Way better than the steam deck!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far it runs games pretty smoothly. I did the updates which is definitely the first thing you need to do. Armoury crate is alright and honestly, it runs as expected on a handheld running windows. I was one of the first to preorder the steam deck and was pretty disappointed more so with the display. The ally’s display is way better and the fact that im not limited to just my steam library is a plus. It’s only going to get better with the updates

Awesome Little Machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROG Ally is muc more capable than the Steam Deck, which i sold the purchase this. I have not had any issues downloadijg and playing games from various services, such as Xbox Game Pass, and steam, and battle net. Some people have reported issues with micro sd cards, i have not experienced any isses eith mine. The screen is perfect and varable refresh rate works perfect. My only complaint ia that i havent had enough time to play.

Powerful, Portable, Playable.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent hand held gaming. I have a Switch, but wanted to play more mainstream PC games on the go. Rog Ally was the perfect answer for me. It is super fast, load times are very minimal, and graphics look amazing. Windows 11 works surprisingly well with the mini screen and touch interface. Highly recommended.

Excellent handheld device!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used mostly for gaming, but can be used for any computer function. Think of it as a gaming laptop that's handled. It plays Reminent 2(with some tweaking), fps with no problems, any scroller or 2d games give that awesome console feel. I use it for remote access into my desktop also. Very powerful little machine. Can connect Bluetooth mouse and keyboard while connected to a TV or monitor. Really pleased with this device.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this little thing! The battery life for handheld doesn’t last very long, but I mostly use it hooked up to my TV. I recommend buying more storage space.

The (near) perfwct handheld
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not easily impressed but this thing is amazing. I really wanted a steam deck but could not get myself to buy it due to the bad screen quality. Low resolution and bad colors. The ally does everything and have not had one issue. It runs windows so if you are familiar setup and use will be a breeze. Still a few software things I hope Asus improves on like more features for aura sync, allow macros to work in auto mode and a few other small things

Great so far
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first i wanted to return it after a week of having it until i get the hamg of it trust me you won't regret having it. Its like walking around with a mini console in hand even the advantage of pairing your xbox n ps5 controls to it connect it to your tv its worth it even the game play

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good handheld console, I wish there was an option for more storage such as 1 tb instead of having to buy a micro sd card or ssd card for the device. Also there was a few problems with my ROG ally when I had my sd card in for a few weeks. Overall pretty nice, I play Xbox and pc games, pretty new to Steam, usually a console player.

The absolute best
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly the best gaming experience. I play ck3 and stellaris on the couch while my girlfriend watches her shows and the dogs lay around loving it. Works great with headphones and the clarity and response is perfect. 10/10

Almost Perfect
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want to be able to play all of your games on a handheld then this is the best option. The VRR screen feels like a neccesity on these and none of the 7840U options have it. The only problem is battery life. The battery life is terrible.
