A powerhouse!!! But still pricey
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plays diablo 4 with ease! Maintains 50-60 fps at medium setting while plugged and running on turbo. Also you can use it as a personal heater lol this unit can put off some heat!! Fans a pretty quiet though

Impressive, but expensive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite the bugginess of the software switching between modes when the gamepad is set in automatic mode, its immensely impressive for a handheld but the price does not make it a steal.

Great hand held PC
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent handheld. I love it being a full Windows PC as well, makes it very easy to manage. I've had no issues with mine. And now I can play Diablo 4 anywhere instead of being stuck at a computer desk. Graphics and performance are great, screen is very crisp and bright.

Best worst idea I randomly had.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a generally fun unit to use. Just be ready for it to not make sense 70% of your first 700 initial uses. Especially if you have kids whom you've used your personal email to set up gaming accounts on other devices to ensure they have access to gameplay. You may find yourself with a brand new unit ( second one cause the first one straight up overheated at the first startup) that is linked to your kids account and you have no idea how to remove it. When you finally do....there's still a lot to do. Then you find out it really doesn't link to PS5 games which.....cmon. But you can download Steam and EA among other things. But you never had plans to do that. So you do. Hey! Fallout: New Vegas??? Ok, I'm in.

A literal gaming laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a return but the only issue I see with it is that the buttons aren’t as sensitive as I’d like (and I’m not sure if that’s cuz it’s a return or if the buttons are just like that) Otherwise, I ABSOLUTELY love that it’s just a Windows machine in a fun skin. I’m even able to work on it lol it definitely has a learning curve and isn’t plug and play like a Switch; again, it’s a Windows machine with Windows OS on it. They didn’t even slim down the UI to make it feel more “hand held” like it’s just a PC. I’ve had no problem running any of my games even at their highest settings but the battery is a little short and it physically gets pretty hot (think like an old laptop from 2013)

Excellent Gaming Device and PC
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ally is very competitive gaming device with very good gaming capabilities. The storage should have been 1 Tb or higer as 512 GB gets filled up with just 5 to 6 gamesh.

Strong and portable.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought my rog ally z1 extreme used in good condition and i could swear that it was brand new. The portability and power make for a great combo. The speakers have great range and volume also.

Worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great device Asus finally stepped up and the latest updates make this thing great. Definitely factor in the SD issue problem though because I believe it is hardware related.

Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love my ally. It plays all my games beautifully. I have had some issues with it running hot, or sometimes the controlls glitching. Other than that it is an amazing device, I just wish the HDMI port was included instead of having to buy it separately.

Rog Ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best handheld in the market right now. I like how the rog ally preforms and how a powerful it’s but the only down fall is the battery life. But it’s still my favorite device so for when it come to a portable gaming device.

Amazing device!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome handheld for that gaming session that cant wait while nature calls. Unplug, take it with you, finish that dungeon, wipe and done! Good specs for a few bucks less that other Windows handhelds while being a few bucks more than that OtherOS handheld gaming device.

A great gaming Ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its amazing how the Ally has the gaming chops of much larger gaming built PC's but in a portable form. I've been playing Starfield and Cyberpunk and they both look and play great.

Very content!
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really enjoy everything so far about the Ally. It’s doing everything I wanted it for. It runs Fallen Order and Baldur’s Gate at a playable FPS. Only thing to bare in mind is the battery life could be better, but that’s about it

Amazing portable gaming pc, but low battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The performance is undeniable, but its small battery does not make it great mobile device. If you don't mind always being plugged in a wall outlet or are willing to carry a big power bank with you at all times I would not recommend it. But that is it really, the device is cool, and impressive. It does require a lot of tinkering but it’s a windows pc so that’s expected.

It is very suitable for me.

Great product, but needs better quality control
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Arrived just in time. Screen looks amazing, great performance and easy to use. I loved this devices, but it had a sticky X button that was getting stuck all the time. Besides that everything worked well.
