Over all it’s good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product honestly. Although open box does not come with a charger, you can easily get one off of amazon for like 20-30$. It’s a big savings if your looking to purchase. The only downfall is the battery life but as these products continue to come out they will figure out better battery life.

Hand held game controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was just amazed by how well the graphics were executed when they came together and it made me feel so much better about giving it to my family for Christmas. I was disappointed that the free monthly Xbox game card didn’t work for me and I was not able to use it in other platforms

Great for Teens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my son after he and I saw the prices for the Switch 2. He's been getting more into steam games and purchases most of the games he has himself. Seeing the prices of the Switch 2 games, he immediately wanted something like this instead. He's constantly using it everywhere and has setup his desk so he can use it with a keyboard and mouse hooked up to occasionally to even play League of Legends on it. He's had no complaints about it and we plan on installing Bazite OS so we can dual boot Windows along with it for a smoother experience for him. Worth the price for sure with how much joy he has and how much more he's outside his room with it and spending time with the family.

Surprisingly good performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this device on sale to be able to connect to my television and play PC games. So far the performance available in such a small package has exceeded my expectations with games both looking better and playing smoother than anticipated.

A PC that's a controller.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A miniture PC designed to take games from different platforms and have them controller compatibility. Not as powerful as a good laptop but a fun device that is easy to use. The touch screen and mouse mode help navigate the regular PC. Not bad but a bit awkward.

Almost There
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It looks great, screen is awesome, and its got great potential… but i dislike that the battery barely lasts (no matter how much you tinker with settings), you have to play on medium/low settings, the screen isnt that bright, and it does take time to setup. I come from custom pc building and tinkering with everything. I think i just expected better performance out of it and was let down.

Continuous Gameplay
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lifelong console gamer here, we decided to purchase the ROG so we could continue gaming through our move. It’s very light, and almost everything is customizable. It runs on Windows 11 and the Armory Crate is easy to manage. We downloaded the Steam and Epic games clients and have had no issues. It pairs well with our PS5 controller as long as the game supports it. The storage is great and everything runs smooth; the power up is quick. We also purchased the adapter and can mirror games on our monitors.

True Ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROG Ally is an excellent on the go PC that is similar to the steam deck. the interface and controller setting does take some getting used to and its unique interface and setting system armory is a helpful tool to adapt the controller to any game. As somebody who is generally skeptical on new handhelds, this is a positive experience and smoothly plays a variety of games in a quality performance. This is an excellent PC to help you work on going through your backlog of games on the go.

Good Windows Gaming Device
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this unit. I realize it's not for everyone as it's based on Windows 11. However, I supported Windows for 25 years in my career and my desktops, laptops, and tablets are all based on Windows so this works for me. Because it's essentially a handheld PC I can run Xbox Game Pass, EA Play, Steam, Ubisoft, and more on it. They have a nice interface to give you quick access to the apps you've installed. It responds very well, has okay battery life, and feels comfortable in my hands.
