be expect for what it is. If I'm gonna be playing it somewhere and I won't be able to plugin a bring my power bank that has USB PD 3.0. I also own a Nintendo Switch OLED and the Ally is actually much more comfortable to hold although it is heavier.

I was debating between this and the steam deck after doing some research I decided on the rog ally, and I’m not disappointed at all. Ease of use was insanely easy was able to import games (which was mainly the reason for the purchase ) for steam gog epic and Amazon with no problems. Couple that and the fact it is basically a decent handheld pc emulation was a breeze to set up. Another plus was the ease in which the storage can be upgraded (in my case from a 512 to a 2tb ssd). ASUS provides tool to not only make the process seamless but operation to optimize the rog ally are literally at your fingertips (it has a touchscreen). Definitely glad I purchased th rog ally especially since I got it on my Best Buy card 12 month no interest. If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase a pc handheld the rog ally is a good way to go. Definitely consider buying a 100 w charger depending on the operation you are performing the battery will drain fast. Optimizing some settings (watched a couple of videos) help w the fast battery drain. All in all great purchase.

This little gaming PC is a beast! I am not a PC user and have used MAC OS most of my life and to be honest, it’s frustrating to do all those PC updates. Don’t expect this thing to work like a plug and play thing because you will need to do LOTS of updates for it to function right. (For beginners reference) You’re gonna have to update the 1. System 2. AMD 3. Armory Crate I had to admit it, it was a pain in the butt but once you do all of it, you’re all set. (Just need to check for updates once in a while.) I own a Steam deck OLED, because I hate doing lots of tinkering and I LOVE my steam deck but now, I find myself picking this up more to play if I am at home or somewhere I could plug it because this thing eats up batter fast and that’s a disadvantage. If you’re a player who loves graphics, PICK THIS UP. You won’t regret it. Refresh rate is 120fps you’ll get that smooth fluid graphics you will never get from the steam deck. (Well, 60fps vs 120fps is incomparable) LIMITLESS GAMING library. After I did an SSD upgrade I LOVE this thing even MORE. This is perfect for PC users but if you hate lots of tinkering and updating, get a steam deck.

I love this device! Does it have issues? Yes. Is windows far from perfect? Also yes. But overall this is a great little device, and its great to be able to play my games on the go. So far my experience has been overall pleasant. Set up was a pain, and I do get glitches now and then, but I still am happy with my purchase.

Great performance and great portability. It is easy to carry than Steam deck and have windows 11 running smoothly. With latest update of Bios firmware and software update, you can pretty much customize all config based on your need per game. I can set up 920p with 18w for Baldurs gate 3 and can run medium setting smoothly and play over 1.5 hr. Going to sold my Steam deck.

Im a console gamer. I have never play steam deck. I got one for myself and pick it up yesterday. All i can say is this handheld syatem made by asus was superb and awesome Cant wait to add more games and play. The only downside of it os battery life i hope in the future asus will get an update from asus to resolved this issue.

I've been using this for about 3 weeks now, and man is it great. I use it at work as I have several rounds of downtime 30-90 minutes long. It has been playing D4, POE, Battlefield 2042, and BG3 wonderfully. The screen is crisp and vivid, I have had no issues running at 1080. D4 I am averaging around 70-90 FPS, no stuttering, no issues. This thing has been amazing so far playing the games I like on a mobile device.

I really love the Asus rog ally. I had bouyit originally to play games. But found out you can do everything you can on a PC. Gaming performance is dang good, I have only played Diablo 4 and cod mw2 on it so far and both play extremely smooth. The controls are comfortable as well. The screen on the Asus is amazing! Games show off their bling and movies are great as well.

The Ally delivers into what is meant to do. A powerful mobile machine. I can take this thing everywhere, it’s a computer and console that plays runs and looks super smooth. I can’t wait to see what the future will bring with Asus Mobile devices. Excellent work here! Highly recommend, I’m a busy parent that can’t afford to sit for hours in front of a PC with this I can whip it out anytime and get some play time!

This device is great for gaming on the go. You should not expect this to play games on ultra settings. The battery life is hit or miss, and this not for non-technical. Highly recommend getting a technical friend to help set this up
