    I used this device on a recent 10+ flight. On performance mode, it got me a good few hours of playing time. I attached the usb charger from the airline seat, and although slow, added additional playing time. The controls were good, although a little uncomfortable holding up the device while playing. It really helped pass the time on a long flight. Being able to use this as a desktop computer also helped a lot while on vacation. Not sure I will use this while I'm at home, but definitely has huge advantages on the road. I played Titan Fall 2 on this trip and had no problems with the game. It played really well.

    So far is being good machine, except on turbo mode to be too hot, I really enjoy playing games on it. The sweet spot is to customize to 18 watts on playing games.

    Love the ROG Ally for the performance. What it lacks is battery. Truly the only thing bringing it down.

    It's a good device, it's not perfect but it works great. There are times when it's clunky to use for typing but the more you use it, the easier it gets. I found using either reddit or asus for the recommended game settings gives the best results. Following those settings can make the difference between keeping and returning the device. The last problem is it should come with a 1tb hard drive. The 500gb fills way to fast. I would only purchase the extreme version and highly recommend purchasing a larger hard drive.

    Good performance, great screen. Runs silent. However, since the screen is 1080p I seem to get similar performance to the SteamDeck @ 800p.

    The screen is awesome, comfortable to hold for long periods of play. The battery life is a joke, but it's great for short play sessions during my lunch break.

    Im a very dedicated gamer, i dont compete but its what i love to do. My primary gaming PC is very nice, 20 core CPU (hyperthreaded), 3080, liquid cooled, flashy lights everywhere. This isnt quite as nice as that. But for the price you pay its astonishing how much preformance it puts out. I actually bought this for my daughters christmas gift but of course i opened it and preinstalled all the windows updates and got her games ready. I tested several out and they run very, very well. Can i say in the longrun how good the battery life is, or if the joy sticks drift, no. But if it runs even remotely as id expect it to over time its an excellent baragin for the price.

    Amazing. Only downside is the battery life, but its great for playing games around the house snd not being tied down to a desk or TV. Would recommend 100 out of 100 times.
