Great device. Ergonomics are okay which the Xbox ally improves upon. Battery is okay as well for light games, but I'll usually stay plugged in for more intense games

Know what you're getting when you get devices like these. You can play and run almost about everything on here with the right settings and constantly update your drivers and software. Battery is not that great but i don't expect any portable pc to last longer than 1hr without settings adjustment.

Amazing. 0 sd card issue. 0 speaker issue. Intuitive game setup. I loved that this was windows over my steam deck with linux and proton this and update this proton for this or that bleh! If you can run a pc this system is fantastic. Better screen. Better processor. Better gpu. Better memory. Better ssd. Easily worth the extra money.

I am loving having the Ally. It has a very powerful performance with its different TDP profiles. The face buttons feel mushy in a good but the sticks feel kinda loose which I don't like but I haven't had any dead zone with the sticks. the D-Pad feels really good and works well with 2D games and works well for fighting games. the triggers feel excellent and the RB and LB buttons feel better than the steam decks. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is because of the software. Asus does a great job with it but Windows just doesn't feel like it was meant for a handheld but here is where the fun can come in. Because its windows there are so many things you can do to fine-tune the experience. From fine-tuning the TDP with manual mode to setting up controls for games you wanna play in armory crate is awesome. If you are someone who loves to mess with settings and discover things pick this up today!

This is an amazing gaming handheld. Every game ive tried on it worked and it has amazing preformace. The only two things that are not so nice about this is the battery life and the storage if your going to be playing aaa games

The heat issue on turbo mode from bios update which lead to ssd overheat in the process what lead to bring back but the device itself and concept is great! Once out for bit longer and main issues are resolved then will probably repurchase again.

Did some research and know the “known” problems but so far it’s been great, plays all the games I want and very portable. That being said wish the battery life was a bit better but for the size and power of the device it’s fine

While I ended up returning this in the end it worked exactly as intended. A pocket computer when you need it, a portable gaming device when you want it. The Armory Crate software worked pretty seamlessly, although it wasn’t without its bugs. The main issue I had with it was the battery life, though it was to be expected considering the specs that it has. Also you don’t get maximum CPU performance without plugging it in, which kind of defeats the purpose of a portable handheld device. Upgradable onboard storage is another plus, and with ASUS Cloud Recovery it makes the whole Windows reinstallation process relatively painless. There is also a microSD slot for those who don’t want to deal with reinstallation. Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap alternative to an entry gaming pc with the capability of taking it on the go for short uses.

Great for gaming on the go. Great performance on double AA titles and indie games. I use it everyday, and as a father of a toddler, the ROG ALLY is my go to whenever i get an itch to game. The portability allows me to game while watching the kid. Awesome buy’

Awsome little gadget but very little hard drive space. Great graphics!

Plays great. Way, WAY more power thans Steam Deck. Battery life is poor but no worse than Deck in reality. Being able to use Game Pass, Epic, and other stores without any hoops is a great feature. All-in-all a great device especially for the money.

This is a great system to bring with you when going on a long car ride or taking a vacation. It’s able to run most AAA games at low settings and Indie games perfectly.

The system works great, but the setup is rough. You have to go through many system crashes and re enter the same information over and over. Once you get the system updated then it works very well for such a small computer. I use with a 65” HDTV so screen size is not a problem. The onboard 7” screen is clear and easy to use but I am old and can’t see small stuff so well. All and it was worth the money.

I absolutely love my ROG Ally. I have ot and a steamdeck but i find myself going to my ally every singe time i go to play something at work or on the go. I carry both with me but the ally just looks and plays games so much better not to mention it does everything any other pc could do. It really is a pocket pc running on windows 11

Once you get it all updated and everything dialed in it is a good unit but I spent allot of time getting games to work. Luckily google was helpful on what needed to be changed for game settings in order for the game to even open. But once it worked it is an awesome handheld.

Amazing handheld device , can run a lot of triple A games without a problem and the speakers sounds so good!

Good handheld pc could use more storage but great pc overall.you can run heavily modded games easily..would recommend

A pretty good handheld, and a steal if you manage to get it refurbished for less than 500. Can handle games like Doom Eternal decently, even emulation. Struggles a bit with UE5 games like Marvel Rivals, but I think its more an issue of the engine than the hardware. Moreover, it can also function as a backup PC if need be.

This is my absolute favorite new tech gaming device. I have a PS5 and have not been able to play PC games for years due to having a family. This device now allows me to play both PC titles *and console titles...and being able to do it all MOBILE? I mean, come on. This thing is a powerhouse gaming PC that I can dock to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard anytime I want to use it as a PC or to more easily download or configure it. But when it comes to gaming, hand-held all the way! I really do love this thing. Only BIG advice to any prospective owner is download the software called 'StarAllBack' to change the terrible Windows 11 interfaces back to Windows 10 styling. Besides that? This thing is 10X worth its wait in gold! As far as accessories: Yes, I do think you should purchase a larger HDD to fit more games. Get yourself a 2TB HDD. There's more and more cases as well, which I do also recommend. Also recommend getting a 'dock' so you can use it as a desktop PC or plug into your TV more easily.

Great device,powerful to play almost any game, this is not the switch so at times it takes a little playing around with and battery life is not great. This is my only go to gaming device right now.
