    Picked mine up on launch day, ran updates before doing anything else with it and no issues. This thing has saved my marriage. I can now play games on the couch while my wife works on her laptop and we have trash tv running. Dont ask me why we need to see love island or below deck on the 65” tv vs an ipad. It’s her world I’m just living in it.

    I bought it for my brother so honestly I dont have a ton of experience with the all. I do have a steam deck though, which is much more user friendly in my little experience.

    Much better than I expected! Runs my favorite games (Doom Eternal and CyberPunk) at excellent speeds and quality. It beats out my deskop. Although it's not a dedicated gaming unit like streamdeck and it does require installing and setup like any PC. But it runs Windows 11 out of the box that makes it very useful as a laptop.

    If you want to play the Rog Ally, then go for it because it is too much better than Steam Deck. The Lenovo Legion Go will be better optional that LLG is really fast on FPs and long battery life. This Rog Ally is stronger and smooth on it and I feel it is like a gaming desktop. I am happy with it.

    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.

    Absolutely outstanding piece of hardware. A lot of people are returning these but from what ive gathered on fourms and pages a lot of it is user error. This is just a mini pc and you need to think of it as such. It needs its updates and has the normal windows 11 stuff but once its up and running it is a beast at playing games on the go.

    Great specs! Nice grip with my size of hands but it’s windows and windows is the biggest problem. There ar eso me design flaws as well. Hate that I can’t setup offline. The SD Card slow gets super hot. And recently with an update from 7/12/23 my sd card had issues. It would slow down my console down so badly because the SD HDD usage was at 100%. Reformatted the SD card twice and even empty it showed 100% usage under HDD. Factory rest didn’t help. I ended up powering on my console without the sd card and opened up disk management once I inserted the sd card it showed up immediately and I was able to do another format. It worked ! But the hassle was such a pain. I’m just glad it didn’t fry my sd card like other people

    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

    I love this. The Xbox app works great for streaming games, running full pc games works great. Games like MW2, Diablo 4, and Fortnite run great on this. I upgraded to a 2TB 2230 right away for more storage. Keep in mind this runs full Windows so you'll have a ton of updates out of the box before you can game. But after the sky is the limit.

    Ive read lots of reviews about people having issues with this. I have had mine since day one release and ive had no issues. It works just fine I play diablo 4 and have used it for xbox game pass games. The only thing I dont like is having to use a ps4 controller ro play ps now games. But that isnt really a ROG ally issue more of ps.

    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.

    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

    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.
