Amazing! Finally some Tech worth buying.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was torn between the Ally and the Steam deck. I'm glad I chose the Ally. It's amazing and so fun to game on and tinker with. It's a full on windows 11 pc in your hand that can play any AAA title with ease. Next upgrade will be a larger SSD and a better travel case. I'm not a huge fan of the official Rog one.

Great step up from the Steam Deck
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ill be traveling for a while so this is exactly what I needed in a step up over the steam deck. The screen is SO much better than the deck, and ill really appreciate that as I go. I'd say that if you didnt care about the slight perfromance gain / screen and currently have a Deck you should probably stick with that

9 years.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the first gaming system I’ve bought since the white xbox one sunset overdrive in 2014.. This is a great device. I feel like it has some software issues for sure that will be eventually worked out. Good to go.

Only if the battery were good.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give it a 5 star if the battery was good. Playing fifa Fc 24 on turbo mode drains the battery in about an hour. They really need to fix that if they make another rog device.

Best Handheld Gaming Device Hands Down!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal! It's a new device. Most of the issues are windows issues as well. I believe things will get better overall with this handheld. This has replaced my consoles already. People talk about the battery life as well. Someone said the fastest car is not going to have the best gas mileage! Remember that!

Great portable first gen
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for Fortnite as a handheld gaming pc. Gets hot and to get decent fps to play at least 60fps consistently. In the end the battery life was only 1hr and for the money just not worth it.

Console of the year
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Screen / picture quality is amazing. Smooth gaming experience Sounds great Runs windows which can be a plus or minus depending on the user and their knowledge of how to use windows. This is a full blown mini gaming PC. If you don't wanna use the built in controller buy a dock and connect it to your tv and use a Regular gaming controller Asus makes one for this. It doesn't have to be used as a handheld, you can use the included little dock and just use it to watch Netflix, YouTube etc. This isn't a console for kids. This is an adult console, meaning you have to read instructions on screen and follow directions, some games you may have to map your own buttons, so not for kids plus it has full windows so theirs that. Mature older teen 16+ sure great gift. So while it may look like a Nintendo Switch I would definitely not recommend this for younger kids or anyone that does not intend to put in the work with windows updates, and navigating, installing all of the gaming services. You can also upgrade the internal SSD if the included 512 isn't enough for you.

Its amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a good product. I think it still has a lot to figure out especially the out of box setup. However, it will run anything you throw at it and with the new bios update it runs with maximum performace. I have never owned a steam deck but this is a great alternative in my opnion if you have the cash for it.

Great Potential, but HORRENDOUS initial setup
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me preface this with, for standard users, this is not ideal or streamlined to setup. Asus has MANY bugs to work out. Upon initial setup, I couldn't get past OOBE for windows when trying to unit the password for my WiFi. Why? Because the onscreen keyboard didnt populate, as is common. You can force it up by holding tye rear bumper buttons and. Pushing up on rhe Dpad simultaneously, but i had to google that answer. Or you can connect it to a dock and external KB/Mouse and workaround it. Either way, highly annoying and terrible programming from Asus. Then, Armoury Crate continued to crash wanna pop up black acreens subsequently during setup. Overall, i spent 3 hours doing setup, and I'm a power user in Windows. I can only imagine how long it would take a normal user, or how many people just returned it. Likely why there are are a TON of openbox offerings in my locale now. Add in that PS Remote play isnt natively compatible and you gave to install Chiaki or otgerwise, and its a high fidget device that is definitely not ready for the general public. That being said, once you do get it all set, it looks great and plays well across PC games, Xbox, and even streaming. The lack of trackpads is annoying, but battery life is decent, and it is much more powerful than steamdecks top model in comparison.

Good performance
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was anew experience for me, coming from PC and Laptop was hard to adjust to the small screensize. However, this is a very powerful gaming device, I ran Warzone on Mid graphics getting 60 to 69fps

Amazing product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Essentially a gaming pocket computer, no complaints. My first handheld gaming device since the Nintendo DS Era and I have to say, I'm impressed. Pushes a lot less demanding games at 120FPS and can play pretty much every demanding game at lower FPS using FSR.
