    This device Is amazing for the price I got it for my only complain about it, is the short battery life but it's not the biggest deal. Id recommend this device to anyone who just wants to lounge around the house

    Powerful device, battery not that good. The device is top tier, it can be a good desktop replacement, not so much a handheld due to its battery capacity while playing.

    This is the perfect device for playing games on the go. I bought this specifically for playing Diablo 4 while im not at home and now i use it for other games and its the perfect size and weight. So glad I chose this and got rid of the steamdeck.

    PC gaming in your hand

    The ROG Ally is a great product but you have to come into the experience with an open mind. This isn't a Nintendo Switch that you can hand to your 9 year old and expect them to be occupied. It is a pint sized powerful gaming PC in your hand and it comes with all of the needs of a normal gaming laptop. Some programs will crash some will take some love to get working. If you have the understanding and interest the Ally will change how you engage with games on a level you didn't expect. I'm old as gamers go and other priority have ruined my ability to sit and enjoy gaming as I once did. This little machine has brought me back in a way I didn't think possible. It's amazing!

    After owning and using this for a while, I can say that it both surpassed my expectations while not living up to the hype. It is a good enough alternative and having a full Windows handheld has good enough advantages. I was left feeling that more could have been done. Windows feels clumsy on such a small display and actively having to use Windows at times was less than desirable. Restoring the system is workable but not entirely seamless. Would I buy again? Thats a bit debatable considering whats on the horizon and the annual tech refresh cycle. I don't regret the purchase and I can use it well enough for medium level gaming.

    Great handheld and quite the power house even after months of owning the device. Only issue would be battery life is rather short if you want to enjoy your game to its full potential.

    To put it in a nutshell, this is an amazing device that requires patience. You are not holding an XBox in your hands, but basically a Windows PC. With that in mind, your experience is not going to be as smooth as it would on a device that does not have the additional features this does since it isnt solet dedicated to gaming. This also is an issue since the form factor may have some thinking its something that its not. Lastly, the screen itself is worth the price for savvy users. It literally showed me the difference between different sources and how much the colors pop and everything looks natural. Im not even a videofile but its turning me into one.

    Been using this almost everyday since I got it, runs amazing. Was a little confusing at first but once you figure it out it isnt bad at all. My only complaint is the battery life.

    I've already sold me steam deck. I really liked my steam deck but I find myself playing on the rog ally way more... I've already played and beat a whole bunch of my old games that I thought I'd never get to... I really like playing at 120 frames.

    The performance is unreal, the setup was extremely easy, and the experience has been free of bugs besides a few very minor ones. The screen is bright and colorful, especially after tweaking the settings in the AMD app. I'm very happy with the Ally!

    Prefect little device for many different game/genres. I didn’t think, at first, it was going to be able to play the games I normally enough, but with the gpu, cpu and memory, this thing flies through most games with no issues. Asus has provided many different settings that will allow the ROG Ally to look good, even when playing at a resolution of 720p. It does provide the option to play up to 1080p, but I provide the higher frame, since it can get up to 120hz, for a very smooth gaming experience. So far, Asus has been frequently providing updates for this little beauty to address many of the issues people have been experiencing. It’s a sigh of relief when you know a company is listening to your concerns and helping to address the issues going on with a device. Overall, I’m enjoying my time with my ROG Ally. I give it a 30 out of 10!

    I really enjoy using this device when i am not able to play at home. I simply take it on the go and i can play any where. Being able to play some red dead 2 on the go is awesome. no to forget that you can play with high graphics.

    Works reasonably well, recent update seems to limit the use of the joysticks for some things. Some game compatibility isn’t ideal. I’d suggest looking around a bit on reddit or other channels for whatever games you’re intending to use it on to see how well it does or doesn’t work.
