Not a best one but OK.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought both steam deck oled and this one. I highly recommend steamdeck. Screen was amazing. But battery was not so good.

Better than the steam deck.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The display is amazing. The speakers are loud and very clear. The OS is windows so don’t expect perfection since we’ll it’s windows OS. Battery life is so-so really depends what you’re playing. Also, if you put an sd card in it there’s a set up process so go to YouTube and find tutorials.

My review of the asus rog ally z1 ext
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty fun to use when you are bored of being on the pc or console, can run most games very well. If you got a pc you can stream your game to it so you can preserve the high fps with none of the being in a chair or at a desk to play.

Great handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Prob still One the best handheld pc you could get even after the release of the Xbox rog especially when you install the Xbox full screen experience that is the main selling point of the Xbox rog

A good alternative to the Steam Deck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I am really enjoying my Asus Rog Ally extreme but it's not perfect. Pros : - Runs games I play such as Fortnite because it includes Windows 11. - Driver support is very good out of the box because it includes Windows 11. - If you get the optional charger/dock, the Ally doubles as a portable PC. Cons : - The Ally uses Windows tablet/touch mode which can range from annoying to infuriating. In some cases you need an external keyboard to set things up due to the virtual keyboard. - Battery life is bad. Don't expect to get more than an hour and a half of playing something like Fornite with it on just the battery.

Handhelds are heading the right direction
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You get what you pay for, a $700 low/mid range PC with a great screen and not great battery life. There's potential for handhelds to go somewhere, but it may take bit before we get there.

Pretty cool stuff, but.......
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Asus Ally is a interesting device with a great deal of potential. It a full windows 11 experience. Unfortunately it's stuck between being a hand held gaming device and a PC. The Ally doesn't know exactly what it wants to be. Playing the menus will give you better performance, and battery life. You really need to come at this as a PC first and a hand held second if you want the most out of this. You can't treat this as a Steam Deck because that is a different beast all together. You can approach it as a gaming device first and some people are forgetting that. My biggest complaint about the Ally is the battery is garbage. There is some other nuances with the device that can be fixed with firmware updates. Overall I've enjoyed my time with the Ally.

Power in your hands
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device!! much more powerful than the steamdeck and loaded with features. Your entire Pc arsenal of games is at your hand. The biggest downside is the battery life but in all truth this feels more like a handheld laptop than a handheld console. Still, I would highly recommend.

Bang for your buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very powerful handheld, plays most games at decent settings. Good screen and comfortable to hold. It’s a very good option now with the newer versions costing a lot more.

The hand held king
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Superb gaming experience. Playing triple A games on the go is a blessing. I have a very busy schedule so the only way I can game sometimes is on a portable device. It’s more than worth the asking price. Phenomenal display, great refresh rate, armory crate is pretty awesome.

Works great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you need a hand or want a hand held this thing is a beast. Cyberpunk 2077 1080p on med settings and fsr balance, i get consistent 35-40fps. I can drop it to 720p and get around 55fps. If you tweak this right and run at 15w, it handles almost anything at playable frame rate.

This device is awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this device. The only issue is the storage and battery. I upgraded the storage to a 2TB ssd and it’s amazing. When looking at this product please know this isn’t a console it’s a computer and for a handheld computer it’s truly amazing

Overall really great

It plays game surprisingly well, and is super versatile being a windows pc. Just wish the battery was like 50% better, but it's still a great device.

Gaming PC in your hands with Steam and Xbox.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this for about 4 weeks. Great system that at first felt a little complicated, but now it's super easy. It's not just a console, but basically a gaming PC in the palm of your hands. I bought the HUB to plug the unit in and then use HDMI to connect to the TV. I play Starfield, Halo, and many other games. Starfield I've got running at 40 - 60 fps on medium graphics setting which looks much better then those playing on the Xbox. The best thing about this is you can play Xbox games and Steam. Just make sure to get an Xbox controller which I find aligns really good with this. If you are a gamer - note PS5 controllers will not work with Xbox app - although will with Steam (I learned this after such a headache not understanding why it wouldn't work despite being synced). I highly recommend this - it's terrific.

A great handheld could be better though.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the product AAA games in the palm of my hands. They could have doubled the ram and had a better battery and larger storage option on purchase but all in all I love my ally
