    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

    This thing is great! I haven't played anything that pushes it yet, and most of the games I will play on it won't, but I can now catch up on older games that I missed out on that were available on older consoles that are now only easily available on PC. The main issue I have is the battery life. It isn't great, but I play primarily plugged in. Other than that, I love this thing!

    So far so good. It works like a champ. Dont get the lenovo one. The ram on this helps a lot. Battery life is not like a laptop. So be aware to charge up.

    The ROG ally was exactly what I was looking for: a capable but portable gaming PC that can double as a productivity machine when hooked up to a keyboard, mouse and monitor when I am traveling.

    this is my first time writing a product review on bestbuy, it's really a memorable experience, Rog ally is a product worth buying, if you are a person who likes to play games and move constantly then here is the handheld game console of the year for you to buy. no words can describe it. What are you waiting for, go to the nearest bestbuy store and get one

    I love this portable handheld, I use it with a dock to connect to my TV and a wireless controller and I have a game console that will run windows. I also use the dock to connect a keyboard and mouse and I am able to complete work tasks as well. Highly recommend. Cant wait for ROG ally 2

    This is a powerful gaming device that is easy to upgrade. It plays most games at good frame rate and is a good device for people who want to play PC games but don’t like keyboard and mouse. It is comfortable and good for playing on the go.

    Way better than the switch or stream deck. The power of this thing is crazy. Plays call of duty modern warfare 2 and the multiplayer with out any issues. Plays GTA 5 with out lagging or freezing. Can easily play xbox game pass on this. Haven’t found a game that runs slow on this.

    It's a good handheld pc that's more powerful than the steam deck with a surprisingly solid build quality. The main thing holding it back is buggy software and general os bugs from Windows running on a handheld. But I'd assume most people buying this are aware of the potential windows issues.

    Steam Deck or Rog Ally?

    If you have a Steam Deck, sell it on Ebay and get a Rog Ally. Rog Ally is a powerful gaming PC on the palm of your hand. I bought an open box with a defective SD card reader and returned it. Bought a brand new one and I am so happy with it. Since this is a Windows 11, you will need to tweak. Go to Youtube video and you will have your Rog Ally runni g in no time.

    Xbox Cloud gaming works great. Starfield runs fairly well on low settings. Call of Duty MW3 runs great online and usually gets around 100fps. More demanding titles may not play as well. But for what this is it is worth the money.
