Great quality and performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performs very well, nice to not have to check compatibility …can play all my PC games. Feels more solid than switch (probably due to lack of detachable joycons). 512GB isn’t much, so I immediately upgraded to 2TB SSD and 1TB micro SD.

Such convenience!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having a handheld PC like this has been great! In the home i stream games too it via Moonlight and with wifi 6 and AV1 encoding/decoding the latency practically non existent! Outside the home being able to load up FFXIV when im on wifi has been a game changer! Offline games are of course much easier to deal with. The other day inwas at Disney world and while waiting for a show i was able to quickly check my retainers in FFXIV and send them on ventures! Loved that. Playing lying in bed, fantastic, the Z1 Extreme is wuite powerful, and Asus has been committed to improving this device which is fantastic!

Runs hot.
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to play windows game. Would jump to 100C when running user benchmark. Thermals are very tight in this form factor. I would love to have windows 10 installed instead of windows 11. For what it is, it’s worthwhile. But battery last way too short to really be a functional on the go gaming handheld.

Very capable handheld gaming PC
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Device works great, quick and easy in-store pickup. I got it to replace my LCD steam deck, and the performance gains have been noticeable, especially using the Turbo mode with an increased VRAM allocation. Though a bit awkward on a handheld device, I have appreciated having the Windows 11 OS as it allows me to easily do a lot of the non-gaming tasks that I normally have to do at my desktop PC at home.

Great if you know what to expect.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are computer savvy and know what you're getting into this is a pretty solid device. Preforms games well but it gets hot. Really warm. Design was done well and I question some of the layouts. Windows is a weakness and a strength. If you know how to navigate a PC you'll enjoy tinkering to get things working. If you want something that just picks up and plays, get a Steam Deck or a Nintendo Switch. Also, don't buy a MicroSD card. It will fail from whatever reason. It's the main reason there are so many returns of the ROG Ally. ASUS needs to do a recall and fix it.

Gaming on the go for a PC gamer

I Returned the Legion Go for This
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought a Legion Go and returned it to buy this. Main reasons I prefer this over the Legion Go/Steam Deck: Runs Windows (vs Steam Deck) 16:9 resolution (vs Legion Go) Button layout (vs Legion Go) Much lighter (vs Legion Go) The Legion go had some significant problems running some games because of the odd resolution. The screen is nicer, but that doesn't matter when it can't play the entire library. The games that did run well had control issues because of the strange button layout.

Hands Down The Best Handheld Device Available
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love it. It is a more than capable gaming handheld. The sd card area does get rather warm though. It makes me worry about its viability. Other than that, i would most definitely recommend.
