Price change/battery life
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it, I had to buy a backup battery. The device only lasts 1 1/2 hours.. they made a new one and I bought this one full priced.. 2 months later it dropped on price 150 dollars and now I want the new one

Great overall, could replace desktop.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excelent all around device, it would be great if it came with a case. Armory crate works well and should only get better over time. This is a great all around computer you can take anywhere as long as you bring the cable. The Ally plays games very well, the sound is amazing, overall great value.

Good device for on the go AAA games
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Start up was a little rocky solely for the amounts of updates you have to do and configuring that needs to be done to actually enjoy the device. But after a couple of hours dedicated to set up, the ROG Ally runs great and im able to play games like COD on the go. You can stream xbox/PS5 games and download xbox games locally.

The toothless monster, way better than legion go
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm giving it a 4.⁵/5 (that small.5 in intentional). It works excellent for the most part but the memory card issue is what I can't deal with right now. That's the only reason I returned it otherwise it shines in all the games I threw at it. I have a 2021 gaming laptop but it can't deliver the performance that this little guy can.

Needs more time in development
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately i have to rate it a 2/5 because of the issues I was dealing with. I purchased this product today and will be returning it tomorrow. I gave it 8 hours of play time and followed everyones suggestions on updates and settings for optimal gameplay. Within 8 hours my system restarted 4 times on its own or was shutting down programs by itself. I noticed a little drift on the left analog stick. Battery life is what it is, about one hour without charge but expect frame rates to drop fast and the system to struggle while running heavy games like spiderman. I really wanted to like it and for this to be my new handheld system. There is still a lot of work to do. I look forward to seeing how much better the technology will improve in the future. This is just the start.

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

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.

Great Console!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This console is really good! I feel like there should be a lot more ease in using it for Steam and other game hubs. Games that are fully controller compatibile still seem to have issues with the ROG ally. Overall best device I've ever owned.

Very pleaed so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far im very pleased, its everything i expected out of a windows based handheld. It plays diablo 4 no issues, armoury crate is better than i expected, and its pretty comfortable in my hands. I can see where someone whos not very tech savvy might have some issue getting everything setup, but for someone who plays pc games and messes with different handhelds it should be no issue.

Filled with software issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ton of potential but really just not refined enough at all for a release should have been delayed.i understand that it will take time for game optimization and launchers to update to function properly but Jesus this thing is just a buggy disaster even with basic functions within armory crate and windows itself they did a terrible job software wise getting this ready for users. It’s been hours of updates and restarts buttons not working having to reset and update to get core functionality back, not to mention brand new $700 handheld and the RB is flat pressed in s d barely clicks just not on par with the steam deck when it comes to support and being ready for users. Sad because when you get it going it outperformed it in every title. Will give it another week and if not forward progress it’s going back to Best Buy.

Great handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ROG ally is works great. Purchased to play unsupported games from the Steam Deck. Other than adjusting profiles for specific games, the system plays as expected. Also purchased due to arthritis in my hands, and struggle to play games with a gaming controller anymore. The spread of the controls works better for me when it comes to gameplay.

Great product
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took a few hours to set up just like any other laptop would take. I have the ROG m16 laptop so a lot of the software quirks I’m used too. Games run smooth within expectation, screen is amazing,120 hz is very nice. Can’t say enough good things hardware wise but definitely needs some useful software updates from windows and asus soon. Overall great first handheld gaming device
