Awesome handheld!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device works great and plays games on every platform! I use steam, Xbox, and gog as my primary platforms I buy PC games on. They all work with no problems! If you're trying to save battery, you can also stream on the Xbox app. It's super cool!

Good for portable pc gaming
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this but it’s not something anyone needs. Works well in its use case and I’m happy with it. Looking forward to the x and all future improvements.

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!

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.

Buy it or the upgraded one
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Window is the way to go for handheld IMO. This is a major leap for gamers and i would reccomend to any on the go gamer. Battery life could be better but buy the upgraded black one for that.

Way more than a Xbox gamepad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing keeps impressing me. First, yes it plays games. It plays Starfirld with zero issues. Forza like a champ. What I didn't realize fully is that this is a full on computer too. Attach it toa docking station and it is like a laptop . Well worth the pricetag.

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.

Can’t beat it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best purchases I’ve made. The power of a gaming desktop, in a portable handheld. I can easily take on trips and put down if the toddler needs me. Plug it into a dock and you’ve got a legit gaming PC.
I would recommend this to a friend So far so good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading reviews and first-hand accounts of the ROG Ally having issues with the SD Card reader, and purchasing/returning two open-box handhelds that has that I decided to buy it again once it went on sale. Been playing on it for a couple of hours a week and compared to before, the updates have helped with the overheating and keeping the SD card reader from burning out. I like the ergonomics of it and smaller size than the Steam Deck. I'll update this if anything pops up in long-term usage.
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

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.
