Solid little Computer!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid little computer which perfectly meets my gaming needs. Powerful enough to play all the games I love on the go. Perfect for traveling and even better with the external battery pack I have.

Great if you know what to expect.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are computer savvy and know what you're getting into this is a pretty solid device. Preforms games well but it gets hot. Really warm. Design was done well and I question some of the layouts. Windows is a weakness and a strength. If you know how to navigate a PC you'll enjoy tinkering to get things working. If you want something that just picks up and plays, get a Steam Deck or a Nintendo Switch. Also, don't buy a MicroSD card. It will fail from whatever reason. It's the main reason there are so many returns of the ROG Ally. ASUS needs to do a recall and fix it.

Asus rog ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Doesn’t work the best when unplugged. Glitches over to different websites that I’m not personally touching to do. Mic quality is only good through discord not Xbox. But love playing on it.

Such convenience!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having a handheld PC like this has been great! In the home i stream games too it via Moonlight and with wifi 6 and AV1 encoding/decoding the latency practically non existent! Outside the home being able to load up FFXIV when im on wifi has been a game changer! Offline games are of course much easier to deal with. The other day inwas at Disney world and while waiting for a show i was able to quickly check my retainers in FFXIV and send them on ventures! Loved that. Playing lying in bed, fantastic, the Z1 Extreme is wuite powerful, and Asus has been committed to improving this device which is fantastic!

Almost a great handheld
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's pretty impressive how well it runs some of the more demanding games when plugged in. Battey life and game performance drop quite a bit when unplugged. I returned the system after 10 days. My memory card stopped working and my joystick started drift a lot. Great idea and if they fix some of the issues I may get one again but I did not feel like helping Asus work or the bugs.

Hands Down The Best Handheld Device Available
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love it. It is a more than capable gaming handheld. The sd card area does get rather warm though. It makes me worry about its viability. Other than that, i would most definitely recommend.

The Mighty lovable beast!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.easily runs top AAA s at respectable frame rate. no issues at all. sound quality is mind blowing in games and display is way ahead of Steam Deck. found thumb sticks to feel cheap but in compare to Steam Deck but performance blew me away that I can easily bear with that plus I found windows not be as bad as many reviewer mentioned and infact easier to run multiple game stores and Xbox game pass is a unmatching value if you ever wanted to compare. overall super satisfied and will for sure sell my steam deck! I just wanted to thank Bestbuy for making this conveniently available at my and many other locations. Great purchase that you will never regret if you ever thought about having your games on the go. Can easily replace your desktop computer too!

Review
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good, a little issue when opening the keyboard when first use but know I figured it out. Gaming is good but I wish the battery could last longer, it's really light and a good size, already upgraded to a 2tb.

I Returned the Legion Go for This
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought a Legion Go and returned it to buy this. Main reasons I prefer this over the Legion Go/Steam Deck: Runs Windows (vs Steam Deck) 16:9 resolution (vs Legion Go) Button layout (vs Legion Go) Much lighter (vs Legion Go) The Legion go had some significant problems running some games because of the odd resolution. The screen is nicer, but that doesn't matter when it can't play the entire library. The games that did run well had control issues because of the strange button layout.
