    I have run Diablo IV on it as well as retro games through Steam assisted by EmuDeck. Such a great piece of hardware. I love that its full Windows 11 and can be tailored to your needs instead of being at the mercy of firmware updates from a single source. Armory Crate by ASUS is efficient enough and everything else can be handled in Windows. I recommend the $65 wall adapter that also serves as a go between for USB-C and HDMI. It is great if you want to dock the handheld from time to time. I’m seriously also considering thr external GPU for future updates to this portable gaming computer!

    Great device for on the go gaming. Good performance for the price. Battery life could be better but it's okay.

    I'm seriously impressed with the ASUS ROG Ally handheld. This thing is a game-changer, and I'm not even exaggerating. The graphics are mind-blowing for a handheld device – it's like having a mini gaming PC in my hands. And guess what? It charges crazy fast too. No more waiting around to get back into action. The controls are buttery smooth, and I've lost track of time just diving into games on this thing. Plus, the design is just top-notch. It's sleek, it's modern, and it feels great to hold. Seriously, if you're into handheld gaming, the ASUS ROG Ally is where it's at. It's like ASUS read our minds and delivered the goods. Fast charging, killer graphics, and pure gaming awesomeness – what's not to love?

    Ambitious but Needs Work

    Before buying the ASUS ROG ALLY, I was very confident that there would be some bugs/issues early on with the device. As a PC gamer, I was very intrigued with this product since it was announced. For the most part, the ROG ALLY peforms fairly well. However, the latest bios update provided by ASUS has cut performance by 15-25%. In many games, that is a massive performance hit, even at the lowest settings. There is also some issues with deadzones on the controls. I am worried because ASUS made a widespread announcment that the deadzone issue is equivalent to that of compeititor brands. A response like that hase very worried by how much adequate updates this ASUS product will receive. Overall, games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare have performed exceptionally well. Many games that do not peform very well such as Hogwarts Legacy are not at fault of ASUS but poor game optimization. The ROG ALLY surely has great ambiitons, but one just has to wonder, will ASUS do their part in porperly updating this down the road?

    Works well, but has some issues with using a controller, hasnt worked the past few months for mine, and also has trouble showing up on certain TVs when you use the HDMI adapter. So good for what it is, but can also be fickle and you don't really have a clue why

    One of the best purchases I've made in a while, if you're looking for something to travel or walk around the house and game. It works perfect. Also, if you get the dock it works great as a gaming computer.

    I've had my rog for about 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I'm not really a PC person - at least not right now - so getting a rog makes a ton of sense as my other "nintendo switch". I've also expanded the internal SSD so now I have approximately 2TB of storage instead of the original storage amount, and that makes a ton of difference! It does what it says and that's a wonderful thing. After upgrades and updates, I can control my mouse freely with my right stick and some keys - that's a nice little touch. If you happen to grab one that's open box but in great condition - like I did - it's 100% worth the money.

    Absolutely everything I wanted and more. Yes, the battery life leaves something to be desired, but I haven’t glitched out of any games. I have played Overwatch 2 online with no lag +60 FPS. Can’t wait for more!
