    Picked up one of these to be able to play Diablo games on it, and its handled everything I have thrown at it since. Awsome handheld computer that can also dock and become a desktop computer with an Amazon dock and some peripherals. Edit: Bought my wife one too! Now we can game together.

    Bought this July of 23 it is July of 24 and I have to say I am impressed with the rog ally. The 512 gb sad wasn’t enough so I ended up upgrading to a 2tb which is really easy to do.

    Great performance for a handheld. Shoddy software from Asus but hardly a deal breaker. Multiple graphical options (outside of games' own options) to improve performance and/or picture quality.

    Amazing device! Definitely a learning curve if just starting out in PC gaming. I only play AAA games and have had very few issues once getting settings properly set up.

    This thing can do it all. It plays all of my games library at or well above 30 fps. I have had no problems with it so far. Asus has done a great job of updating armory crate and adding features.

    The ROG Ally is an amazingly versatile platform. Running the full version of windows allows all the OC game stores to run. This feels like a worthy successor to the PS Vita in the power handheld market. The Switch just didnt have the power to software flexibility to cover the gap.

    This small gaming PC is fantastic, provided you don't dwell on the cost; you'll adore it. Just be sure to follow the instructions to make some adjustments for better battery life, and you'll be all set.

    I absolutely love this device. From the way it feels in my hands, to how well it runs is great. Ive been able to run Modern Warfare 3 flawlessly in multiplayer, not to mention Starfiled on ultra. I would recommend this device to everyone.

    I love this handheld. it's like having a PC in your hand. The graphic is out of this world. i never had a handheld like this. I would recommend this to everyone i know that likes video games on the go. The only issues is the battery you need to have a backup battery pack.

    I really loved this for my boyfriend considering we travel a lot due to his job. He is able to bring it everywhere he goes considering it’s a smaller device compared to a ps5 or an Xbox. I definitely would rate this product a 10/10 ⭐️

    So.... i own a steam deck and also bought this too... the biggest thing that stands out for me is the screen. It is comfortable in the hands but i also do love being able to have all launchers in one place with no issues.

    What a great purchase this was! As a previous owner of a Steam Deck, I can confidentaly say that I made the right choice. The screen is immaculate! So clear and crisp. The software is being updated consistently. Do yourself a favor and if you want PC gaming on the go, grab one of these!!

    If you like to tinker with tech, this thing is awesome! It's fun, runs most new games with controller support, just what I expected. Not for someone who doesn't like to tinker with tech as there is some minor jankiness.

    Gaming PC in your hands with Steam and Xbox.

    I've had this for about 4 weeks. Great system that at first felt a little complicated, but now it's super easy. It's not just a console, but basically a gaming PC in the palm of your hands. I bought the HUB to plug the unit in and then use HDMI to connect to the TV. I play Starfield, Halo, and many other games. Starfield I've got running at 40 - 60 fps on medium graphics setting which looks much better then those playing on the Xbox. The best thing about this is you can play Xbox games and Steam. Just make sure to get an Xbox controller which I find aligns really good with this. If you are a gamer - note PS5 controllers will not work with Xbox app - although will with Steam (I learned this after such a headache not understanding why it wouldn't work despite being synced). I highly recommend this - it's terrific.
