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

Present for my girlfriend <3
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my girlfriend last month <3. She was asking for it for months (she’s a technology/gamer girl) & I was finally able to get it for her & her reaction was so cute!!! It looks super cool, the lights are sick & the travel case is really flattering. She legit takes it everywhere. My best gift for sure!

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.

Good handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall it's a great little handheld pc. Some games work out of the box, with little to no changes in settings. Some games you have to constantly tweak to find the sweet spot to run them, especially on battery power. It's not perfect, but it works and does show potential
I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Battery life
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.

Gresr gaming handheld!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this on an open box deal while working away from home and cant be happier with it. If your familier with operating a windows system you wont have any issues as long as you keep everything updated. Runs pretty much any game and usually get 2+ hours of gameplay on a full charge.

Great for games running less than 1080p
|Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This console REALLY needs an extra heatsink, because it will get VERY hot on the back while its in Turbo Mode, and the only way to get higher than 30fps is to be in Turbo Mode. Works great for being a portable windows device, but many of the higher end games will only run at 60fps if you keep the resolution at 720p.
