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.
I would recommend this to a friend Asus rog ally
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fun but gets hot sometimes from continuous playing. Battery life isn’t so great if playing high performance or turbo mode
I would recommend this to a friendNice 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.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat product
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product the only thing is the battery dies kind of quick while gaming. It could also have a little more storage.
I would recommend this to a friendThe best budget Gaming Handheld
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're on a budget for a gaming handheld, this is the one to get. The battery is poor so plan on playing in short bursts, have a battery pack nearby or install the battery mod.

Love it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it... So better then steam deck and very fast and so easy to use I recommend to this to anyone... The only bad part but it is never a deal breaker and that is storage but I bought a sd card
I would recommend this to a friend 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.
I would recommend this to a friendNice 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.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked it at first. I want to like it but the battery life is terrible, it's not great and has stutters, it's lacking in places I assume newer models are more well rounded. I sold mine after having it 7 months

Great handheld
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife absolutely loves it with no issues and it's worth buying the razer doc for this to turn it basically into a laptop

I would recommend this to a friendBest handheld gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it ! I like the system and it connects to my steam library. Im able to change fps, and all those specs as needed. Battery runs out in 2 hrs at lowest settings with battery saver. The system charges fully within 1 hr. Good for light and occasional gaming. I ran ff7 remake on lowest setting and graphics were still impressive !

Wonderful gaming pc.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When i first got the rog ally it was amazing and was speedy, after the 319 motherboard firmware went to chit, downgraded to 317 and now its doing great buy other than that its plays ALLYour games at a decent fps, with that being said its better than steamdeck. Having issues with your rog ally? DO NOT SELL IT! Work is in progress, just like when steamdeck first came out it was a buggy mess but with updates it works just fine.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the fact that its practically a portable computer and just with a hotspot from my phone I can play all my games on road trips and at friends houses. The only issues is the mirco sd slot not working after 1-2 months but I found a work around for it so im not concerned.
