    Nearly perfect, very powerful especially coming from the the steam deck. Takes a little tweaking to setup. SD card reader has issues, but it doesn't matter since I upgraded the internal SSD. The screen is amazing and VRR is a must have now

    Small screen and less than stellar battery life but power is there and device is light and easily portable. Just wish it didn’t have the rog “gamer” look about it quite as much.

    Awesome handheld for that gaming session that cant wait while nature calls. Unplug, take it with you, finish that dungeon, wipe and done! Good specs for a few bucks less that other Windows handhelds while being a few bucks more than that OtherOS handheld gaming device.

    I absolutely love my ally. It plays all my games beautifully. I have had some issues with it running hot, or sometimes the controlls glitching. Other than that it is an amazing device, I just wish the HDMI port was included instead of having to buy it separately.

    Nifty device, powerful, feels good to hold. It didn't quite have the ease of use I was looking for, and not every game plays on it well. Steam games were hit and miss, but Baldurs Gate 3 ran great. Loading up Xbox live games was a real treat, and Forza 4 and 5 played incredibly well. It's also easy to mod, because it's just a literal handheld computer, and I got Fallout: London running smoothly. If it's your jam, go for it. It wasn't for me, but it might be for you.

    If your looking for a moblie pc set up and dont mind a shorter battery life its perfect. Storage is abit on the smaller end and the SD card issue complicates that abit more.

    So I tend to over research everything to find the biggest bang for my buck. This is it! If you're considering this vs the base vs the more expensive Ally X I cannot recommend this enough. It has the same processor and screen as the X with a smaller battery and less RAM. That's it, get a large external battery for cheap that has a PD port of about 65w or more and you can play this thing nearly all day. Performance is amazing and it can even function as a desktop PC with some setup. Get it!!!!

    Nice job on this handheld gaming system, smooth graphics speed and controls. It's a mix of gaming and a mini PC. Gets a bit warm during some games you play.

    Overall great device Asus finally stepped up and the latest updates make this thing great. Definitely factor in the SD issue problem though because I believe it is hardware related.

    Excellent product. The convenience of having a portable PC. No problems just need to know how to use a PC. Only modification i had to do was get a 2TB SSD. Was able to replace SSD myself, very easy install.

    Most of the issues you can see them on YouTube. I love the device since I travel for a living but wish the battery lasted longer. Since I upgraded the SSD to a 2TB there’s no need for the SD Card reader but mine failed and now trying to get some support from ASUS.

    Ok, as a Steamdeck owner i cam out of the gate with some expectations. For the most part those expectations were met however there are a few things this needed before going to market. One it needs its own software for ease of use. Now i have been using these things for 40+ years. Im talking about the folks who aren’t as familiar. Armory Crate is fine for RGB control but it sucks as a game launcher. Second it needs a bigger battery, if you are runbing this on Turbo mode for best performance, youre only going to get about an hour or so out of it. And thirdly less bloat

    I was skeptical at first but the performance well exceeded my expectations and unlike the Steam Deck Oled this is a hand-held Windows 11 high-performance PC. Not a Steam OS handheld that doesn't run every AAA title.
