    Wanted to love it. Took hours just to update and download a game. It functions like a tiny PC which is great but it needs something like Steam OS. Im not sure if that has been implemented but when i initially bought it it did not have a system like that.

    Battery life sucks. Kept freezing on me too. I wanted this for diablo 4, but i couldn't get it to run even in turbo mode. I updated windows, the bios and the amd drivers. Not sure if i got a bum unit, but returned it either way.

    Best handheld hands down! I got mine about a week ago and can’t put it down. I know some say the steam deck is better but for me this one is better because of the ergonomics and the buttons set up

    It took me a couple of tries to get one where the buttons didn't stick but I noticed the third one had premium joysticks and the buttons sounded slightly different. I think ASUS decided to use different components. I would highly recommend purchasing one. It runs on Windows 11 so if you're familiar with Windows OS using the ROG Ally will be a breeze.
