5 Stars for how I use the Ally
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's great, you get a fast APU and great specs at the expense of battery. I wouldn't reccomend to anyone looking to play in enviorments where you cant find a wall outlet though. Armory crate which is the Asus version of big picture mode on steam isn't the best, but going into control panel and disabling fast startup for windows will fix almost all the issues you hear in other reviews. Once the device is setup and you tweak the fast startup option its a great expirence.

Absolutely awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This machine is absolutely awesome. Using it with Xbox gamepass, steam and to stream is absolutely great. The only draw back is the Micro SD slot functions it is horrible don’t even bother using it. Asus get rid of it and pass the savings onto the consumer. Stick to the memory it comes with or upgraded and you will be fine. The future is gaming in portable console. You won’t regret this purchase if your a beginner toward pc gaming. YouTube your questions and learn, the knowledge is worth it.

Love this thing!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it on sale for $599. DEFINITELY worth that, no doubt about it. Has run every game I play at medium or high graphics settings, 900p resolution, and always 35+ fps. Most games I average in the mid 40s. Highly recommend going ahead and upgrading the SSD straight away before installing games to make it faster and simpler. I used a 1tb SSD and can store plenty of games. Heck of a unit.

Made video games fun again
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Something about playing video games on a dedicated gaming device just makes it more fun for me. I already have tons of steam games and this can run all but the most poorly optimized (struggles with a basic RTS called Northgard that it should be able to run haha). I just beat Elden Ring on this thing. It's great! Just be sure to buy a bigger SSD, you can even get an adapter to allow fun size NVME SSDs which are way cheaper.

Excellent Purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I already had the Steamdeck and honestely I didn't want to add the Windows partition and suffer with all the respective configuration. This is an excellent alternative for SteamDeck. You can play Xbox Game Pass games (only PC versions), Steam games, Warzone, etc. You must only adapt to the mouse moving it with sticks or touch pad. Screen is smaller than SteamDeck. Although, you can configure the grapichs in any game settings and you can get all the juice from Ally. BTW, I love both systems. If you don't have a SteamDeck this is an excellent option if you want to avoid all the Windows configurations.

ROG is my Ally
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROG is a great start to something beautiful. If you understand how PC's and Windows 11 then you will understand the negatives that actually can be improved. I took it on a trip and time passed like I was playing at home. My only con that is really impactful for me is when the ROG is low battery it feels like a controller with no rechargeable batteries...lol
