Very hood option to handheld pc gaming especially for bethesda games.

Just buy it. It's nice to be able play all my PC games on the Ally...it works well battery life at max performance is about 2 hrs. Don't use the SD card reader as it overheats potentially. Planning on upgrading the m.2 2230 SSD to 2tb and performing a battery mod.

it perform good nice and good quality i love it playing it

Amazing and powerful! Battery life sucks but expected with a handheld of this magnitude.

Its quite versatile. You wont have to lug around a laptop on the go if youre strictly playing games on it. But you can purchase a seperate small monitor, if needed, for other computer related tasks. Only complaint is it takes a little bit to update the entire thing between asus updates and windows updates.

[Employee of bestbuy] The Ally is absolutely amazing when it comes to portable pc performance. Havent had a single issue with any game ive tried to run on it. I can even install my remote play and ps+ apps to play games from my ps5/ps+ subscription. Having a full Windows OS opens up much more possibilities than the Steamdeck. 10/10 purchase!

It's got nice hardware and a nice screen as well as a decent pair of speakers. However, the software side of things is what destroys the device. It uses Windows natively which is nice in terms of universal access to software and programs, but the downfall is that it's extremely difficult to navigate using this device. It's also very hard to do basic things like launch a game due to the way everything is integrated. It feels like software is tacked on to this product rather than native like the steam deck. Unfortunately I think that this isn't THE handheld to get and it's going to take another year or two to get something that's just right. I already sold my Steam deck but I don't think that device is up to snuff in the hardware but is way better in the interface. Maybe Steam and ASUS can work together to release a best of both worlds device, but in the meantime I'm going back to my laptop.

It is very good love it and it is very fast the battery is not so good

This thing is a powerful little machine. But setting it up was a hassle. And the controllers have an input delay that make it hard to play shooters. Pretty disappointed with this thing tbh. But i feel like after a couple more software updates it could be great.

Has become my primary PC, gaming or otherwise. Recommend getting a dock.

Amazing product I cannot recommend this enough!!!!

This is the device I've been waiting for. Compatible with everything. The Steam Deck is great, but it was frustrating looking at my library and seeing "not commpatible with Steam Deck." All you have to do is login to Xbox, Steam, Epic Games, whatever, download your games and they show up in Armoury Crate. Sure, it's a Windows device, but once you get it setup and running, it's a truly fantastic device.

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

Amazing prefect for on the go gaming. Only downside is not enough storage

This is a reasonable product for the cost to be used as an alternate entertainment option.

Great handheld, runs AAA titles and idies just fine! Its only held back by battery life

Kinda complicated, nice screen but performance is okish but the main problem ROG finally got to see is the heat + microsd problem, tweak the fan speed and keep the fan on with the ally or you might get a bad sd later and get a dead sd reader. Careful....

I’m in the Navy and this thing is pretty legit. I use it all the time to play Forza 5, Red Dead and many other games. Very convenient for travel and offline use.

I love the screen on this and the way the device feels ans looks. However this is not a plug and play device, you must run updates, tweak settings for people who are not used to PC gaming and troubleshooting it may be a learning curve or a complete turn off. However once you dial things just right, the device is amazing.

I didn’t have high expectations for this unit at all. I am used to using an Alienware m17. Since I use a cross between steam and Xbox ecosystems this was a good portable option to utilize the subscriptions and purchase I already utilize. I played with it for about a week left it on the charger downloading mw3 by the time I got back I got a no boot error. ( I was using a SD card as well). I was not happy. Thankfully I am a stickler for the latest updates. The bios upgrade included cloud restore. I was able to still see the drive so I wiped the system logged on the cloud restore which if you ever had to wipe a system before is a pain this made it very easy. No usb boot drive needed. Since then no issue works like a dream. The customization options are good and getting better with each update. I have been using it more and more over the Xbox and the m17.
