Didn't care for it, waiting for something better.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're in the market for a handheld PC, I'd hold on a little longer. Installing/managing software here is a pain, performance takes a ton of tweaking for every game, and battery life is embarrassing. I could see certain use-cases for a device like this in its current state, but I think your money is best saved for a more streamlined device that will likely see the light of day sometime soon. Perhaps the SteamDeck 2 whenever that lands.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had for over a week and have lived every min with it. Took a little bit to get started and games loaded but the ROG Ally is the perfect portable gaming system.
I would recommend this to a friend Awesome potential
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think that the potential for this type of device is great. The unit I purchased had a bad die or some sort of hardware issue that caused persistent crashing. The recent update dropped performance by almost 30% if I remember correctly - which is still better than the Steam Deck. When it did work, it was great: had great visuals and audio, fit my hands well, and delivered an overall pleasant experience. All in all, I would say that you should definitely buy this if you've got the cash for it, just don't expect it to be as easy to navigate or as comfortable as your PC. If you're on the fence about it, maybe wait until the next generation.

Wish it had bigger storage

Perfect PC companion
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perfect on the go companion, I use it to stream from my desktop at home and on the go for indie games and most triple A titles on lower settings. Even playing helldivers on the go!

After 24 hours of play I can say
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is amazing. The negative reviews most likely lead to software updates which are a lot when you first set it up but after that its a breeze. High fps on Spiderman and Street fighter 6. Roms from super nintendo and sega run perfectly. A must have.

Love this handheld pc
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery could be better, but with the correct tweaking this handheld is a beast, while keeping the thermals great and the battery lasting between 1:30-2:30

Best portable computer ever
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been using it since the day I bought it and all I say is that this device is incredible. It's literally a pc in portable for. I would have liked that had more ram or another option to increase the ram but overall, it's very well worth getting one.

Great handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great hardware but the software experience is still lacking compared the Steam Deck. Once you iron things it out it plays anything you want well.

Watch out for the sd card not reading

Fantastic
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The initial set up is very annoying. After that I love it. Lot of Windows updates and Windows Bloatware. Clean it up and disable VMP & Memory Integrity. That will help Performance. I like this way more than the SteamDeck which was very good.

Great gaming on the go.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great gaming on the go. Battery is short lived, but a portable battery bank fixes this easily. I love playing my game pass games in the go. Make sure to set custom fan curves to keep it cool. The flexibility with this machine is nifty.
