Amazing handheld. Solid fitment, great compatibility with games and perfect performance

I pre-ordered this the second I could. The storage is abysmal at 512GB but you can upgrade the M.2 SSD or add you own supported microSD card. Expect to keep it plugged in most of the time if you only plan on using the "Turbo" 25W mode. The buttons don't feel cheap and it's not heavy. You can't feel the heat while holding it but wow it can get hot. The Ally definitely feels like it was made for people who already have a gaming rig.

Runs games incredibly well while plugged in and games graphics hold up when only on battery as well. I definitely agree with other reviews saying that the SD card slot is not ideal as it does get quite hot in that area. I would recommend buying an SSD upgrade but has space for plenty of games without. It is basically a tiny fully functioning windows PC

The ally rog is a great product for being out and about or at home. The device is not too bit and light weight. The vibrant screen with 1080p, 144hrz, 60 fps make everything look clean. For anyone that is a beginner techie there will be a learning curve for this device. Also if you use YouTube for your source of information take it with a grain of salt. Not everyone have the same outlooks as you or me. So do your own research.

Amazing hand held. The battery life could be better but the screen the fps is great

As the title says i love this unit a lot. At first i didnt like it due to the controller not working with some games or other games not wanting to download correctly. I updated the software and bios and 95% of all the problems went away. The battery life isnt the best but like every handheld its kinda expected , i carry a portable charger with me and its not an issue. Highly recommend since it can be used as both a PC and a handheld.

fantastic product. works and performs just as advertised. only real downside is short battery but that is a known issue and sufficient for most gaming sessions. i not inly use this for games but also for work on the road as a semi laptop replacement. performs perfectly as a regular win 11 device as well. my only real complaint is this should include a 1tb or larger drive. the stanard drive is far to small and i was looking for an upgrade after a week of use.

I am not loyal to any brand of handheld. I had a steamdeck and also the Legion go. This is far superior. Its design is great, it’s the perfect weight for a handheld, the updates have finally made it easier to use, and it is easy to upgrade the hard drive. I love the screen and the vrr which is a must. I can play Elden ring at 48fps without sacrafising much detail. It may not be perfection but for playing games on the go, it has been the best experience. A must have for gamers. Well done Asus!

The specs of this thing made it sound really appealing but in practice it's not that great. I have to run games on low graphics settings and even then it barely reaches 60fps. It also gets hot if you play while charging even if you reduce the power output. I've measured up to 95°C. It's also not comfortable to hold. The grips are way too thin. I'm sure that part is better for the new xbox version that has extended grips. Overall I think this would be a decent $300 machine. I was lucky and got it on sale for $450 comspred to the normal $700 price, so I didn't overpay by too much but i still feel like it was too much for what it is

First, I want to emphasize that the ASUS ROG Ally is a fantastic piece of hardware. Being able to play my full library of Xbox, Steam, Epic, EA, and Battle.net games on the go or in bed is a game changer. There is a known issue however with the SD card slot not being recognized or not working due to the fan location. That's where the reality sets in and the value starts to decline -- Support. The ASUS Support center is extremely difficult to navigate, some analysts are misinformed or dismissive, and the RMA process is complicated and lengthy. And of course, if it's beyond the first 30 days, Best Buy does not provide any solutions. Buyer beware of the pros and cons of this purchase.

I picked up the console on launch day. I love the console, but there are a few issues. One, my SD card reader is not functioning. Two, I would love to dock the ally, but the only one which functions with the turbo tdp of 45w is Asus dock. That one is $65. Overall I've had fun playing pc games on the go. The screen is fantastic, wide color gambit. The speakers are some of the best I've heard on a hand held gaming console.

ROG Ally rocks! Insane performance, vivid 120Hz screen. Best Buy’s fast shipping and top service made it a perfect buy!

Its great for what it is! I primarily use it to stream my more powerful gaming pc and PS5 from the couch or bed. However, i can run most games natively albeit with some tweaking if I don't have an internet connection. I will say if you plan to only use the device to stream your gaming pc, do yourself a favor and get the non extreme version. Definitely a better version of the ps portal which is another reason I was even considering such a device.

The amount of things you can do with this is incredible not to mention you can take it on the GO! Runs a little hot at times but a simple search on YouTube (something you can do on this) you can fix that right up! Had to let mine go due to some medical complications and I miss it everyday:(

It was a rocky start at first but after about 2 hours of set up and updates, its a really nice handheld. Also keep in mind to treat this like a pc not a normal handheld console.

It's a awesome little device that makes playing pc games really convenient to pick up. Battery life seems to only last 1 percent a minute which personally is mybiggest gripe. The fried sd card issue is something that should have been problem solved before the product was released though.

Soo, crazy thing I did was sold my main gaming rig and got this instead due to me having a newborn and needed some extra room plus I don't have time to sit on my desk anymore not with a baby so this little handheld really has blown me away when it came mes to performance and portability. Just absolutely joy to play on this thing! It basically became my destiny 2/diablo iv/PC gamepass machine! No regrets at getting rid of my gaming PC. Good job, ASUS! If you're a gamer dad, I highly suggest picking one up and you won't be disappointed!

Wonderful little handheld. Battery life isn't great (you'll see pretty much every other review mention this - just get a battery pack). Performance is great - sound quality is phenomenal and I'm an audiophile so I was blown away by it. Could use some tweaks to the menus - but great. I use mine for emulating and older modded games.

i was going to buy a steam deck, but have had great experience with asus gear over the years. the ally is no exception. plays all my games at medium settings and great frame rates. combines all the best of a console and a gaming pc in a small portable package. windows isn't the best interface for such a small device, but with a little patience you quickly get familiar with whats needed. a great gaming device.

As a former steam deck owner, the Ally is awesome. It plays every game in my steam, battle net, and epic library. Not a single compatibility issue. The power is amazing, especially when plugged in. Screen is crisp, refresh rate is great, and the armory crate software is awesome and removes the annoying parts of windows. I highly recommend this over a steam deck if you are looking to do portable pc gaming.
