    Pretty good to be a portable pc, i can play games anywhere. Battery last around 2 hours depending on which game you play with which is pretty good for a pc, gaming laptops are about the same

    A very good PC handheld and competitor to the Steam Deck. The fact that it runs Windows 11 is a major plus to many. Some downsides include limited battery life depending on the title you're playing. And a clunky UI experience due to Armory Crate not being fully integrated into the system.

    I'm very happy with my experience with this. I did have the issue with the SD card reader failing, but Asus was very easy to work with to have that repaired at no cost to me (I repurposed amazon packing materials to ship it in). One gripe is the battery life is not the best. Maybe 2 hours of play even at 15w setting, but a great experience nonetheless.

    I honestly only give this a 4 because of its battery life. Everything about this device is great except for the battery life. It’s meant for hand held on the go gaming but if you’re playing a high end game you’re only getting an hour out of it. With settings tweaked I only got it to last at max two and a half hours for emulators.

    Great system. Reason for my 3 stars is the one I got originally had a broken left trigger. And my friends system got a broken SD drive and actually corrupted his card and is a known issue. Overall great system compared to the steam deck, easier to play windows games like Diablo 4 and game pass as eell

    I got this in July 2023 and it's been awesome. I got it for work travel since my laptop was huge and bulky. It's been everything I wanted and needed. Although I would recommend an external battery, I've loved being able to play games on airplanes and hooking it up to a TV in a hotel room with the external dock has been great. It's definitely my favorite travel companion would recommend 10/10

    Great device, very powerful, but the battery life isn't there yet. It's possible that the hardware and battery is adequate, but software isn't there yet. I didn't encounter the sd card burn issue, but it's obviously a teething problem that I hope they will overcome. The on screen keyboard is difficult to use if you ever want to use the ally for productivity.

    I have mixed feelings about this gaming handheld. The Rog Ally is a perfect option for PC gamers who don’t mind tinkering and tweaking. It’s not for everyone though, as the user experience frustrations caused by Windows might annoy some. The amount of adjustment you have to do to the settings to get games running nicely also make the Ally struggle for less technically savvy. Battery life is also not a good one, but fast charging helps Ally get back to works immediately.
