High performance gaming console
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am impressed how powerful is. Can run any game, the only side effect which is solvable with an external battery is the internal battery duration

Best Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been always a fan of portable gaming. And eversince ive gotten my first PSP Ive been obsessed with handheld gaming. The ROG Ally is very satisfying to be able to play any games any where you take it. Although its a been an exhilarating experience it has its down sides. For example it has been known to break or cook sd card. In that regards Ive been afraid to put one on my own device fearing it might make my sd card reader unusable.

Rog Ally Almost great
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When running optimized this unit is incredible. This is not a handheld console, this is a handheld pc that utilizes windows to manage your game library. I returned my unit due to a faulty trigger button but I will repurchase once the new model is available. Even though it is not perfect it is a brilliant piece of tech.

Best Mobile PC Gaming Experience.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best mobile gaming experiences I’ve ever had. It’s a love child of so much gaming knowledge, that’s it’s impossible not to be amazed. From the simple fact that it’s full windows 10/11, to the amazing mobile processor that can run most modern titles 60+fps. I mostly used it for MW2 2022, and I have no complaints. It did take some time to get used to aiming on the device, because it does feel way different than a monitor or TV but after you do, it’s amazing the place/ you can get score streaks at.

Console Gamer Tries PC Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been a console gamer since since the NES. I've played them all and finaly took the plunge to the PC side of gaming. Setting this unit up was just like setting up a pc for work. Once everythimg was updated and the games installed it was some trial and error to get up and playing games. It's been a fun handheld ever sense. Keep your expectations in check and you wont be disappointed. If I can learn how to tweak games to get them to run anyone can. Yes the battery doesnt last long but when is the last time you didn't have a phone charger with you to use in a pinch?

Love it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a nice device, it’s lighter than the steam deck and slightly more powerful. My only complaint would be that I wish it had a longer battery life.

Other than battery life its GG
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Really neat handheld PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

My new Final Fantasy Machine
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing purchase, handheld PC gaming made easy and accessible. I get great battery life playing indie games and emulating my old games. Perfect machinr for playing through the first 15 Final Fantasy games (3-4 hours of battery life on all of those games) and even handlea FF16 and the remakes well albiet with ~1 hour of battery. Only other downside for newer games is the limited storage, but streaming games from my dedicated PC tower helps both the battery and save on onboard storage.

Worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Buy it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent device!! Would highly recommend it! I have this and the Lenovo legion go and recommend them both. Honestly this device has better speakers than the legion, but the screen on the legion is amazing because it is larger.
