High Performance. Best handheld on the market.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm extremely impressed with the overall performance. More importantly, there are plenty of recourses online to tune the ROG Ally to get optimal performance for your games. For example, I'm able to get 60 FPS with Cyberpunk 2077.

My Precious
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have a 4090 i9 13th gen desktop and this little machine still blows my mind. Yeah you aren’t getting 120 fps in starfield….but you’ll get 50-70, and other 3A games you’ll get similar. Makes the steam deck look like a leap frog

Great little machine.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off it's not as user friendly as a Steam Deck. But the trade off is it's more powerful and access to your windows games on Game Pass or any other non Steam service. I love mine. It won't replace my gaming rig but it's perfect for on the go.

my experience

I would recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Sd card reader
Great Performance, significant issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being aware of the SD Card issue I was cautious with the fan curves and keeping an eye on temperatures. I played in the high 60s low 70s deg with aggressive fan curves. Still it cooked my SD card. Granted I can just upgrade the NVME, ignore the sd card port and move on. Acceptable if this was some cheap device, which is not. Is a pricey handheld with significant flaws and to my knowledge this has not been officially resolved. Unfortunate as I truly enjoy using the Ally.

Great device. Almost perfect.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is amazing. It does everything so well for a handheld. Windows just needs a mode to make it easier to select things. Using the joystick for a mouse works but can be tricky sometimes.
I would recommend this to a friend Good handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice handheld but screen too small would prefer something with a bigger screen.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Screen quality
Amazing handheld.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its got a 1080p VRR screen and it has the Z1 Extreme APU. It does whatever you want, you want AAA games? Change it to 720p or use the 900p mod thats looks just like 1080p but can run games faster. Ive had it since release and i love it.

Versatile Gaming
