Excellent on-the-go gaming. This is a fantastic platform for those who want the full windows gaming experience.

Not a fan of this device at all it has windows 11 on there so if your not familiar with it and all its little issues that go along with it then this is not for you. Tinkering is a must to get most games to a playable state, which is fine but if your coming from console “this is not plug and play” like say a steam deck and or Nintendo switch. Battery life is terrible plan on purchasing a power bank and or be somewhere that has an outlet. SD card reader is a common problem with this item, this can be remedied by installing a ssd inside the unit and or using adapters on the outside of the unit which in turn will work also. Choice is yours when it comes to purchasing this device personally I wish I would have returned it during the 15 day warranty that Best Buy offers, but now I’m stuck with it going to put it up on eBay or marketplace to get some money back from my investment. More power to those people who swear by this device that’s cool just realized it’s not for me and that’s fine also

Amazing handheld gaming pc! This definitely exceeded my expectations and the software it comes with is very polished and optimized. I love all the overlays that are implemented so it makes using the device easier. Armory crate is a must and makes the whole experience feel very console like. The fact that it’s also windows 11 makes it possible to mod games and achieve everything your desktop can do. In my experience 512gb of storage is enough I already own a desktop and I usually play one single player story game at once so 512 is plenty. I’m currently playing atomic heart and always get over 60fps on medium to high settings at 1080p. I’d definitely recommend this it’s awesome to be able to bring your pc everywhere you go

The main thing I believe everyone gets wrong when they buy is that they think it's a switch. Wrong it is basically a very small gaming laptop that if you want to have the best performance you need to keep it plugged in. but for everything else it is easy to set up and plays everything I have thrown at it. I would warn you though make sure you play games that are more for controllers than keyboard and mouse because you can connect them you just have to have a Bluetooth version of them. Lastly, you can play it on battery just note it will drain very fast maybe will last 2 hrs

Very convenient for gaming, has good graphics. Doubles as being able to use for PC related things (word, excel, school). More portable than a traditional laptop.

Great device for playing AAA games. Battery life is not great and there are sometimes software malfunctions with Windows 11, but overall a powerful device.

I have run Diablo IV on it as well as retro games through Steam assisted by EmuDeck. Such a great piece of hardware. I love that its full Windows 11 and can be tailored to your needs instead of being at the mercy of firmware updates from a single source. Armory Crate by ASUS is efficient enough and everything else can be handled in Windows. I recommend the $65 wall adapter that also serves as a go between for USB-C and HDMI. It is great if you want to dock the handheld from time to time. I’m seriously also considering thr external GPU for future updates to this portable gaming computer!

Before buying the ASUS ROG ALLY, I was very confident that there would be some bugs/issues early on with the device. As a PC gamer, I was very intrigued with this product since it was announced. For the most part, the ROG ALLY peforms fairly well. However, the latest bios update provided by ASUS has cut performance by 15-25%. In many games, that is a massive performance hit, even at the lowest settings. There is also some issues with deadzones on the controls. I am worried because ASUS made a widespread announcment that the deadzone issue is equivalent to that of compeititor brands. A response like that hase very worried by how much adequate updates this ASUS product will receive. Overall, games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare have performed exceptionally well. Many games that do not peform very well such as Hogwarts Legacy are not at fault of ASUS but poor game optimization. The ROG ALLY surely has great ambiitons, but one just has to wonder, will ASUS do their part in porperly updating this down the road?

What a great piece of tech! I've never been much of a PC gamer, but this has swayed me. I've been playing games on it I've intended to play for years across Steam, Game Pass, and the Epic Game Store. And I even discovered I could use it for ultra-portable full-PC work in a pinch. (For me, the question is always, "Can it write?" And the Ally certainly can.) I know some people don't like the fact it has full Windows, but this is a big plus in my case. I wasn't certain I would actually use the Ally, but thus far I've been using it every day and absolutely love it. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely love it Great device I have a lot of fun playing on it Best of all I can take my PC library on the go with me definitely would say get one if you can.

The screen is just too small for portable gaming now a days. the bezel is huge and the performance and battery life on this thing just are not up to par

I absolutely love it. I got a great deal used and it's a MONSTER of a machine!

Let me just say this is one one the most innovative pieces of tech in a long time.High end gaming at the palm of your hands!Will require alot of updates at first but once you get past that its truly a joy to play...

This is a windows device thats come with all the headaches of pc gaming. If you come from pc and want another way to play an endless amount of games on the go, this is a solid opition. Next consider your use case, how long are you going to be away from an power outlet and what kind of games are you going to be plays because the battery life is short! If you got a use case that centers being around a power outlet or playing older/indie this is a great luxary to play on but not a great optio.n if you want this as ur main gaming device

I have had this product for a few week's now and i use itnalmost daily. I did a lotnof research on handhelds before finally buying this one. This product is definitely the best. My only complaint is battery life. You can only use the cord it comes with to charge. My other cords that fit will not charge this device. Im not sure if the adapter makes it so all chargers work but overall im satisfied with this device just wish the battery was better.

I love this product. Was skeptical of buying because of some known issues but had since been fixed. I bought mine new and haven’t had any of the issues people have had. I’ve clocked 15ish hours on it. I purchased it for a long flight and thought it would be fun to play some games. It worked out great for me and I don’t plan on returning it. Only thing is the controller feel is a bit weird. I would like it to fit my hand a bit better. But the storage is great, battery has performed well for me, the screen is absolutely amazing, doesn’t over heat. I played for 7 hours on a 12 hour flight. I had it plugged in majority of the time and never over heated. Great product, would recommend.

Honestly one of the greatest pieces of tech ive had the opportunity to hold in my hands. An emulation beast, affordable thanks to that ML cut-back of the Ryzen 7 7840u. High refresh rate and really low response time delay. Those speakers can speak from every angle. Its an amazing time to be a gamer, apart from the broken AAA titles being released, emulation will be your best experience here from Odyssey to Switch. Hopefully next rendition of an ASUS handheld places the SD card somewhere where little heat is being generated, also wishing soon Windows is released with a handheld/gaming version without all that unnecessary background processing for a gaming device that drain the battery.

It does everything I want it to do no slowdown runs smooth lightweight decent battery and the ability to connect to tv for big screen gaming is great

It was rocky in the beginning with all the updates, but once that I have everything the way that I need it, I can't get enough. I'm playing COD on the go and this is all you need!

A very powerful device! I bought a dock and gaming keyboard and mouse and it runs perfectly. Playing all my pc game’s traditionally AND portable! One of my best / most used purchases In a while.
