    I'm seriously impressed with the ASUS ROG Ally handheld. This thing is a game-changer, and I'm not even exaggerating. The graphics are mind-blowing for a handheld device – it's like having a mini gaming PC in my hands. And guess what? It charges crazy fast too. No more waiting around to get back into action. The controls are buttery smooth, and I've lost track of time just diving into games on this thing. Plus, the design is just top-notch. It's sleek, it's modern, and it feels great to hold. Seriously, if you're into handheld gaming, the ASUS ROG Ally is where it's at. It's like ASUS read our minds and delivered the goods. Fast charging, killer graphics, and pure gaming awesomeness – what's not to love?

    This is an amazing product. If you are a PC gamer that wants to play anywhere I highly recommend this product. Where the Steam Deck excels the ROG ALLY goes further. Having Windows is both a negative and a positive. Being able to play all your PC games from any launcher is fantastic. ASUS onboard controls and settings are quite accessible and gives you a ton of control on your handheld experience. Battery life sucks we all know it but there enough accessories in the world to overcome this issue.

    One of the best purchases I've made in a while, if you're looking for something to travel or walk around the house and game. It works perfect. Also, if you get the dock it works great as a gaming computer.

    Love this thing, great performance in a really small form factor. Easy to upgrade or do maintenance on it. The only issue I've had with it is that a bit of hair builds up under the sticks over time, but that's a really easy flx.

    Absolutely everything I wanted and more. Yes, the battery life leaves something to be desired, but I haven’t glitched out of any games. I have played Overwatch 2 online with no lag +60 FPS. Can’t wait for more!

    The Rog Ally is very great for on the go gameplay. The only thing really negative is the battery life. I recommend buying a power adapter for the car. Other than that its a 10/10

    I bought one at launch and returned due to issues, gave a refurb a go and will be returning also due to issues, but the software and BIOS updates have been nothing short of amazing - and this is ASUS we're talking about, who make some of the absolutely worst software inflicted on the PC industry. I disable the auto-install of armory crate on my motherboard but the ally variant is solid. I am pleading with you ASUS, hall effect sticks and 32GB at max speed for the Z2 Extreme variant and it'll be an absolute success.

    The bad thing about it.

    Impressive, a powerful, versatile and perfect console to play the best games, many options to choose from, and entertain yourself for many hours, and do other things (many, in fact), you have to be subscribed to Xbox, playstation or steam, but hey, nothing is free in life, and less good things. The battery lasts depending on what you are doing, it is adaptable, however the long charger gives you the opportunity to continue enjoying even if the outlet is not nearby. I just wonder. Why doesn't it come with a case or something to keep this amazing console safe when not in use. The bad thing about it; nothing, so far, A day it doesn't have enough hours to enjoy playing with. Many features I'm still discovering...

    [Employee of bestbuy] For time when it was purchased a great new product. Had it for two years and served its purpose. Was able to get semi decent battery life while playing AAA games considering what it is. The idea behind a handheld is great, but definitely needed more time to bake. Playing hooked up to a power source if possible on the go is ideal and you’ll still find enjoyment from playing on the go. I used this a bit when traveling on planes and at the hotel. Either docking it to a tv or monitor to laying in bed. It was nice to squeeze in a hour to three hours of playtime without feeling too cumbersome. Ideally if this were priced $150 cheaper than its original listed price this is an easy no brainer. But even at current pricing or deals you’ll find some use in the product.

    This thing still blows my mind, and I've had it for a week. Just downloaded battlefield 2042 yesterday, and it plays it so well. I'm blown away at how convenient tech has gotten.

    Initial setup is BAD. Keep in mind the the armoury gateway app and this product are new. After setup headaches aside, it is amazing to witness the fluid screeen and high perfomance this little wonder deilvers
