Preordered first day it was available!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it! Had to return first one as I preordered and got very first batch. But second one is working great minus a tiny clicking noise in right joystick! Performance is better than steam deck, I willl make a warranty claim later down the road for the clicking sound or replace the joystick myself. THIS IS A PC! Not a console. You will have to play around with settings and stuff to get them where you want for frames per second etc!

Best handheld hands down
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this device it’s fast responsive and portable. I love playing all my offline games on it. Perfect for traveling gameplay. My only complaint is the analog stick core (pole holding the grip) is soft plastic and rough gameplay cut into the plastic. But analog stick core gaurds came in clutch.

Best handheld for high end specs.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best handheld gaming device I've had. Can play up to 2 hrs on highest mode. Very nice for traveling. Superb graphics and frames. Just overall a great handheld. I've played every day for a few months and it's just overall better than competitors. Better battery compared to any other competitors

Windows >
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fun and simple. Windows 11 makes using this device even easier. I sold my steam deck for one and while I do miss the steam deck for the simplicity and ease of use with valve; I forever prefer Windows. Especially thanks to Microsoft for not integrating the game pass on anything other than an xbox or windows os. (/s)

Z1 Extreme Ally is WAY better than Steam Deck Oled
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing! Super powerful handheld. I’m a ROG fan so this product definitely meets the expectations of anyone who uses ASUS ROG products. For transparency, I also have the Steam Deck Oled (Limited Edition) and I highly prefer the Z1 Extreme Ally anytime I want to get some game time. The Oled Deck is lighter and the platform offers a console-like however, the SteamOS just lacks the compatibility Windows 11 and features that aren’t matched (unless you’re somewhat versed in dev). The only let downs I have with the ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is that it 1/2TB isn’t a spec that’s offered and also, the product was supposed to include a 3 month trial for PC Game Pass but I didn’t get one. This is probably because I purchased it Open Box from BestBuy. Aside from these, I LOVE this handheld and highly recommend to anyone in the market but undecided between the various options out there. If you do get one, I recommend grabbing a 2TB m.2 nvme ssd and run a debloat program to remove the pre-installed apps/programs that run in the background eating up memory.

Best handheld on the market right now
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im a steam deck ower and was looking for something better. this ROG alley has over shadowed my expectations . I have the Z1 extreme and im overcome with excitement with the way it runs smooth with AAA games with no issues … if you want your bang for your buck, definitely get the $699 one you will not be disappointed. On a scale from 1 to 10 definitely a 10’in my book

Better than Steam Deck
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is amazing. I have this and the steam deck and let me tell you this thing blows that out of the water.  It can play Diablo 4 on medium settings at 70-80 fps! I have also tried GTA 5, rdr2 and Cyberpunk. You really can play any game as long as it supports controllers, but at the same time you can hook this up to a monitor,keyboard and mouse, and treat it like a gaming PC if you wanted. The possibilities are endless!

A great handheld PC for those who dare
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To keep it short and straight to the point, the Asus ROG Ally is an overall fantastic PC handheld device that comes with the compromises of a first-generation iteration. You will be able to play most of your favorite PC games on the go, you'll no longer be limited to a desk or carrying a gaming laptop around. Setting up the ROG Ally is going to take effort, but if you are familiar with PC gaming you already are used to it.

Husband hasn't spoken to me in days
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've lost my husband to it! He is obsessed, he plays it all day and late into the night. It works better than my desktop, the graphics are good, and its versitile, basically the best option for anyone looking for a even more portable laptop. Im gonna need to get one for myself when the desktop breaks. It really feels like the future of gaming. The device is great 10/10, I just miss my husband is all!

Great Handheld, Dont listen to the haters
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a learning curve if you haven’t ever PC gamed before and even if you did especially if you havent ever handheld pc gamed before, there is a learning curve. Dont whine, just google search your issue and a solution will come. Windows is hard to wrap around but with due time you will master it. Getting the device from Best buy was my only issue. Definitely better than my steam deck running windows thats for sure!
