    Perfect On-the-Go Gaming Device

    Great little device for on the go playing. I was skeptical at first due to the early reviews, but the firmware that came out prior to release seems to have fixed a lot of the issues. Pros: + Great performance + Controller has good tactile feel and is responsive + Overall better grip and comfort compared to Steam Deck + Excellant picture quality with vibrant colors Cons: - Takes a little work to get controller profiles setup for some games - Windows needs work for this style of device, this is a handheld not a desktop device - Wish it came with built in 1TB storage, although you can also use Micro SD (UHS-II) cards for additional storage.

    I tried my friend steam deck and I thought this was way better. Smaller than the steam deck fits in the hands better and pretty manageable. I highly recommend the dock too. I'm able to hook up the TVs and monitors and all sorts of things. I believe this is using the newest AMD Ryzen extreme mobile chipset based off of the smallest 3 nanometer manufacturing technologies possibly by TSMC. This thing performs better than my 3-year-old alienware laptop. I highly recommend getting a one terabyte card because you will be playing AAA games on it and they take up a lot of space. Just like PC or Xbox or PlayStation 5. But if you're looking for it all in one solution and need a new computer it runs on full windows 11 with optimization and custom software by Asus which is very good really helps with the interface

    Awesome handheld, but battery could be better

    I really like the ASUS ROG Ally — it’s powerful, smooth, and runs most games surprisingly well for a handheld. The screen looks amazing, the controls feel great, and the performance is solid even on higher settings. However, the battery life is definitely the weak point. It drains pretty fast, especially in performance mode or when playing AAA titles. Still, if you’re okay keeping a charger nearby, it’s an awesome little gaming machine.

    Love this thing, plays older games at high fidelity and newer games at medium fidelity. Battery and storage aren't the best but easy to upgrade.

    This thing is great! Generally getting 60-70fps on medium settings for most games. Have played Halo Infinite, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Need For Speed, and a few others with great results. Depending on the wattage you’re using, the battery life can be pretty short (I’ve been seeing just under 2 hour times), but the 65w charger gets this thing fully charged in 60-90 minutes. Important to update the drivers manually from the Asus website (Armory Crate doesn’t find everything for some reason), but once that’s done, this thing hums. I cloned and replaced the factory ssd with a 2tb ssd to make more space for games without needing to mess with micro sd cards. It was a super easy swap. Love how repairable this thing is! Overall, would recommend.

    The screen, speakers and performance are better than I thought. There are some bugs need to be fixed. User experience in docked mode is not good. I like the overall design but if there is a gen 2 in the future, I would love a second USB-C

    I love the fact that its practically a portable computer and just with a hotspot from my phone I can play all my games on road trips and at friends houses. The only issues is the mirco sd slot not working after 1-2 months but I found a work around for it so im not concerned.

    My entire life I've only been a console gamer. I've wanted to build a PC, but as I've gotten older my time to dedicate to gaming has decreased. The ROG Ally was the perfect thing to be able to play games that are on steam and PS5 that I can't on my xbox. I have owned this for about 6 months now without issue. If you're looking for something to take on the go and scratch that PC itch like I had, look no further. I would recommend upgrading the SSD to 2 TB which I did as soon as I unboxed it (super easy to do). If you plan on playing on the go, you'll definitely want a powerbank or access to outlets.

    An amazing device, I could play any game from any launcher and it was gorgeous. However, the display stopped working and I fear the RMA process. The device is only worth the gamble if you don’t mind the price. Pros: lightweight, ergonomic, highest-class performance Cons: drains battery, could fry SD cards, unfixable when design flaws show up (and replacements aren’t guaranteed to be better)

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
