    Love my mobile gaming and the fact I can take my games that are more offline based with me and not have to lug around a big laptop for less. Also cool it plays COD without much issues. No issues even after many updates. Definitely recommend getting an sad card or expanding the storage when you can.

    Was not sure about this purchase being that I own a steamdeck, but wow, this thing rocks! Lighter, smaller and more powerful. The windows experience is more to my liking than Linux, and the user interface is more my speed. Only downside is that cases and other assessories are hard to come by.

    Workhorse of a PC. It’s basically a laptop in a handheld form. Windows could be set up a little friendlier to select what you need when in hand held mode vs docked. Just wish it had more RAM and battery life. The left stick was a little loose and I’ve already upgraded the SSD to a 1tb unit. A little awkward in the hand, could be more ergonomic hence my purchase of a grin to fit better in the hand and not cause cramping.

    ROG Ally Battery Life :(

    It's an awesome handheld but the battery life was a dealbreaker for me. I already have a high end gaming pc so having it docked really has no benefit to me. But It runs most games very smooth at low to medium settings. If your a person who has experience with pc gaming and windows pc's in general, you should be fine setting up the device. But I can see why some people had trouble with the setup. If its your first time turning it on you'll probably be setting up windows and updating drivers for about an hour before you'll be able to start downloading and playing games. So if you don't care about the battery life get it. But for me its a no go.

      Dear Jurocket,

      We're sorry to hear about the unfortunate experience you're having with the unit battery life. There's a possibility that there are background apps and Windows updates causing the unit to perform as it does. What we've observed with the Windows 11 operating system is that once the unit is not being used all background and installed apps will cause the battery to drain quickly. We do value our customers and take negative customer service experience very seriously.
      If you should have any other concerns or feedback feel free to reach out to us at customerloyalty@asus.com. We'll be happy to provide a quick resolution to your case. Please refer to this case number (N2306022696-0017) for us to better assist you.

      Thank you for choosing ASUS!

    I am in love with my Asus Rog, I love the fact that I have to sit at my computer when I want to cozy up on my sofa and play my cozy games. I love the portability this offers. I did have some issues with the first purchase so I took it back to bestbuy and they swapped it out for me. I havent had any issues since. My con to this is the battery life, I wish it was longer.

    This device has been one my favorite purchases in the last couple of years. It actually has become my laptop. I gave the device three stars because there are some things that could be better. All in all its pretty good. Pros: -Windows 11 so it compatible with most things that are compatible with windows11. -Awesome sound. ( I hardly have to go beyond 20 out of 100) -Awesome performance -Storage is upgradeable Cons: -*BATTERY LIFE* ( yes I meant all caps) -Sticks seem a bit light (I would like a bit more tension on them) -Factory Storage size ( Though its easy to upgrade) -Only one color to choose from

    This where i do 80% of my gaming for the last couple years. Absolutely love it. My only complaint is that the SD card slot does not work which is apparently an issue with the model I have. Could have submitted it to be fixed, but seemed like too much effort.

    It's a windows handheld for better and for worse. There are a few bugs in the software still BUT they are worth putting up with. The device continually surprises me with the performance it can pull off. The battery life isn't fantastic but I find it's just enough for my use case.

    an excellent device. It is faster than steam deck and you can feel it. The fact that the screen feature is full hd and 120hz makes the difference. but you also feel the optimization problems caused by being windows 11. problems that can be fixed with updates. Perfect for playing Diablo 4.

    Great competition for the steam deck, great screen size and display. Gets a little hot after about 40mins of use but seems to stay at a usable temp. Battery power is a lacking a bit, but with recent upgrades the battery capacity seems to be improving. Overall i give it an 8 out of 10

    1st Skeptical, Completely Proven WRONG!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Okay. So I am going to be honest, I was highly suspicious if this product was going to be able to deliver the performance, FPS, and most of all comfortability and HEAT! So I went it to this wrong in the 1st Place. BUYER BEWARE! I purchased my “1st” Unit Open Box because Best Buy described it as in “Excellent Condition” and with the savings of $42.00 I figured I could use that towards the purchase of there $39.99 ROG Ally Official Case. Fast forward. When I got home, Did all the updates. Tweaked around in the Armoury Crate. I loaded some games up. And I got stuttering and worst of all the left bumper had no input. So after doing some research Quality Control is a bit Wonky so Inreturned back to Best Buy swapped it out for a Brand New one. Loaded up all the games again, tested everything, and everything seems to run at a smooth 60 FPS, (tested Valhalla, Cyberpunk, Need for Speed Unbound, Gears 5, Overwatch and Spider-Man Miles Morales) Fans are super quiet. I am super happy now!! I rated it 5 stars because the product itself is EXCELLENT. If you run into a defective unit, just return it back for an exchange. Best Buy return policy is EASY!! No questions asked just a simple swap and I paid the diffrence in the open box price versus the Brand New Sealed price, but well worth it! Again, Excellent Product! Good job Asus.

    After following this annoucement of the Asus Ally, this has been one of the best gaming handheld Windows powered devices to date. Ridiculous power, great screen with high fidelity, awesome frames per second on my favorite games. Easily one of the best intial releases of a gaming handheld guaranteed. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting a fun fast gaming handheld.

    Great product! There are a few bugs here and there but I see its potential use as a desktop alternative. battery life leaves more to be desired but with what it is capable of I don't see it as being lacking per se. There is definitely a need to remedy some bugs but the fixes are easy to find online.

    takes a while to set up, it's a bit buggy as a first generation product, but man, once you get it to work, the ability to play any game on the go is awesome. the battery life is short, but i only play in bed with power outlet so it's fine. definitely a niche product and not for everyone.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Like the title says, i did return this product. The performance qas great, games ran good, windows 11 was surprisingly less of a hassle than i expected (although still bad), it just came down to the battery life and longevity concerns. The battery lasted an hour at most for me. This was miserable, and because batteries degrade in quality over time, this is gonna get worse not too far from today. On top of this, its windows 11. Something like the switch has a purpose, even after its dead. It has games. This is just a windows 11 pc, so its probably gonna get 4 years of life before its not supported. So do i love it? Yes! Its just 2 or 3 years from now when games get more demanding and the battery degrades, its just an expensive paperweight.

    I really like the device, compared to Steamdeck I feel it is better because it will play all Windows games. To do that on Steamdeck is a pain. Diablo 4 and Call of Duty both play on this device no problem. the only knock is the battery does not last. Also the accessories are over priced.
