    Amazing feat of technology, it truly feels like I’m holding a nasa computer in my hands. I can play any AAA game I want whenever I want. I’ve used Asus for a while and I’m very impressed by the ally, thank you so much for making this amazing product!!!!

    This thing is pretty powerful! I'm a steam deck owner and now ROG Ally. I haven't had any issues with it at all, but it really slurps down that battery when you boost up the wattage. The interface is great, and they've done an excellent job in making the usability awesome - after updating windows of course :)

    So I got Rog as a Christmas present and this handheld is a beast! It’s made gaming so much easier and the best thing is I’m able to take it to work with me and game in my downtime. Highly recommend this to any gamer.

    Ally wins Handheld PC round 2.

    Pre ordered this and received on July 13th. I had it for about two weeks and the Left Joystick started loosimg x and y axis. It completely stopped moving Left and Right soon after. I looked up the issue, and it seemed to be a common handful of folks experiencing this. I will not discredit ASUS or Best Buy as they were great in understanding and exchange for a new one under ASUS's warranty. I took it to my closest Best Buy and exchanged, new one is working flawlessly. As a Onexplayer 6800u, and Steamdeck owner I can safely say Ally won this round. Onexfly is releasing soon with a 7450U which is similar in power to the Z1 chip.....but for $1000+ USD. Get the Ally if you want a handheld PC at this time. It wins in the power dept as of now and you can enjoy 99% of games in 1080p 30-70 dps in maxes settings! I have a manual OC mode with maxed fans and it hovers mid 60c! Armory crate overlay is very easy to use also. Even if you are a Steamdeck owner it's something to think on. I also threw in a 1 TB micro sd with 150 read and its max speeds all the way.

    Wasn't sure if i was making a mistake or not picking this up but even now, 1 month into using it, I still do not regret getting this and i dont think that i will. Runs everything I've tested really well and it's been nice being able to have a nice mobile PC.

    Unlike the Steam Deck, the ROG Ally is more optimized for a great Windows experience that allows users to utilize desktop applications that other handhelds can't deliver. Whether it's gaming on the go or editing videos and pictures, the ROG Ally delivers with its performance and optimized experience.

    I have had no issues playing and using this device while traveling. I have taken it to LANs and to work to game. Solid purchase i love it. Make aure to get the Asus dock charger and snag a bluetooth mouse. If you want to MKB, but if you like to use game controllers it will work just fine

    Probably the best cost-effective handheld console at the moment. Great ergonomics and software optimization. Only couples of caveats, sd card coocker and expensive external gpu options.

    This was a good machine, and I have no regrets. I will say before you buy, you must know how to navigate a windows computer fairly well if you want to use it to its full potential. Battery sucks tho (I’m never traveling so it doesn’t bother me)
