    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.

    Overall it is a solid product that meets my expectations. I am using it as a portable gaming machine that I can plug into my 32-inch monitor at any time I would recommend this product but do remember this is not a high-end gaming machine, it does have its limitations.

    Love love love my ROG Ally. I’m writing this review after having it now almost four months. I haven’t had any issues like some others have had with the SD card etc. It’s amazing to be able to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldurs Gate 3 at 1080p and medium to high settings and having it run smoothly.

    The Ally is a powerful handheld for pc gaming. Easy to use, fun and convenient. Only downside is out of the box it wouldn’t play half of my games before having to google and look up for a couple of hours how to fix.

    This is a very good handheld as long as you realize the power comes with poor battery life. You will have your regular windows bugs since its basically a mini pc. The price is very good for the power that you get. If you want an xbox handheld this is the closest you will probably get.

    This is a great hand held system. I play Baldur's Gate 3 on it with the highest graphics and it runs it perfect. I have also played many other games on it and have had no issue with the Alley. I got it on launch day and would highly recommend it to anyone.

    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.

    Like having the option of having my PC games on the go and not having to carry a second laptop. Setup takes some time and linking accounts and initial updates take a bit of time, definitely take the time to update everything when you first start up.

    Must have for PC gamer The only downside would probably the SD card slot. DON"T PUT AN SD CARD INSIDE. PLEASE JUST REPLACE THE SSD AS A WHOLE BECAUSE YOUR SD CARD WILL FRIED WITHIN A MONTH !
