Handheld gaming computer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome knowing its a computer so small to hold but battery doesnt last long it has to be plugged in after 40min, not enough time for gaming away from a wall plug.

Best handheld gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it ! I like the system and it connects to my steam library. Im able to change fps, and all those specs as needed. Battery runs out in 2 hrs at lowest settings with battery saver. The system charges fully within 1 hr. Good for light and occasional gaming. I ran ff7 remake on lowest setting and graphics were still impressive !

BEST PURCHASE
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't talk highly enough about this. I have a Switch but ever since I started playing more PC games, I have wanted the ability to continue to play those games when I travel. Now I can put more hours into No Man's Sky when I am away from my desk. This has been the best purchase!

Good when windows not wonky
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome performance awesome screen. Just it is on windows no fault to it but just not as seemless as a steam deck. If you’re comfortable with windows it’s a home run

Rog Ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As far as gaming goes, this device is a must, The quality and performance is on another level. The only draw back is the SD card issue that I hope gets fixed by Asus.

Really good almost great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good device, it's not perfect but it works great. There are times when it's clunky to use for typing but the more you use it, the easier it gets. I found using either reddit or asus for the recommended game settings gives the best results. Following those settings can make the difference between keeping and returning the device. The last problem is it should come with a 1tb hard drive. The 500gb fills way to fast. I would only purchase the extreme version and highly recommend purchasing a larger hard drive.

Accessories = 5 Stars
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only had this device for 24hrs and noticed it's been getting mostly 4 stars reviews. Even though it's been only 24 hours. This device isn't 4 star device. The power drain when playing higher spec games is a thing. If you don't play with the specs to change that. The storage isn't that much if you're planning to have those games stored on the device. Now i purchased a M.2 2330 2tb NVMe storage to replace the one included. I purchased Anker 737 power bank. With those two things those 4 stars review would become 5 stars. I only had it for 24hrs so i'll let the other reviews explain the other aspect, but with cloud gaming, pc gaming and emulating gaming. This is the future consoles of gaming here. Give it a shot or wait to the big name players to catch up.

Sick!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sinister device! I use it for media playback and of course gaming. It can run any emulation of any console and even handle AAA games. Star Rail runs like a dream. Great idea on me to buy this.

I definetly love it, but..there is a but...
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it so far, i enjoy every si gle AAA game ive played on the rog ally, other than having problems with the R button on one of a few games. The battery is a big problem for me on this one, i also own the steam deck and the battery is better personally. But on this part on the rog ally j love the fact that i dont need 3rd party software to play certain games. But ither than that i love it, in my humble opinion it needs more time and updates, as of now and sadly i am hoping for a powerbank to give me a little bit of extra juice. Ps:materials do feel a little bit to cheap, analog sticks,buttons and shell.

Powerhouse
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this machine. It is a handheld powerhouse. If you are into PC gaming and want a handheld then buy this machine. Sure battery life isn't fantastic but what do you expect running such a robust hardware cpu?

Ally= hours of fun!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ally is an awesome on the go pc. As well as it works great as a midrange pc if you purchase the power cord that has the hdmi. Then you can run it with a monitor with mouse and keyboard. Pretty awesome!!!

Awesome for gaming on the go!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The first one that I purchased was an open box excellent, I returned it the next day as it wouldn't power on unless plugged in and even that was spotty at times. That made me lose faith in the open box so I just purchased a new one and it has been awesome! I can play any game I want at a reasonable frame rate (60fps) as long as you tweak the settings and the visuals are great. My brother who doesn't even game has played this for about 10 hours over the past week that we were together and is now going to buy his own. From what I've heard most open box experiences have been fine so mine may have been an isolated incident, I'd say it's worth a gamble with the best buy return policy and if you get a dud then just go for a new one.

Great device if you can get it on sale
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good performance, great screen. Runs silent. However, since the screen is 1080p I seem to get similar performance to the SteamDeck @ 800p.
