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.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a console. It's a PC, it's a wonderful product just way overpowered to be called a console

awesome device
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.awesome alternstive to the steam deck handles pretty well wish there was a hand held version of windows to really make this product shine. Only downside I have is storage is not that much wish there was at least 1 TB as 512 gb is not enough for this day and age
I would recommend this to a friendLove it
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall its a great handheld pc. Runs games great played game pass games on it. The initial setup can be so so could of been smoother but once done this thing was incredible. Dont expect it to be like a switch is the only warning not a open and play each game may have different settings needed if you can deal with that then its worth it
I would recommend this to a friend10/10
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this more than my 3,000$ pc. Its so easy to travel with and lounge on the couch with my fiancée while we watch tv and play some of our favorite games.
I would recommend this to a friendAlmost 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
I would recommend this to a friendThe way to game.

I would recommend this to a friendROG 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!
I would recommend this to a friendBest Mini Handheld in Recent Memory
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent system, practically a mini Windows computer while still rocking an amazing graphics card. I use Xbox Gamepass for Xbox achievements a lot, which this is perfect for. Combine that/Windows/Steam/etc, what more could you ask for in a handheld? Compatability with a TV and wireless mouse/keyboard, which this does also. Win/Win.

I would recommend this to a friendThis thing is awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really enjoying the Ally. Got everything updated and it's running smooth. Battery will last between 1-1.5hrs depending on game and display settings. I normally have it plugged in or have a battery pack on the go. I play destiny 2, Forza horizon, jedi master ( on low settings) on this device. Very pleased with graphics and display.
I would recommend this to a friendKinda 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.

Perfect for on the go gaming or for the casual gam
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love that i can PC game on the go with this and listen to music or socialize with it too! So much more convenient than buying a whole pc gaming setup when i dont game often enough to justify a whole setup
I would recommend this to a friendGreat portable gaming pc
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Powerful, easy to upgrade ssd to 2tb, and portable

I would recommend this to a friendPower 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.
I would recommend this to a friendNice display, good for what I need it for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device has made my gaming much more accessible and I've been fighting my wife over which of us gets to use the thing.. I recommend getting a Bluetooth keyboard & mouse though - it can be quite awkward to set up unless you've got good windows experience Very good for what I need it for: a switch that can run my steam library
