Amazing handheld device
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been one of my most favorite purchases. I have opinions on Windows but the benefit of being able to easily install different game stores and play any game outweigh any other frustrations. I did upgrade the storage immediately to a larger drive, which was pretty easy but depending on what games you play you may not need to.

A beautiful machine!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Able to play all my game pass games and diablo 4 without fail! With a separate power adapter it becomes a whole desktop ready for work on the go as well. Asus regularly updates the machine too, nothing else i can ask from it!

Best of the 3
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simply an awesome device. Slightly edges out the Legion Go and Steam Deck mostly because those have a portrait screen and no VRR. ASUS control interface (hardware settings) is super slick, no lag.

Rog ally good but not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. Not really a console experience more like a laptop with a controller attached. And it is running windows. But I have had no problems with mine. Not to say it’s a perfect product but it does what it’s advertised to do

Good starts, can only get better

Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its been very good so far, there are hiccups here and there but its the same with any windows based device. I haven't had any issues myself but I dont use the micro sd slot.

Not ready for launch.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Software is not ready, there are missing drivers that Asus doesn't seem to provide, you have to sit through 4 hours of updates and set-up before you can attempt to play anything, then you'll find a bug that requires a total reinstall of Windows. The set up experience is very very poor. The fan is not "silent" when running the device at a usable power profile. When reviewers called this device "light", I don't know what they were comparing it to.. I find it heavy and cumbersome to use. The SD card slot straight up does not work on my unit. I'd say most of the issues are software related, and until those are fixed (if), hold off on this one. I'm getting better game performance streaming games on a $299 Logitech G Cloud.

Excellent portable gaming pc
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great little device. So far I've been having a good time playing my games on it. It wasn't difficult to get started either. After going through the windows setup and logging into steam I was downloading games right away.

Great device
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device, especially after all the updates from Asus. Handles all games, including triple AAA. I also love the fact how modular it is. Very easy to replace most of components you will ever need to replace.

Perfect Handheld Device
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.An amazing device, with the ability to upgrade the SSD and the access to steam/PSN/ and Xbox game pass, it is the perfect handheld gaming device for on the go or just sitting around the house.

Buy this, a dock, and an SSD upgrade. kthxbye
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly much better than a steam deck. Pick this up as a mini computer. Use it as an emulator. Use it for steam. Use it for pdfs. Use it for managing your home network. It is great. Just get one already.
