Soso. Ok for gaming on the go.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ended up returning this. It was ok but you have to do a lot of tinkering with it to get a lot of games to work. First off the size is ok its a bit bigger than a Nintendo Switch. It is technically portable but the battery life is terrible. About an hour and a half max even playing simple games. My kids like playing Among Us a fairly simple game. They could play it on the phone for 5 to 10 hours but in this its still 90 minutes max. Second after a bios update it got real glitchy. That combined with the low battery life made the decision to return it pretty easy.

hell yeah
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is great. It plays most every game real well, it feels really comfortable in your hands, I've been extremely happy with it. Biggest downside is the battery. Playing it on the max settings, you might be lucky to get 90 minutes on the battery. Much more on the lower operation modes, but be prepared to charge.

Fun for any gamer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite the sd card issue, the device runs great and is extremely fun. Got me back into gaming. Easy to use and portable even for its size. Have a 2 yr old and gaming has been hard but this has allowed me to game with the little time available. Recommend

Great butt……….
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have a pc 100% recommended, but besides that I wouldn’t get this one because of the space. The games run great tho gta5 online and story mode on turbo fill 60 with some dips, indie games are awesome too.

AMAZING!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive been using this for a good week now and i gotta say I absolutely lovw this thing. Ive had no issues with it at all. Plays my games great but i havent played every game so be warned. I was on the fence about getting a SteamDeck and I saw this was announced so I thought id wait and take a risk and boy am I pleased. I already loded all my games and emulators on this guy and Im happy I went this route. Other than my nintendo switch this is my first handheld pc and I am completely satisfied. If youre like me and are new to this area you wont be disappointed with this device. Some games will need adjusting but unless you have a beast mode PC you might already be use to that. If you dont have a gaming pc already youll be learning how to adjust settings which isnt that hard but watch a youtube video or two and youll be just fine. This is my go to travel companion now and I leave my switch at home. I fly frequently across the US so I have alot of time at the airport to play. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into the handheld arena. I havent tried a steam deck but I prefer the full windows on my device. No issues and is updated frequently.

Beast of a handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing performance. Can play anything I throw at it. This is subjective, but I much prefer the ergonomics and buttons over the Steam Deck. Battery life sucks but it is to be expected from a device with a 40Wh battery than can reach over 40W of power usage in turbo mode. Would recommend to anyone that can actually use windows.

Has potential but…
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Light, portable, good looking with a built in finger print reader and excellent screen. However, the well known Micro SD overheating issue along with my unit frequently freezing made me return mine.

Pleasantly surprised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was actually surprised how well this runs games, I have played pretty straining games and it runs great. Speakers are good quality and can get loud. Doesnt get too hot while playing and the fans are quiet. Screen is very vibrant. All around great product.

ROG ALLY; Better than the steam deck?
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Personally i believe the Ally is superior to the Steam Deck in numerous ways. People that just want a gaminf console should probably grt the dexk, but people who want a portable gaming computer should defintely side with the Ally. The screen is so so much better and the better graphics processor is noticeably better as well

Love this device
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been heavily enjoying the ally since receiving it. Playing anything I was anywhere is great! I know some people are complaining about windows but i haven’t had any problems personally. Just a tip for some, the back left button and up on the d-pad will pull up the keyboard. Back left button and down will bring up task manager.

Asus rog ally EXCELLENT
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good runs most games and havent had any problems what so ever. Controls are pretty easy sometimes you need to do some key binds but other than that super simple. Battery does die pretty quick if you have all the settings turned all the way up but I just keep mine plugged in

Best handheld since the Gameboy Color
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is amazing. It is everything you need it to be. It's a portable console, laptop home entertainment system all in one. I do a lot of flying and I love that I can take it with me and use it everywhere. I know the steam deck can do a lot of the same but the Ally is a portable PC. You won't regret buying one.

Great Portable Device
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was always leary of getting the steam deck since at base it only interfaces with steam. Well this allows me to play everything from Steam, Game Pass and even DIABLO 4 out of the gate!! Battery life is NOT great even at 15w 1080P but i still love this thing and enjoy being able to play PC games on the go or even on my couch.
