This beast is power hungry
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Aside from battery life this hand held is a beast! I recommend buying a long usb-c cable so you can play plugged in. Great system but battery is too small for such a power hungry unit.

Nice handled for the price, at the time.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked up the Ally while it was $100 off. Don't regret it at all. It's a decent little machine in it's own right, but as a streaming, and emulation unit it really thrives.

Good little beast
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ibought this thing to play Diablo 4 on the couch amd have loved it so far. It and similar games run great - i did have a small issue with the speakers crackling but i turned off dolby atmos and it sounded fine after that. Doesnt run super hot and network throughput is good.

Do it!
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this handheld gaming PC. Was a little glitchy at first, but after a couple software updates it works flawlessly. I think Asus really nailed this one!

I hook it up to a dock and portable monitor. I actually got to play starfield without having to leave my itx build in a hotel room. It all fits in a case thats actually same size as my itx tower.

Great handheld gaming device
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great havent came across any problems. I just cant get used to the joystick. Im a pc controller gamer and for some reason the joysticks on any handheld gamining device doesnt work good with me or I just cant get used to it. It was even easy to upgrade the storage on it.

Rog is not user friendly as a hand held
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although the graphics were amazing and it really operates like a pc, in order to use it as a hand held, it does require a bit of tech knowledge. My son and I never had the courage to mess with the settings to map the buttons to games, and the ROG settings were not as straight forward as they seem. So when we finally tried to do it we ended up messing up a driver. Good thing we were still on time to return it. Its just wasn't for us. Maybe we will try version 2.0 when it comes out.

Power in your pocket.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’d probably give this a 4.5. I’ve purposely avoided using an SD card, which is a problem many are having and ASUS has acknowledged. Plays most xbox games pass games, but wouldn’t load Forza5. I hear the steam version works though. Plays Diablo 4 and StreetFighter 6 well.

Top of the line performance
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was impressed with the performance of this portable gaming pc. It has double the processing power of a ps4 pro or Xbox series s I was able to run games like assassins creed Valhalla and kingdom hearts 3 at a good graphics setting smoothly

Great device with a terrible battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great device overall, but the terrible battery life and the fact it's running a resource hungry Windows 11 is both a blessing and a curse. It's great as you can play any Windows game (just about) but also clunky and loaded with bloat, like Microsoft Office (which you'll never use, unless you plan on using this device as a PC replacement, which would not be a very good idea in my opinion). Overall, I can't recommend it as the key aspect of this device is portability and that is significantly hindered by poor battery life.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great Once It’s Setup
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This isn’t its not perfect but as someone who is very familiar with pc and windows the setup process was annoying but not impossible. After that I really enjoyed using this device. If you’re new to the platform it’ll be an uphill battle but once you get there it’s so worth it.
