    Superb gaming experience. Playing triple A games on the go is a blessing. I have a very busy schedule so the only way I can game sometimes is on a portable device. It’s more than worth the asking price. Phenomenal display, great refresh rate, armory crate is pretty awesome.

    If you need a hand or want a hand held this thing is a beast. Cyberpunk 2077 1080p on med settings and fsr balance, i get consistent 35-40fps. I can drop it to 720p and get around 55fps. If you tweak this right and run at 15w, it handles almost anything at playable frame rate.

    You get what you pay for, a $700 low/mid range PC with a great screen and not great battery life. There's potential for handhelds to go somewhere, but it may take bit before we get there.

    Was torn between the ally and the steam deck and im glad I chose the Ally. Ive been using it for emulation of older titles, and it performs perfectly. It also plays full PC games with pretty good performance, although the battery life does take a significant hit in this department

    Overall I am really enjoying my Asus Rog Ally extreme but it's not perfect. Pros : - Runs games I play such as Fortnite because it includes Windows 11. - Driver support is very good out of the box because it includes Windows 11. - If you get the optional charger/dock, the Ally doubles as a portable PC. Cons : - The Ally uses Windows tablet/touch mode which can range from annoying to infuriating. In some cases you need an external keyboard to set things up due to the virtual keyboard. - Battery life is bad. Don't expect to get more than an hour and a half of playing something like Fornite with it on just the battery.

    I really love this device. The only issue is the storage and battery. I upgraded the storage to a 2TB ssd and it’s amazing. When looking at this product please know this isn’t a console it’s a computer and for a handheld computer it’s truly amazing

    What the rog ally does with windows to make it a portable experience is really good. Like all new things it takes time to get used to. I had a steam deck when it first launched, enjoyed every bit of it. Yes some things you cannot do on linux but it was still a great experience. Now going to the ally for the first time as a windows user was so easy. They really took some time and polished the handheld experience on windows. I would say if your a windows user, then the rog ally is simple to get started with gaming on windows on the go.

    Best gaming portable device. I also have the steam deck and this one beats it. The screen is the best part of the ROG! It's also compatible with more games without fiddling. The ergonomics are a bit worse than the steam deck. Battery life is as expected. The sound is amazing.

    Has performed up to my expectations, screen fps is unbelievable. Only thing keeping this device from getting a 5 star is battery length. If you want top performance you will have to leave it plugged in.

    Great hand held console. I was able to play the games that i like without my laptop that i usually use. Definitely can use a lot o the gaming apps as well to play your games from. Definitely recommend this console if you want to play your games on the move.

    I used to primarily be a console gamer and have switch to streaming games mostly on xcloud. This thing handles what I want and then some. If you are waffling on buying one go ahead and get it. For its form factor it is quite powerful.

    Gaming PC in your hands with Steam and Xbox.

    I've had this for about 4 weeks. Great system that at first felt a little complicated, but now it's super easy. It's not just a console, but basically a gaming PC in the palm of your hands. I bought the HUB to plug the unit in and then use HDMI to connect to the TV. I play Starfield, Halo, and many other games. Starfield I've got running at 40 - 60 fps on medium graphics setting which looks much better then those playing on the Xbox. The best thing about this is you can play Xbox games and Steam. Just make sure to get an Xbox controller which I find aligns really good with this. If you are a gamer - note PS5 controllers will not work with Xbox app - although will with Steam (I learned this after such a headache not understanding why it wouldn't work despite being synced). I highly recommend this - it's terrific.

    Great first attempt at a gaming handheld

    Overall ROG Ally was a good first attempt by Asus on a gaming handheld. Performance was great and easy enough to upgrade SSD. Only downside was specific to my use case - planning to use as my work system while travelling. 7" screen is just too small for doing work and just requires you to bring 2nd larger screen - which then defeats the purpose of a mobile setup. The GPD Max 2 and even Legion Go are better options for this hybrid use case.
