Great gaming OTG
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it. Being able to have a computer on the go that’s gamer friendly is amazing. Especially since my career takes all over the country and I don’t have a bulky laptop or a dedicated gaming handheld and I have the versatility of this thing! More space is all you need.
I would recommend this to a friend Rog Ally

Surprising performance
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first the ally felt half baked. After a few windows updates and driver updates. This thing is awesome. COD plays with zero glitches. Spider-Man and Fortnite play with zero glitches or performance issues. Couldn’t be happier with the ally.

Best PC handheld (Any ROG Ally, esp new ALLY X)
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing handheld PC. Infinitely better than steamdeck as well as any other handheld windows machine out there. Ordered new Ally X because i was so impressed with and enjoyed having the Ally Z1 Extreme.
I would recommend this to a friend Great Gaming Option

Love it!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have both this and also the new steam deck with the anti hlare screen. The ally beats the steamdecm in every way other than tge anti glare screen. The Steambecks antiglare screen is super helpful when playjng outdoors. The ally has better graphics capabilities overall and is the better option overall in my opinion

Fun on the go
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great portable gaming device. Perfect for gaming on the go. Battery and storage are a small drawback but portable cloud gaming makes up for ant drawbacks.

Rog Ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best thing to kill time away from computer. Only flaw would be battery life but we don’t need to play too much games if we’re outing

The most fun I’ve had with games in a while
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love playing my games on the go my only stipulation is that it has a hard time running big games and needs to come with much more storage out of box, you can purchase and install a bigger ssd but I feel for the price it should come preinstalled

Power in a small package
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I chose this over the Steamdeck due to the fact that it runs Windows, and had support for more games out of the box. It has surpassed my expectations, ran CoD, Diablo 4, and Starfield with minimal tuning of the settings. Software works fine, just make sure you run all the firmware updates.

Amazing but has its kinks that need ironing out
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fun to play casual games. Currently has issues with the SD card but I’m sure they will eventually fix that. Sticks are bad, like really bad. So bad I’m gonna start carrying a wireless remote just to avoid using them. Other than that, runs games great.

ROG Ally FTW
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exceeds my expectations for a handheld. I game on the go a lot, even in the living room on the couch or on vacations in the hotels. Definitely worth the price if you're gonna use it for its intended purpose. I bought the matching earbuds, too!

Been great so far!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really enjoying the Ally so far! Just got it setup as my main gaming device. Still figuring out all its capabilities, but it’s possibilities are pretty impressive! I would recommend this for others that aren’t afraid of windows and who are looking for a great handheld gaming option to play everything from AAA titles to emulation.
I would recommend this to a friend Almost perfect BUT.........
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pro's: plays MOST AAA games, great screen, windows, can play anywhere I go. con's: BATTERY LIFE SUCKS, will be mostly playing plugged up most of the time. a lot of bloat apps that you need to delete. AND NOT for those who don't understand clocking

Kinda worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the most part this is a great handheld gaming device, bought it to play Starfield since my SteamDeck couldn’t play it well. Plays games well and great quality. The reason for 3 stars is the build quality and functionality of the buttons and triggers. Playing driving games or driving in games is difficult the triggers are bad I have to press so hard on the triggers to go full speed since it’s not registering. My A button has gotten stuck down a few times I’ve had to wiggle it free. Other than the issues the system works great.

Best purchase
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely blown out of the water by the performance of this little machine. Couldnt be happier with my purchase. I was skeptical about getting it because i've had the steam deck and it was just ok. But after getting the ally everything has been playable on-the-go or even just relaxing on the couch.
