Asus found incredible.

A Great Product, but needs a Gaming Window OS
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, the Ally is a great product. I just wish the Windows OS itself wasn't such a memory and system hog, which eats up resources which could be better applied to playing today's games. Windows is simply a very sloppy OS, caulk full of junk and dead code. It's definitely needs cleaning. The Steam Deck beats it there because of its clean, and finely tuned OS. Either a very Lite Gaming Version of Windows could become available, and/or a future model of the Ally come w/expandable memory. 16 GB of system memory just doesn't cut it w/both Windows and w/many of today's games running.

ROG Ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome profuct. Bought it to replace my PC. Wish it came with the dock adapter instead of paying an extra $65
I would recommend this to a friend HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Works amazing
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! My husband brought this to my attention because I like to play Sims 4 occasionally and it was causing my laptop to crash. Had the Rog Ally for about 6 months now and never crashes. It does require more frequent updates than my laptop but other than that, it's amazing! It has all the benefits of a laptop, with all the benefits of the game console. Perfect combination

Well worth it

Works great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I enjoy the extra performance compared to the steam deck, but do wish there was alternative options to use than the proprietary external GPUs.

Love this console
