changed the way i game, can play any game i want wherever i want, is a game changer for sure

easily best investmant I've made. It goes everywhere with me. Yes, the battery life could be better and the screen a little larger but it's been ideal.

Love this little monster! I was finding myself getting more and more into emulation, but I wanted to take my Steam experience away from the desk too. The couch, bed, you know, the Switch life, but PC master race style. Any of the negative talking points to the Ally are mostly subjective and speak to how the user intends to care for their tech. I purchased a dock for my TV that supports turbo 30w and extra I/O. All that flexibility, and I don't have to pack my "laptop bag" when I travel. Got it open-boxed at a great price. Win, win, win.

As someone who is a pc gamer and have tried many portable options (steam deck, asus flow z13, laptops and nintendo switch), I can truly say that this device has the most power. My steam deck runs windows as well and has a hard time playing cod but the ally can on low medium settings. To be able to add the asus egpu will better expand the chances for higher resolution and ugraded settings. I would recommend this device to others but as long as you know how to work windows to get the best out of your experience.

If you're on a budget for a gaming handheld, this is the one to get. The battery is poor so plan on playing in short bursts, have a battery pack nearby or install the battery mod.

I’ve been having handhelds since the game boy so I know how far the handheld gaming industry has come. If you are new to PC make sure you watch as many videos as possible. It can be a bit tricky for a novice with no patience. It can run anything thrown at in and has ton of customization. Main drawbacks are the battery(which is to kinda be expected), not the greatest thumb sticks in the world( you get use to them, and eventually someone will come out with 3rd party ones). I mean it truly is a handheld gaming pc. Have some patience with it and you should enjoy this ride as I am. PS….My wife loves it and she never liked gaming at all!

I love the fact that its practically a portable computer and just with a hotspot from my phone I can play all my games on road trips and at friends houses. The only issues is the mirco sd slot not working after 1-2 months but I found a work around for it so im not concerned.

Great device. FIFA 23 works perfectly at 900p. Battery life is bad. Barely lasts 1hr15min playing FIFA.

A great portable system. I love taking it to work with me. Only thing I wish for is a longer battery life while unplugged

I love the light weight, color, and display. The only complaint is the buttons and joysticks aren't that good.

I have a number of handhelds now including the steam deck and oneXplayer mini 6800u. After using this about a few weeks I can say this is by far the better machine. The cooling alone and how quiet it is when using it makes it the best as of now. You can get more fps due to the ability to raise the power in the armory crate manual mode. I normally play plugged in and it can boost to 50w making this thing put out higher fps than all other competitors.I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

really cool portable gaming pc quality is good and the softwares are super good so far no issue and it runs most of my steam games

The Design is what I appreciated the most. Holding it feels natural. However it is heavy and it is impractical to play on charging all the time. But besides that its amazing.

This was a slight learning curve as you need to know how to set it up, but it has been a game changer. I absolutely love love love this. I can play all the games I want without needing to take up a whole tv screen or be at my PC. Definitely recommend. Just know that it will take a bit to get used to. Looking up help guides really saved me time.

ROG Ally runs games very well, shocking for a handheld. Does tend to warm up a little when playing a high graphics. Buttons feel good and responsive. Overall really good handheld

Amazing. Have a library of PC games that I have not been able to play due to time constraints, kids and work etc. So being able to play on the go with this portable beast is a pleasure. Armoury crate seems to work very well, would take some of the critic reviews with a pinch of salt since they are mostly outdated with the number of updates that Asus have been delivering. There has been an issue with the SD card, it did seem strange that the bios I was running would allow the system to run at 90C. I purposely avoided this and since they have released an updated bios that runs with much louder fan profile and lower temperatures

This thing is very light. I love how it looks. I appreciate being able to navigate windows with the thumb sticks. VRR is a nice thing to have as well.

Way better than steam deck. Every game i want to play i play it without having to do a bunch of stuff to make it work. It just works!

Runs most of my games with ease. Definitely worth the pick up

The initial startup is kind of a mess. Keyboard didnt work when connection to wifi so i had to use a dongle and hook up an actual keyboard. 2+ hours of updating just to get everything up to date. I really love the design of this handheld, but software needs way more work. Performance is fine, though i wish it was better. Its a neat device but if you alreadyhave a steam deck just keep that. I personally dont think this is worth the upgrade. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who doesnt like tinkering!
