Need a windows gaming mode,
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.nice little portable gaming pc. Battery life is nowhere close to the steam deck and it also lacks the console like features of the steam deck. This will be an excellent devices if windows updates the OS to include a handheld gaming mode.

A great Handheld device
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a small Handheld to run windows this device is a little beast. If you are computer savy you would know how to tinker settings for this device to get everything performing correctly for gaming. There are some pros and cons with the device but everyone’s experience is different but make sure you know what you are getting and do your research.

Excellent mobile gaming device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent gaming device! I love that you can access XBOX and PC games without issue. There is a slight delay when playing PS games remotely but its a small price to play from anywhere. Very impressed. I also recommend you upgrade the hard drive to 1TB so best performance.

Excellent device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought open box excellent the first unit I received was a bit scratched up but I was able to return it locally with no problems and get a mint model. The performance was far better than I thought I can get over 100 fps on low to medium settings on most games. Rhe design looks and feels amazing no issues so far been using for about a month
I would recommend this to a friend Good but can be buggy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this ASUS ROG Ally for my son. The graphics are good. The sd card readers can be faulty and can fry your sd card. This has happened to his. Still runs fine but do not run games or have sd card in slot while gaming. Would recommend for someone looking for a good handheld game concole.

Great Device
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is great I love the fact that is a handheld windows PC. It has a built-in controller which actually works really well plus I don't just have to put my steam and Xbox games on it any game that runs on my computer can go on it. The only downside is the hard drive space is a little small but hey you can use Microsd cards.
I would recommend this to a friend You will need a warranty
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my son with complete knowledge of some of the build quality issues around heat. This is his first gaming handheld so I made sure I got the extra warranty. Overall it’s not a bad handheld, good price, plays all types of games (low to mid settings), the battery life could be improved. I ended up returning it after the sad card reader burned out and the battery died. It stopped turned on about 8 weeks after I bought it. I ended up using the money to get one of the Xbox ally

RIP My Steam Deck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life could be better but it is definitely the Steam Deck killer. It’s so gorgeous and games play so well on it, from emulation of retro titles to current triple a games. I love it!

I prefer this to a desktop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really love this thing. It’s the ultimate Xbox Gamepass machine. I ended up selling my custom built desktop gaming pc after getting this. I work at the same desk all day so having the freedom to play games elsewhere around my house feels freeing. It might not be for everyone but it definitely is for me.
I would recommend this to a friend Not bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a good console overall, but I decided to return it. The RB button wasn’t working properly, which was a big issue for me. Personally, I think the Legion Go is a better option compared to this one.

Best gaming handheld pc on the market
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this product for about a month now and have used it everyday since I bought it. Only con is the battery life is very weak but that can be remedied with a battery pack. Still would’ve liked to have around 3-4 hours of gaming time without a pack instead of 1-1.5 hours.
