    Ticks a lot of tech boxes. Zen4/RDNA3, VRR/Freesync 48-120hz, 1080P, 512GB m.2 out of the box (easily expandable via direct drive replacement or via SD card). Can play just about anythint from AAA releases to indie games to emulating classic favorites. The onlu downsides is the battery life and initial setup. Asus also needs to homogenize the update process. Currently there are at least three platforms to receive updates and thats a pain

    Runs warzone pretty good. However one full game ate 40% battery, i guess they have issues with sd card but i dont have enough games to need it...over all i like it... might be a bit over priced in my eyes but hey it is what it is and i didnt return it so..... Should have a bigger ssd and i haven't got fully used to the built in controls , ps5 controller is way better than this built in one to me but it works alright

    First handheld PC after considering a Steam Deck, I’m glad I waited for this. Fantastic device, and plays everything I’ve thrown at it smoothly. Setup is just like any Windows PC, Armory Crate is a little buggy but overall works well, and most importantly I can play my favorite games on the go! Small con, not specific to my device. I know these are currently experiencing SD card issues, I personally don’t use that, but I would urge people to be wary of that if you do buy this and intend to use SD cards. Very happy with this, and would definitely recommend it!

    Great option when traveling! Battery life is limited, but if you are looking for a Windows based alternative to the SteamDeck, ASUS has you covered.

    Good little handheld PC for playing games, setting up without using a Microsoft account isn’t too difficult. Armory Crate software seems pretty good for customizing controls and performance. Be wary of getting an open box product from Best Buy, my “excellent” one had a broken LB, don’t know how they missed that when checking it over.

    Really awesome for a handheld PC. Some issues with the SD card reader going bad because overheating issues; I've avoided that issue by not using it.

    Great for on the go gaming or playing at home on the dock. If you already have a gaming pc then this is definitely a luxury item you may not need, but if you're looking for your first gaming rig and want something portable (and the highest graphics settings arent a requirement for you.) This is the perfect set up imo. Easy to use interface, simple set up, and the best part is being able to pay games across multiple platforms, not just steam. And upgrading the ssd is a snap.

    Has a few hardware problems with the sd card reader but it's fairly easy to upgrade the Internal drive and replace the sticks when they go bad so it gets points for repairability in other stuff

    Don't expect it to be a full fledge pc. You will need to tweak it to your desired playstyle. This can play most games, but at a cost of FPS or image quality. Now it's a small screen, which makes up for the fact that low resolutions won't be as noticeable. If you love to tweak things and game on the go, then this device is perfect. It will complement your gaming pc Thanks to cloud saves you can pick from where you left on your pc or vice versa.

    The ROG Ally is the best handheld on the market. While Windows isn’t quite as smooth as SteamOS, this device FEELS amazing to play on and it allows me to play all of my Game Pass titles, Steam titles, and so much more. Definitely my best purchase this year.
