    Harware is amazing. Top of the line and good quality. Software ruins the experience. Windows 11 is horrible for handheld touchscreen devices. Overall 4/5.

    Very cool, looks beautiful, just not as user friendly as a steam deck. Though it is much stronger and runs games at better fps.

    Great little gadget. This is definitely not for beginners but there are plenty of tutorials available online. Can't believe how far we have come.

    I love this device. I have not had any bad experiences like some others. The battery is the biggest flaw so I bought a charger bank for more game time while on travel. Hasn’t really died on me yet with that.

    Wasn't bad, problem is the overheating of the SD card slot. The graphics card is only 1GB so be ready to tweak settings

    Nice that a handheld can play real games like COD. I am actually very happy with it. The only thing that might help is mouse and keyboard. The screen has a great picture. Touchscreen is a little lacking.

    I have had so much fun with the Rog Ally. Only downside of it is that it consumes the battery quickly when not plugged in but other than that it’s a fun toy

    The performance of the device is good and can play anygame well and AAA games when pushing a higher wattage but the battery is so horrendous that it only lasts and hour or 2 trying to perseve battery. Only worth it if plugged in t9 the wall. Also have had issues with the sim card being burned and no longer working.

    Awesome!! I recently welcomed my 4th boy into the world and this is the perfect handheld system to get the gaming in while laying with the baby. Diablo 4 runs very smooth. Perfect for emulating as well.
