great if you know how to use it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Personally I love my Ally. I use it mainly to play PC games around the house. I do not like to always be by my gaming pc and this allows me to play in bed or sitting on the couch watching tv. I have ran some emulators and AAA PC games on it, all runs great. There is a bit of a learning curve to PC gaming that most people do not realize. This is not a Nintendo Switch that you will just pick up and play you will have to likely trouble shoot issues like how to update different programs if you are not use to doing so.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has been a blast. It is perfect for me, I cannot play on my xbox as I use to, not even with remote play. I use my Ally to play on the go or when my wife uses the tv. Just finished spiderman remastered and fallout 3 when before it was really difficult for me to sit on the couch and play what I wanted. The only con which is also a pro is windows, I choose the Ally over steam deck to play games my xbox games but windows can be sometimes hard to work with.

Good Companion to the SteamDeck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the ASUS ROG Ally on June 13 and I have to say it exceeded my expectations in every way. The performance is outstanding, allowing me to smoothly run even the most demanding games and applications without any lag or slowdown. If you're a serious gamer looking for a reliable and powerful handheld to compete with the Valve Steamdeck, the ROG Ally is the perfect choice. Highly recommended by a Steamdeck Owner

Performance powehouse!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid upgrade performance wise from the steam deck. Play at 720p, upscale to 1080p and it runs mostly everything with medium or higher settings /30fps. Vrr low cap can also be changed easily from 45fps to 30fps. Battery life isnt great, as to be expected 1hr 25w. Display is excellent, controls feel very nice, and the machine is about as lousd as a gaming laptop under medium load.

Its great except when it’s not
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worth every penny in my opinion but the “sleep” feature sometimes freezes my game and I get reverted to my last save. Which can be a lot or not that much so it can be inconvient. As far as battery life, its okay, best I can put it, like it drains depending in what you are doing about a percent a minute and it’s dissappointing but I never have 100 minutes to play everyday and I play for 15 min-30 min increments and thats where the processor really shines because boot times are less than a minute I love that, but 600$ is a lot of money at the end of the day and the question being is it worth it is honestly up to you the buyer to decide because it’s use for various settings and I personally use it for work and at night sessions when the mrs is asleep so its good for me but it has its pros and cons.
