Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it. Having seen the pre-release reviews i was nervous, but so far it has met or exceeded everything i want it to do. Just wish the battery lasted longer.

Once you realize what the device actually is and how to properly use it to its advantages, it is awesome and something gamer have dreamed of for decades. Paired with GamePass, you can take entire game titles offline and play them whenever, wherever you want. Hooked up to a monitor and keyboard/mouse and you have a small yet capable desktop. I would recommend trying one out to see how much it can do.

I have all the consoles, a desktop and a laptop PC so I'm familiar with gaming on Windows. The original setup is easy if you rememner it's a hand held PC. I recommend hooking the Ally up to a docking station to run windows updates, install steam, game pass etc. and after that you will be ready to roll. Price is great when on sale, and I hear the SD card slot overheats and destroys your SD cards. Those are my only reasons for 4 stars and not 5. Oh and yes it plays Modern Warfare III.

It's a "Pocket" sized gaming PC. I've even run Starfield on it at low settings but still looks amazing. It's not a desktop replacement however i did use it as a replacement during our super heat wave a month back so that my room stayed cool while i used the Ally with a KVM switch so i was using all of my regular peripherals on a 4k monitor/tv. Played all of the triple A games on it just fine albeit low or lower settings but it gets the job done. Price is reasonable since it's a full windows 11 PC and run an amazon dock with it. You will need a 100W power supply if you want to run it on an amazon/steamdeck dock (works withe very dock labeled for steam deck pretty much). 10/10 IGN

Other the the sd card slot being an issue, which i knew about ahead of time, i love this device. Plays anything i throw at it and feels great when holding.

Outperforms other handhelds like the steam deck and has an amazing screen. Only downside is not great battery life when in performance mode.

Impressive, a powerful, versatile and perfect console to play the best games, many options to choose from, and entertain yourself for many hours, and do other things (many, in fact), you have to be subscribed to Xbox, playstation or steam, but hey, nothing is free in life, and less good things. The battery lasts depending on what you are doing, it is adaptable, however the long charger gives you the opportunity to continue enjoying even if the outlet is not nearby. I just wonder. Why doesn't it come with a case or something to keep this amazing console safe when not in use. The bad thing about it; nothing, so far, A day it doesn't have enough hours to enjoy playing with. Many features I'm still discovering...

Thought a long while to chose this or the Steam Deck. I ultimately chose this because it was cheaper, but it does not disappoint. Very ideal to use as a portable PC/gaming device. Havent explored the full potential of it yet, but its well worth it if youre looking for a handheld gaming device.

This handheld came in great condition and is fantastic for someone that doesn't have time to sit too often like me. It's appropriately powerful and offers a multitude of options for modifications. All in all it's a great handheld and powerful computer.

Perfect handheld gaming machine. I have it with me everywhere. Powerful and portable. But you sure need to bring powerbank and you can enjoy your games whenever you go.

Got it open box. Great condition. Only giving it four stars based on the actual software. But you know what you’re getting with a windows device not truly made for mobile gaming. Lots of tinkering when you just wanna plop down and game at the most opportune moments when you don’t have much time. Aside from that you have access to all launchers as well as game pass, big time pluses to not be locked into the Steam store always.

Very compact but yet powerful machine. can pretty much run any game you throw at it. Battery life is not the best so expect about ~1 hour of gameplay.

I love this thing especially with the long commute I have, this offers hours of entertainment.

Initial setup is BAD. Keep in mind the the armoury gateway app and this product are new. After setup headaches aside, it is amazing to witness the fluid screeen and high perfomance this little wonder deilvers

Powerful and Portable. It gets the job done. But, don't mistaken it to be on par with an actual gaming PC. I don't game heavily so this is perfect for me.

Prior steam deck owner. Currently listing the steam deckok ebay. This thing is so versatile. Pair it with an xg mobile and it can be a main machine, plays vr, can do productivity work, and can obviously do handheld gaming. Speakers are loud and clear. Display is fantastic, though i wish it had oled because i love oled. Some folks complain about windows being clunky with touchscreen, this is true, however you can use steam big picture mode or playnite in fullscreen to launch games just fine. Definitely worth checking out. Oh and if white isnt your jam, just skin it. I got a camo skin on mine from m2skins. Last minor gripe, only one usb c port. Would have liked to see at least a usb a as well.

Its been a complete game changer. Being able to play current titles anywhere i go, it was worth every dime. From taking it on flights to playing Diablo 4 while on work trip. Absolutely recommend.

Wanted a portable hand held computer to play games and figured they this. Takes a why'll to setup because of lots updates. There's some glitches I'm it and have to be patient with some games to load. But overall very happy with it. Lots videos on how to twerk it and get beat out of it. Still lots to learn but if you want something to play games why'll away from computer or console I recommend this device. Hope on time gets to work as good as my consoles

Not 5 stars because of a glaring problem with the SD card. Reader does not work, this is a design defect which requires that the system be returned to ASUS to fix. Don't expect easy external storage.

It could be so much better. I’m giving a 4 because overall it is a good handheld overall and I like it over the steam deck. But it is buggy at times I have to reload games a couple times for them to actually load. Sound profile is good for a handheld device. And games look really good. I’m hoping they work out some of the bugs cause it is really a great handheld. And for the price it is a competitor to a lot of the windows based handhelds out there!! I am very satisfied with the Ally I upgraded the nvme and added an SD card and they do work flawlessly!
