    I received my Ally and took my time to set it up. It is a powerul device and i connected the 6850 XG Mobile - WOW - this is a powerful machine and exceeds the PS5 and XBOX Series X. There are a lot of updates to complete so patience is important. Once it is fully updated the experience is great. This replaced all my consoles

    My unit had no problems except for the static noise issue. Software experience was rough at lunch but has been slowly improving. Takes quite a while to set up and get used to it , but its worth it for someone who wants to play PC games on the go.

    I was tossing around this or the Steamdeck for a while. I went with the Ally because it will basically do it all. If you're familiar with windows, you'll be fine with it. Having Game Pass was a bonus because i just signed into my account and got access to games right away. Emulation on this thing is top notch too.

    Absolutely love it. I have not found a game that it can not run yet. Runs Genshin Impact wonderfully and Payday is a joy to play as well as Binding of Isaac and many others. Well worth my money. Not to mention the looks of it. When I am out and about, the number one thing people say is "What is that, it looks sick"

    Debated with myself for a while on whether to pull the trigger and get a Rog Ally, and I can’t say that I have been disappointed. Not a big windows person myself so wasn’t sure if it was for me. Would definitely recommend buying even if sitting on the fence about it. You can’t beat gaming while on the go!

    The hand held is pretty good but the only problem I have with it is the battery life. The battery depending on the game would as about 1 hour at best. If going to travel with this you need a good power bank.

    I've been using this device for a few months now and absolutely love it. It is more powerful than my desktop gaming computer in many ways. One of which is that it runs Starfield perfectly while my desktop cant! It takes some getting used to but now it has become an everyday carry item.

    I found the Ally a little more difficult to set-up being that it runs the whole windows operating system. Which does have its benefits in the long run, this allows for more game launcher programs and the ability to run more games than the Steam Deck. My only complaint is how quickly the battery can be drained.

    Best Handheld experience for AAA gaming/windows

    Plays every AAA game very well. Best of all, you can lower the resolution (since the display is so small) or enable FSR and you can't even tell really unless you are looking closely. Boots up in seconds and can load into a game within a minute or two from booting up.

    One of the best handheld i have used in a long time. It runs the extreme z1 processor and windows so I can run steam on it and many of my games on it as well. It has a 500 gig drive but you can always up grade it. Its super customizable and easy to set up. Thank you for reading my review

    I love the asus Ally to death. It does have a SD issue on some units but ignoring that its the best handheld ive ever seen or used!! Also best buy has done a wonderful job handling the issues with SD. So its best to only buy it at bestbuy as they are handling each customer with care.

    Good handheld system reall no complaints. If you are running some of the more intense games it does get a little glitchy but with a handheld thats kinda expected. Would buy again. So far ive played jedi survivor, need for speed and madden all ran excellent.
