    Great device, runs well, only issue was buying it used. It was already registered under a separate account so I was unable to access all the features of the device. It also has an unexplainable issue where out of nowhere the right analog stick won’t register left and right movement, only up and down. Overall however, it is an excellent gaming handheld.

    Im a very dedicated gamer, i dont compete but its what i love to do. My primary gaming PC is very nice, 20 core CPU (hyperthreaded), 3080, liquid cooled, flashy lights everywhere. This isnt quite as nice as that. But for the price you pay its astonishing how much preformance it puts out. I actually bought this for my daughters christmas gift but of course i opened it and preinstalled all the windows updates and got her games ready. I tested several out and they run very, very well. Can i say in the longrun how good the battery life is, or if the joy sticks drift, no. But if it runs even remotely as id expect it to over time its an excellent baragin for the price.

    This little handheld is awesome. It played everything I threw at it with a few tweaks here and there with no issue. Unfortunately, it was a little small for my hands and it made them cramp after long gaming sessions. I returned mine for that reason alone. From what I understand the Ally X is coming soon with bigger grips so I returned and per-ordered that one. Hopefully it feels better in the hand.

    Device is amazing worked as expected. The SD reader died but that is now a know flaw from the manufacturer. Sent it in to Asus and it was repaired.

    I love this thing. It's taken some time to get it the way I wanted, but people need to look at this device as a windows computer first and handheld second. The same way you setup your gaming laptop is the way you will need to setup this device. Your going to need to setup windows, download and update all drivers, and your going to need to learn how to optimize windows for gaming. I really love this device I have been using it heavily every day since launch and it has worked flawlessly, no crashes, or weird issues. I have a steamdeck and this has replaced it. I recommend this device.

    So far is being good machine, except on turbo mode to be too hot, I really enjoy playing games on it. The sweet spot is to customize to 18 watts on playing games.

    It was rocky in the beginning with all the updates, but once that I have everything the way that I need it, I can't get enough. I'm playing COD on the go and this is all you need!

    I recommend the ally if u like to have the portability like a switch but like the play PC games I find it comes in handy whenever I'm out and about or if I'm busy doing something at like a DMV or something just connect it to my phone's hotspot and then I can play all my favorite games I can play on my computer

    For Game Pass Ultimate Subscribers, Emulator Junkies, and overall PC gaming geeks! There’s something here for every type of gamer! A must buy IMO. Windows 11 is sometimes a pain (be sire to keep it updated); but overall, its a known interface for many.

    Overall a great device. If you want a device with no restrictions and no compatible issues and with awesome power for a handheld then this if for you. just beware of normal windows problems. Don't expect to have a smooth console like experience with this device like the steamdeck. There are lots of pros with this device as well as lots of cons. Just be sure that the pros outweight the cons for your specific use case.
