Love this thing. I got it on sale and open box. Did a memory upgrade from amazon. It has handled anything ive played ark, nightingale and some fps.

Not bad, plays most games. Battery sucks so you have to be connected to power most of the times or get a battery bank and maybe get an extra 2 hours.

It is a very powerful and fun consle to play on in bed and on the go. The only problom is thr battery life

Hands down the best handheld ive had in my hands! Performance is next to flawless on just about anything ive thrown at it. Runnin just about every game ive played at 100-130FPS without any problems. Dont let bad reviews from reveiwers that obviously dont know how to use a computer lead you away from this! First thing you should do is hop into the AMD settings software and tweak settings to your liking and boom. this thing becomes a major powerhouse! have had ZERO issues with over heating, zero issues playing any game i could possibly want. Dont hesitate, snag one!

Great and handheld. The z1 extreme processor is worth the price. Battery life is mediocre, but has a great asus warranty as well

I mainly got this device to play my back catalog of games I own. This device will play any game I throw at it just fine. If not than I can stream it easily from my PC but I've yet to have the need for that. I get home from work and the last thing I wanna do is sit at my desk so this was the next best option. I was gonna go with the steam deck but my main catalog of games are spread through Steam and Epic. I don't wanna hassle with anything on Linux so Windows based handheld is the choice for me. It was a really close close close call for this or a steam deck.

I know there have been a ton of people claim defects and issues since day one, and this is my own personal experience, but i haven't had a single issue you yet** knock on wood*. There is a bit of setup that has a learning curve for anyone not firmliar with windows OS, but being a "PC Gamer" im not shy to jumping right into it. There have been no issues with the sdcard reader (I'm using a samsung pro plus), my entire steam library, epic games and gog with a copious amount of roms on it all run smooth. I have no regrets and have no intention of returning my unit.

I have wanted the steam deck for awhile and then followed the ROG ally news. This thing is a beast, its powerful, its mostly quiet, it doesn't run super hot, its comfortable to hold. Runnings full windows to some is a negative but the interface works very well when using the asus software. Battery life is about what you would expect running a portable PC. Diablo 4 for 1.5 hours took me from 100% to 54% (so approximately 3 hours) the charger though gets this thing topped off rather quickly. Oberall my experience has been super positive. Negative reviews seem to be based off the company vs the product. If you want a portable PC this thing is the way to go, the specs alone will make this thing relevant for years.

Blows my steam deck out of the water. As long as you treat it as a PC, as far as installing all updates, it has been absolutely wonderful. I'm okay with a 1.5 hours battery due to the performance I get.

Title says it all. You couldnt ask for a better all around handheld. Unlike competitors, you dont have to be stuck with certain OS to run certain programs. This thing is windows 11 and has he flexibility of running different launchers, such as Steam, prime gamin, etc. Only issue I have is that it doesnt have much official accessories made for it yet and it does get hot after a prolonged gaming session with it. Would be easily solved if they could make a fan/cooler attachment like what they have available with their RoG phones

Considering some mid tier GPUs are $600-700, this is a great buy for portable gaming. I'll probably mostly use it for emulation but it's nice to know I can play modern games on the go with 60+ fps.

Overall its a great device my only problem is the battery life isnt great thats all

Very nice handheld laptop. A few kinks I think they resolved with early bios updates. Battery life and overheating can be an issue if misused.

Really good handheld. Has been able to handle any game ive tried so far. My only complaint is that the sd card reader wont read my sd card.

Great device! Having already owned the steam deck, I was curious if this was any better, and it definitely is in ways that are important to ME. The handheld experience is similar to the steam deck with the exception being the ally has higher frame rates in certain titles. Where this device really shines for me is in docked mode, I was planning to build a second PC for my wife or when I have a friend come over, but I was curious about this device being able to fill that role. It blew my expectations out of the water! COD, Valorant, Valheim all play extremely well. My friend came over recently and we played rust for 5-6 hrs and it performed like a champ. I am very happy with this purchase.

I've actually played with it more than my steamdeck, Aya neo and Aya neo air combined. Just the feel and comfort also with its lightweight nature and the ease of tdp controls, controller settings, brightness with the reach of my thumb is very convenient, making my gaming experience a whole lot easier. I started with the Aya Neo 2 years ago so my personal experience with the battery compared to Ally is very acceptable. We are still years away in having the technology for battery optimization. Ppl should stop complaining about battery life. It doesn't even get that hot, if anything my Aya neo and Aya neo air runs a lot hotter and the heat dissipation is actually not bad. Please read manual before use.

I bought this “open box excellent” and it didnt work out of the box. Was stuck with the log in screen despite all the trouble shooting I did. Exchanged it for another one which ended up needing servicing 15 days in (so was unable to return or exchange). Got it working fine now. Its a bit of a finnicky device, but its able to play games well and can do a lot. Battery life is short so dont expect long sessions.

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.

I was able to get this on sale for $599. So far it has worked flawlessly and received a number of updates to improve its operation. Highly recommend its use for Steam Big Picture Mode, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Moonlight, Chiaki (PlayStation streaming) and Retro Gaming. With a dock it can easily be a solid desktop computer with similar specs to what you could get in a gaming desktop of similar price but you also get the option for portability or couch/bed play time.

i love it. its a handheld pc with just about any laun her tou could think of. only downside os the battery life
