Good device, crappy retailer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good device and does what it's supposed to do. Knocked off a five star because best buy sent me a code that is invalid for game pass and I'm pretty upset about that.

Better than I thought
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I went in thinking that this thing is going to stink. But I realize that its not that bad at all. I was terrified that my sd card reader was going die, never did. It plays all my games with great performance. I took one star away because of all the sd readers that died. But fingers crossed that mine doesn't die. My best advice is if you know nothing about windows dont buy it but if you had a laptop in the past you will feel quite at home with this one.

Good little game pc
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's everything I was hoping it would be, lots of aftermarket stuff for it to, i bought a dock, a d brand case for it and it plays games great, the fan is a little noisy but all in all well worth the price i got it for. I paid $450

I absolutely love this thing!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sure, there's some updates and setup needed out of the box (it is a PC, so that was expected), but that all went rather smoothly. It feels good in the hands, control layout is great, and the screen is just amazing. I installed a new 2tb ssd upgrade. This was also very easy to do. Asus has how-to videos online, just make sure to update everything thru the MyAsus app first. Then you can use the automated cloud recovery to reinstall everything. I also own a Steam Deck but this will be my new go-to when I wanna do some handheld gaming.

EXCELLENT FOR THE PRICE
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Literally doubles the performance of the Steam Deck while doubling Image Quality, very good for the price! Add in a portable monitor, and you have a complete gamer laptop replacement

Best deal for your buck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Rog ally has been a very fast and powerful device. Though the battery leaves much to be desired. This little device packs a punch. Being able to compare to current console performance

Handheld of choice
|Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've tested several gaming handheld devices, and this is still my Go To. More expensive than a Steam Deck, but your paying for extra quality and performance. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is the faulty SD Card slot, but honestly I'd never use it anyway.

Mixed Experience: ROG Ally Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.recently purchased the ROG Ally from Best Buy, attracted by its sleek design and promising features. However, my experience with this controller left me with mixed feelings. On the positive side, the ROG Ally boasts impressive build quality and ergonomic design, making it comfortable to hold during long gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive, and the overall feel is premium. Unfortunately, my enjoyment was marred by a persistent issue with the right analogue stick. Despite initial smooth operation, I found that it would intermittently drift, causing frustrating moments during gameplay. This problem persisted despite multiple attempts to recalibrate the controller. While the ROG Ally has the potential to be a top-tier gaming accessory, its reliability falls short of expectations. For now, I've returned it to Best Buy and will be exploring other options. Overall, the ROG Ally offers a blend of quality construction and functionality, but its inconsistency in performance, particularly with the drifting analogue stick, leaves much to be desired. Proceed with caution if considering this controller for your gaming setup.

Awesome device! Better than Steam Deck
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is perfect. I had the Steam Deck, and when this came out, I immediately sold my Steam Deck. This decice is better in most ways - the only exception being the battery life.

There isn't much to hate about this
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I have been enjoying the Ally for the most. Easy interface, not as confusing as it seems and enjoy the fact I can run my emulators on it. Makes for a great handheld console for all things. All the while watching netflix when I don't want to game. Let's be honest, I love that I can dock it and use it as a computer. Pretty much replacing my computer at this point. Only downside is the speakers don't stay consistent. I plug in my own headphones so I don't get the whole crackle when playing games.

Ally Z1 Extreme
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good handheld unit. Plays my games and is also a great handheld PC to watch YouTube and videos. I would recommend if you are looking for a handheld product that is similar. One downside is this market is moving so fast that this seems to be last years model with new models coming out. It still does what I want it to do.
