Don’t get this... yet.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately I had to return my Ally as my right joystick started to fail. It’s a Windows 11 device so it’s not very user-friendly. If you want something that’ll allow you to simply pick up and play, choose the Steam Deck as an alternative. The Ally has many software issues than will hopefully get fixed in the future. This device was definitely not ready for launch.

Perfect mini pc but it can get “spicy”
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If your a streamer this is a must have, you can your resources to stream then use it to play some light games or higher games at like 80ish fps

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome! A hand held gaming computer. If you expect xbox ease of use this is not the game pad for you. If your used to playing on a PC then you will manage just fine.

Its the best handheld to date!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Takes a lot to setup but if you do all the software updates and understand how to config your games is definitely worth picking up. I recommend buying the 65W Anker charger.

Test Your Ally Thoroughly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great for two weeks. SD card reader died and almost killed my SD card. Luckily my SD card is fine and it's just the ally... I got a refund for mine, Asus hasn't even announced the issue/cause so idk. I had other issues too just the nail in the coffin for me. See picture. Hardware failure.
