It does what it's supposed to. Great hand held PC gaming experience. Battery life isn't the best and you'll find you may need to upgrade your internal SSD. As the micro SD card slots can fry your external cards. Otherwise it's an awesome gaming experience

This product is really good! I haven't played on my computer since then, it feels really good being able to play while I'm lying on the bed. One thing that I have to say: if you're not good at computers, you're going to have some issues after a while. This is not a plug & play device, it requires some tweaking so you can get the best out of it. If you're willing to learn Windows and you like computers then go ahead. I've been able to play some MMOs like New World, WoW, ESO; and of course some other games like Euro Truck, Bus Simulator, which work great with the gyroscope. For RPGs it is amazing, I haven't had any issues with any game so far. * Cons: - Battery life is not too good, although I don't mind because I play plugged to the charger all the time. Those 30W in turbo require constant power. - Windows, Armoury Crate and AMD can give you some headaches if you're not a regular computer person. * Pros: - Beautiful 1080p screen, it's not an OLED but it looks truly beautiful. - Performance is decent enough to let you play whatever you want to play at least on 30-60 FPS. Less demanding games can hit way above that.

The power it provides is unimaginable to me in this form factor. I use it for gaming , browsing and watching contents and it delivers excellence through vision and sound quality. Battery backup works well for my needs. Every device drains faster when you push them really high. It even hits 53 APU WATT while playing high end games on plugged turbo mode. Comparing the performance ,the price is really cheap. Its feels like something from future as I wasn't ready for this masterpiece. It can run everything smooth enough to convince you to buy one. I love my rog Ally.

This Handheld is literally the best gaming item I have bought it forever, don't get me wrong I love my Xbox series X and PC, but they ease of literally just grab&go play is amazing! Asus really put out a great product especially since it's a windows interface, the capabilities are just right for those gamers that want full customization as well as capabilities.. I got smooth gameplay with good frames for a hand held (60fps pretty consistently), the ability to change the wattage output higher for those tripleA titles or lower for the indie games makes a huge difference. You can upgrade the storage without voiding the warranty (very easy install or even easier in-store with the total tech membership [totally worth it]). I bought one for myself in June 2023 and have done soooo many things to it but to be honest haven't got to play it as much as I would like because my GF who isn't much of a gamer is literally obsessed with it (I ended up buying her one too). All in all I got a great product and my GF is gaming along with me more often! #MustBuy #GetTotalTech

Just what I needed and wanted. Perfect for playing games away from my main desktop and I’m still able to do everything I want on my main computer on my Ally. Emulation, modding older games, as well as playing a couple of AAA games is neat. I don’t see this machine replacing my gaming desktop completely, but it is an ease of access that allows me to use my computer without being stuck to a desk and worrying about a laptop’s air vents from being blocked and causing overheating.

Runs games decently well for a handheld device. Battery life could be better, but I always keep it plugged in. Storage is low, but is designed to be easily upgraded.

One of the best investment i could have made not only can i take it wherever i want and its easy to transport no hassle the battery life is okay could be better but its like a laptop with a built-in comptroller plays everygame I've tested from call of duty to fortnite everything runs smoothly

I got this specifically to play PS exclusives, indie games on steam and to emulate my switch and ps3 collection. Needless to say that I am not disappointed. This thing runs everything you can throw at it. Battery’s a bit sucky but that’s the tradeoff and its also a lot more portable than the legion go.

I love my Ally, I purchase this when it first came out in the first thing I did was add a two terabyte hard drive to it. I could use it as a full-time desktop if I really wanted to but I use it for what it's purpose was. I take this with me on every trip and sometimes to work. It plays every game flawlessly. Definitely considering getting the newest version once it is out.

So much better than the steam deck, sold it the day after receiving the ally. Windows can be a hassle sometimes but the screen is amazing and plays most triple A games around the medium settings. Battery is terrible but that’s the only negative

Overall I think this is a great device. My only complaint with it is the battery life, but since I play it at home or in my car, I’ve always got a charger nearby anyway. I wish these handheld PCs gave us 1TB instead of half that. Other than that this thing is phenomenal.

I am blown away with the Asus ROG Ally. I am coming from the Switch OLED and the Steam Deck and I can honestly say the ROG Ally is better than both. It is a little bit of a learning curve because we have to remember, this is essentially a laptop without a keyboard...but after a few hours of updates and just basic practice of using the device, you will end up loving it. For those of you who have the XReal AR glasses, yes - it works flawlessly. Do not listen to the fanboy Steam Deck haters. I myself will be selling my Steam Deck because of the ROG Ally.

Got this for my husband bc I was so tired of hearing about it for over a year. Now we can't go anywhere without it. Now he has access to the Play World of Warcraft or any other game he chooses when he wants to. He's happy, i don't have to hear about it anymore, so it's a win/ win!!! Lol it is nice, i did get him a nice sd card for it and hes in heaven with it. He says everything is great, that its easy to play on and do what he needs to do

I had a chance to play around with it and it’s honestly quite impressive for what it is. Played Diablo 4 well, plays Far Cry 5 and other games very well. Battery life is a little bit of a bummer, but we knew it wasnt great going into it. Plus we only ever use it next to an outlet anyway.

Performance and screen are awesome! Battery life is not sufficient for what this machine can do. Would be five stars but had to take one off for the battery. I suggest buying a 65w external to get the most out of this thing.

Love this for gaming on the go. Powerful and very easy to use

This system comes with its flaws, like many other things when they first come out. But what I really don't like about it the most... is asus's lack of communication with the community and the amount of software problems there are. I will say it is comfy, built quality is nice, and speakers and screen are amazing! But battery life is not good and it still needs some work done. I would have preferred the steam deck if I knew these problems would come with the rog ally. Be awarw of the 15 day return period. If you wanna test it out before deciding between the steam deck or the ally, definitely figure that out whithin 15 days. Other than this, i do really like the system. It has much more preformance than the deck, but at the cost, i don't think it's worth the extra money.

I have the high end Steam deck and seen that Asus Rog Ally 7 was available for preorder at Bestbuy. The selling points for me were better specs, better graphics, and that it runs Windows 11 vs Linux right from the get go. So far I haven't been disappointed. The game I like to play on Steam runs on the Rog but not on the Steam deck, so big win there. Secondly I like having a windows based system that is a handheld. This will take some getting use to in order to use windows the way I do on a P.C.. Doubt that will ever happen but atleast its an alternative for portable Windows, and my guess is Windows runs better on this device vs Steam deck. I dont plan to test this theory. I also think the feel of the Rog is a little better vs the Steam deck, possibly because it is lighter but maybe its the control placement or both. Both systems are very good portables but I feel the Rog can be used more easily for more things outside of Steam. The batteries on both systems seem to drain quickly but Im always sitting or laying down when I use these devices so as long as Im near a plug Im good. Internal Storage capacity is also bad on both 512gb is not enough nowdays but there are options to add more space on both. Until the Steam deck 2 comes around it appears the Asus Rog Ally will be my go to handheld.

I also, own the Steam deck. While I understand that the Windows experience is not as easy in some aspects as Steam OS there are other aspects where it's easier. Installing alternative launchers doesn't require a YouTube video. You just download the launcher from the website and go. The screen is way better than the Decks passable 800p screen. The performance is better but it's not a massive boost especially at 1080p. The Ally is not as comfortable but it's alright the software feels cobbled together. However once you get into a game it's amazing! The beautiful vrr screen at higher framerates is awesome when it's possible. Mw2 plays around 80fps and looks great! The battery life isn't great but I don't know when I won't be near an outlet or have a battery bank when gaming for hrs. The buttons and sticks are fine. The sound is amazing. The sd card issues need to be fixed though. The bios issue was fixed so you can update if you want. I love it. I have no issues with my unit.

I wanted my Ally for the ability to play my PC around the house when I don’t want to sit at my deck. To be able to play games in bed or on the couch and it does that perfectly. I truly only have two problems with the Ally. 1) The SD card slot. This has been well documented now that the SD card slot will fail and take your SD card with it. Asus has tried to fix this issue but it still happens and will most likely take a whole redesign to fix. 2) Personally, I am not a fan of the thumb sticks. This may be something I just have to get used but I think they are just meh to ok at best. The battery life is comparable to other handheld PCs but with the included 65w charger, you can have almost a full battery again in about an hour or less. Overall I love my Ally. I would definitely lookup reviews for it to see if it’s something that fits your needs before you send the money.
