Powerful hardware. Great screen. Can play wide variety of games. Limited battery life

I already owned one and needed a second one for my brother. These things are awesome, and now they're cheaper than ever. I would definitely recommend for a portable PC that's even more powerful than most laptops

I love the way this thing looks, feels, and plays. It runs games flawlessly and using windows is very intuitive and its nice to be able to download games on xbox gamepass. HOWEVER… the battery life is abysmal. Youre looking at 1-2 hours of play time, even when playing games rhat arent graphically demanding and when you have all the internal GPU and CPU settings turned down all the way. It really puts a damper on the whole experience and makes me not want to bother to use it. Last thijg ill say is that if you get a dock and want to use this like a Switch, it is very clunky and reminds me of the Wii U days with how much youll be using the Ally to change settings or switch games.

I really like this device and the portability, its not as heavy as i thought it would be, but still feels very sturdy. I bought a silicone case for it and I actually prefer it without the case. Ive used it to play Diablo 4, Palworld, and Baldurs Gate 3 so far - all have run pretty great. So far I’m satisfied with this purchase

Workhorse of a PC. It’s basically a laptop in a handheld form. Windows could be set up a little friendlier to select what you need when in hand held mode vs docked. Just wish it had more RAM and battery life. The left stick was a little loose and I’ve already upgraded the SSD to a 1tb unit. A little awkward in the hand, could be more ergonomic hence my purchase of a grin to fit better in the hand and not cause cramping.

Great for mobile use or when your the passenger shorter battery life rhan expected

Ive had this and the steam deck and i must say this is way better and stronger. The screen looks great and feels very smooth with the 120hz refresh rate. My only complaint is the battery life isnt too great

This is a very powerful hand held PC, every single game i have played runs 100 percent, im very impressed by the graphics power and performance. I cant put it down, battery lasts little over 2 hours at mid settings but playing while plug in its easy and it wont bother me at all. Games looks great even at low settings to save battery. This is a must have

You don't need an Asus Ally, but if you buy one you'll likely be happy you did. This assumes you have some money, and every PC gamer probably needs some of the green stuff. I enjoyed playing Diablo 4 on my new Ally, and was happy to see POE boot right up in controller mode. Similar also for Don't Starve Together. Windows may have you using the touch screen some, and I haven't tried the free Bluestacks Android experience, but if you need it, it's there too. This is the begging of a new segment that I do think will have some staying power. You should expect games will run at 24-60 fps, and not at 90 or 120. You'll also likely only get around an hour and a half of battery power based play. However, the 45 watt charger will refill the battery quick, and all ports are on the top of the deck and out of the way if you want to plug in and run in turbo mode. Charger is USB-C, so you'll want to use Bluetooth or an audio cable if you need a headset and to charge at the same time. Screen is nice and bright. Vents are well designed to keep any heat off your hands, and speakers are similarly well placed and sound good, if you are using without headphones. Rumble is also a nice touch. Expect this to do anything a value gaming laptop can do. Price is fair, and is comparable or better than similarly configured current and coming competition. Buy this device if you're a PC gamer who wants to play on the go, with or without an Internet connection.

A solid handheld device. Performance is pretty high and can play a lot of the high quality games with good frames. Only lacking is the battery. Only trade off you are making is battery for performance, so you are getting what you pay for.

I love the device, even moreso because I got it on sale with an extra $100 off because it was open box. It works just fine, and had no cosmetic damage. The device itself is a gamechanger, allowing me to play my entire game library wherever I want. Battery life isn't great, but I knew that going into the purchase.

This has been a fantastic handheld for what it does. Always wanted something like this to come out to play my games AAA games on the go and stream my Xbox games. It has had some flaws though. Adrenaline software seemed to interfere with many games that may use battleeye anti cheat. This version of the ALLY that I received also burned up a few SD cards. New revisions of the ALLY seem to have improved the situation and ASUS is relatively quick with repairs. Storage is also lacking. Just a few big games will take up majority of your space. Overall I’m happy with it regardless of the imperfections. Can’t wait for a refresh.

I am so blown away with this. It's literally a baby PC. Perfect for traveling! It's not comparable to Logitech G-Cloud. I am honestly impressed! My only complaint is the battery life. You will need some type of power bank if you want to play longer on this platform.

AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor and 512GB storage offers a fantastic combination of great performance, portability, and stunning graphics. It's a machine that caters to both gamers and power users who need a versatile and travel-friendly machine without compromising on power and display quality.

Got this on an open box deal while working away from home and cant be happier with it. If your familier with operating a windows system you wont have any issues as long as you keep everything updated. Runs pretty much any game and usually get 2+ hours of gameplay on a full charge.

Basically plays whatever you want at at least 30fps nifty device. Speakers are nice and it's not uncomfortable to hold after a couple hours Not a fan of the d pad and joysticks aren't stiff which isn't necessarily bad but i prefer the feeling of something like ps3 joysticks, these feel loose in comparison.

Great platform. Pairing with a dock and adding a wireless keyboard/mouse, the device performs great. My only gripe is that it not only gets really warm(offset this with a dock with fan) and it’s vulnerable to malware/viruses. Aside from that, it is an awesome machine.

Feels great in the hand. I like the design. Good performance. However, it kept not reading my sd-cards. And Window's explorer would often completely freeze. In addition, the Armory Crate software, while having good features and shortcuts, wouldn't always respond. I read around and tried a couple other alternative software, like Handheld Companion, and G-helper. These seemed good but not as easy and then some of the physical shortcut keys (for example, launching software, or bringing up the keyboard) weren't working. I like the idea of these devices, but at this time I think a laptop with a controller is 100x a better choice. Sadly there don't seem to be any laptops with new AMD chips in this price range.

Never had a hand held before but i seen this one long before i bought it. Im a semi truck driver and i wanted to game without bringing the entire setup this did the trick the most demanding g a me i played was the new red dead redemption. Take some time to get use to the navigation because its literally a small computer and not a steam deck that limits you to only games.

Sorry this is one big paragraph I typed this on my phone. this device is really good. I love a lot that it offers. I feel it just needs to bake a little longer. Hear me out.... It plays almost my entire steam deck, epic, game pass, gog, etc.. you can also emulate with it (would say the steam deck is better here). I have noticed some severe frame drops on AAA Games.this can be fixed by fps caps and dropping res to 720 instead of 1080. Some game ui is well difficult to navigate due to the way armory crate works. This is going to be really great once they get the bugs and ui fixed (as long as they stay with supporting it) if you like your windows based games this is a perfect device for those long trips, outside, etc. It very much feels like a small pc in my hands. If you are looking for that console feel go with the steam deck. I have both and play both daily i will say this is a great buy for any hardcore gamer. But if you wait until the bugs are all worked out it might be better. Hope this helped at least one person trying to decide on buying it.
