Nothing but good
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the ASUS rog ally because it can play more of the games that I own than the Steam Deck. It's not the huge leap in oerformance over the Deck that i was hoping for, but its definitely better.

Best handheld ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best hand held device ever made. A few flaws with software that can be worked on by Asus. But its just amazing. Triple A games in your hands at 60 frames.

Best Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ROG Ally is the best handheld I ever used. The screen is so crystal clear and games look amazing on it. You can play all your games on it and this is why I got the Ally over the Steam Deck.

Worth it!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very powerful handheld I had an easy process setting it up idk if it’s just my unit but everything just works seamlessly and smooth. Worth every penny it’s playing games my steam deck couldn’t play.

My thoughts on the Rog Ally
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned my Steam Deck back to Valve and bought this from Best Buy other than it getting stuck in Transit longer than it should of because of FedEx not Beat Buy I do highly recommend this and love it I just wish the battery was better, but that’s mostly probably because of resource hog. and I haven’t updated the storage or SD card just yet plus other accessories yet but I will in time and I would buy it again.

Everything is good except the battery
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good handheld gaming PC. Can run all AAA game at max or near max settings when plugged in. Battery is pretty bad through so i ended up getting a 46000 mah portable battery for the extra juice.

Great handheld "laptop"
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this thing. There was nothing more cool than playing PC games on the go. The best part is the Windows emulation. It feels like a mini-laptop with you on the go. I returned it ultimately because it just did not feel comfortable it my small hands :(

Nice Hardware meets a work in progress Software
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hardware is sturdy and well made. There are a few quirks that we need to work through but I think it will get better with time since windows in this form factor is new and is bound to have teething problems. Also, games are not going to work out of the box. A good few hours need to go into setting up the system before it is even ready for gaming. The Armory Core Software also needs to be get used too but once you figure it out it gives some nice controller mapping for even classic PC games like Jazz Jackrabbit i got out of GOG.

Nice Try, but back to the drawing board.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lots of issues reported from the bestbuy associate I worked with to return. Mine had an SD Card read issue. My Steam deck has no issues, updated the bios on the Ally and all of the updates given by Asus atm. Hopefully they will fix things as the screen is amazing and the controls feel great aswell. The plastic housing does feel a bit cheap for an item of this cost but the majority of the cost definitely went into screen and internals.
