    I didn’t expect to enjoy the ROG Ally as much as I do. It runs GTA V and Hogwarts Legacy super smooth, especially with the upscaling. I was honestly surprised how good it looked and felt on a handheld. It’s wild having that kind of power in something I can take anywhere. I barely touch my main setup anymore. If you’ve been thinking about getting one, just do it. Totally worth it.

    Light, portable, good looking with a built in finger print reader and excellent screen. However, the well known Micro SD overheating issue along with my unit frequently freezing made me return mine.

    Very good runs most games and havent had any problems what so ever. Controls are pretty easy sometimes you need to do some key binds but other than that super simple. Battery does die pretty quick if you have all the settings turned all the way up but I just keep mine plugged in

    The title says it all. If youre looking to play PC games on the go, than this is what you want. It can do everything the steam deck does and more. Battery life is kind of meh, but its a litteral laptop that lets you play PC games like its a switch.

    I was actually surprised how well this runs games, I have played pretty straining games and it runs great. Speakers are good quality and can get loud. Doesnt get too hot while playing and the fans are quiet. Screen is very vibrant. All around great product.

    I'm surprised at how great the ROG Ally plays games. The included 3 month game pass ultimate ensures you'll have games to play before you decide what games you'll want to spend money on. Battery life is a bit short depending on game but it charges pretty fast even while actively playing.

    Love the Rog ally performance is sweet, dislike the minor bugs that affects the sd card to none usable and the bios update 3.19 is still bugged performance suffers. Stay with the bios 3.17. Better performance. ASUS is still supporting software updates.

    excellent performance in all the games that I have tried from the steam store, gamepass and epic, both in portable mode and connected to a dock, the battery lasts about an hour but charges in half that time, the joysticks are not good for shooters but being a pc with windows 11 it has compatibility with xbox controllers

    It might not have the bigger battery or the more ram/V ram, but it’s still super super cool to have everything on the go. Especially with this specific product the Z one extreme check will handle anything you want on the go. The screen is fine enough just wish it was a little bigger, especially with those big bales. Nothing bad to say about it.

    Why not. From a deck user. The ally is the next best thing. It’s exactly what you expect. Which means. It’s rocket fast. It plays anything. The sound is top notch. The screen is gorgeous. But it’s windows. It’s not a switch or deck like super easy console. Requires knowledge of windows. Reddit will be your best friend

    It’s loads of fun if you know where to set your expectations when getting into it. I’ve definitely heard about a lot of people returning since it isn’t as seamless as something like the Steam Deck. It has a much better screen and performance. It’s great once you’re in game, but getting there can be tricky pretty often.

    I enjoy the size, portability and premium feel of this handheld pc gaming device. Asus has continually been pushing updates out to improve the software experience. After returning the Legion Go due to the shoddy software, the Ally is a much better device for gaming on the go.

    The system works great, but the setup is rough. You have to go through many system crashes and re enter the same information over and over. Once you get the system updated then it works very well for such a small computer. I use with a 65” HDTV so screen size is not a problem. The onboard 7” screen is clear and easy to use but I am old and can’t see small stuff so well. All and it was worth the money.

    Best part of this device is the screen. Super vibrant and contrast ratio is much better than my Steam Deck with a lot less backlight glow (though still wish it could have been OLED.) As far as power, this thing does magic for a handheld. Haven't had any issues running the games I want to play with decent framerates. My main issue is the ASUS software. Armory Crate is just really buggy. Often times in the quick menu, options will just completely freeze up and not work. I don't think the FPS limiter works at all. It makes doing any minor adjustments a bit of a pain. Hopefully, just like Valve, ASUS will continue to support this product with software updates to make it something truly special.

    A pleasant surprise, works really well, and plays all my games without any challenges so far with very high responsiveness in high detailed modes. Light weight so easy to hold and play for couple of hours. Pretty good first attempt for a handheld PC
