Love my Ally
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely my favorite tech device. I love it! This is a must have for gamers itvahs placed my very powerful gaming pc and new generation consoles. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend Pretty Great. This over Steam Deck any day.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty awesome console. Got this after my steam deck. Ended up selling the steam deck since this console is far more superior. Led thumb sticks. Can’t beat that. Could use more storage but I bought a 1tb micro sd card and that give me the storage I need. Only concern I’ve had with it is the main program that helps manage all your games and apps can cause the screen to completely go black and unresponsive while running games. Easy fix was just resetting my console. Haven’t had the problem since.
