    Love my ROG ALLY. I was a day one purchase, followed all the instructions via YouTube reviewers and never had an issue. I use this on the go and at home when the kids are watching the TV. Used with external monitor. Love it.

    I've been nothing but impressed with the ROG Ally. The performance surpasses that of my steam deck, plus the added flexibility of installing from other sources.

    Amazing and fun unit. I find the tinkering and setting up aspect more fun than actually playing games. I've had zero issues with my Ally outside of things dealing with software updates. If you're reading reviews on the Ally, just get it!

    But for all you tinkerers this is pretty fun. You can jame a 2280 SSD into it. Not sure on the thermals but with a little cutting it fits. It is buggy out of the box so I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, but I have personally enjoyed playing with it

    I had a steamdeck prior to purchasing the Ally. I really enjoyed my steamdeck, but i decided to try this out and fell in love. I was easily able to access my xbox and ps account without issue. All in all this is a fantastic handheld device!!

    Powerful little gaming device but pricey. For the price you could just go with a PlayStation but if you want portable this is great.

    And it is a blast... Plays everything i throw at it... If you know windows and are comfortable with that operating system, this is your handheld... If Windows is a big confusing thing to you, a stream deck may be a better choice and more console like...

    Bought it for emulation and diablo 4 in bed. Does exactly what it supposed to do. Yeah windows is a little janky to set up, but jf you play pc long enough you will get used to it real quick. Unlimited potential with external graphics card. Simply in love

    Great system for gaming, the windows OS s a bit clunky and wouldn't be great as a standalone pc replacement but it's a powerhouse for gaming on the go!

    Great handheld!! Was looking for a windows based handheld gaming console.. love the way it feels, easy to hold. The only draw back is the battery life. If you plan on playing for long periods make sure your plugged into an outlet or external battery.

    Excellent product. Like all Windows products, you have to be patient and work around some quirks. Overall the performance is great for the form factor.

    The ROG Ally is an excellent piece of tech. I got it to primarily take advantage of my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription to play PC games portably. Set up was straight forward and I haven't used a Windows computer in the last 12 years.

    ROG Ally is the perfect system for sitting on the couch and gaming. The Z1 extreme is great at running what you want without too much complexity. I run Warhammer Vermintide 2 average 90fps at 900p medium settings.

    Great for gaming but it takes quite a lot of time and patience to set it all up before using. However, it is worth it to play PC games on a handheld device. Battery life is pretty terrible.

    I wasnt sure how the Ally would handle gameplay being that its a handheld but this is amazing. It will also let you use xbox game pass and PlayStation pass to play on the go, the Steam Deck wont even let you do this. Would recommend

    Honestly i wasnt expecting to be so impressed with the capabikities this little hand held has! The screen quality and frame rates im seeing are great on games like baulders gate 3 and cyberpunk 2077.
