The best Windows handheld computer, with the best design resulting in the best performance.

Baterry live , could be better, its deplete quicly if i may ask for a change is a bigger ssd

Hey, look, its a PC. If you dont know how to download updates before you start trying to play games, then dont buy this then whine about it later. If you dont mind doing some updating installation and configuration, and your PC games library is not mostly on Steam, then this is probably what youre looking for. It plays Gamepass and other systems including Steam natively. The reviews are true about battery life. Its not great. I play plugged in most of the time so its not an issue for me. Expect an hour to 2 hours of battery life. Great system overall though!

Build quality is great, remind me of original Game Boy. It's very comfortable, performance is amazing, very quiet, for this price no competitor at all.

Prior steam deck owner. Currently listing the steam deckok ebay. This thing is so versatile. Pair it with an xg mobile and it can be a main machine, plays vr, can do productivity work, and can obviously do handheld gaming. Speakers are loud and clear. Display is fantastic, though i wish it had oled because i love oled. Some folks complain about windows being clunky with touchscreen, this is true, however you can use steam big picture mode or playnite in fullscreen to launch games just fine. Definitely worth checking out. Oh and if white isnt your jam, just skin it. I got a camo skin on mine from m2skins. Last minor gripe, only one usb c port. Would have liked to see at least a usb a as well.

Outperforms other handhelds like the steam deck and has an amazing screen. Only downside is not great battery life when in performance mode.

Man this one is awesome to play all sorts of games on. Get it!!

Awesome PC on the go. I bought it for my son's birthday and he absolutely loves it. It's perfect for gamers on the go but only downside is the battery doesnt last that long if he plays on it continuously.

It could be so much better. I’m giving a 4 because overall it is a good handheld overall and I like it over the steam deck. But it is buggy at times I have to reload games a couple times for them to actually load. Sound profile is good for a handheld device. And games look really good. I’m hoping they work out some of the bugs cause it is really a great handheld. And for the price it is a competitor to a lot of the windows based handhelds out there!! I am very satisfied with the Ally I upgraded the nvme and added an SD card and they do work flawlessly!

I've had my rog for about 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I'm not really a PC person - at least not right now - so getting a rog makes a ton of sense as my other "nintendo switch". I've also expanded the internal SSD so now I have approximately 2TB of storage instead of the original storage amount, and that makes a ton of difference! It does what it says and that's a wonderful thing. After upgrades and updates, I can control my mouse freely with my right stick and some keys - that's a nice little touch. If you happen to grab one that's open box but in great condition - like I did - it's 100% worth the money.

Its been a complete game changer. Being able to play current titles anywhere i go, it was worth every dime. From taking it on flights to playing Diablo 4 while on work trip. Absolutely recommend.

Ended up selling my steam deck to a friend after getting the ROG Ally, but it wasnt exactly an easy choice. The ally is awesome because it supports more than just steam games like the steam deck natively does, but unfortunately windows on a handheld is still not really great. While the steam deck has strange issues like sometimes just not powering on and then needing an update out of nowhere The ally has all kinds of other issues like the game center just not working sometimes and also the keyboard being a little well bad. If all you care about is performance and playing games on something other than just steam get an ally, otherwise you might be better off just getting a steam deck.

Has been great so far! Been able to play all the games I’ve been wanting to play on it. Only wish I was able to buy the system with more than a 500gb HDD. (Upgrading the drive was simple enough however)

Not bad, plays most games. Battery sucks so you have to be connected to power most of the times or get a battery bank and maybe get an extra 2 hours.

The best handheld I ever had. It can game pretty much any game the PC and etc...

Great device for on the go gaming. Good performance for the price. Battery life could be better but it's okay.

Hands down the best handheld ive had in my hands! Performance is next to flawless on just about anything ive thrown at it. Runnin just about every game ive played at 100-130FPS without any problems. Dont let bad reviews from reveiwers that obviously dont know how to use a computer lead you away from this! First thing you should do is hop into the AMD settings software and tweak settings to your liking and boom. this thing becomes a major powerhouse! have had ZERO issues with over heating, zero issues playing any game i could possibly want. Dont hesitate, snag one!

[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.

Love the versatility of it this device, can game in so many ways, wish there was more storage and a bit better battery life, my only cons

I know there have been a ton of people claim defects and issues since day one, and this is my own personal experience, but i haven't had a single issue you yet** knock on wood*. There is a bit of setup that has a learning curve for anyone not firmliar with windows OS, but being a "PC Gamer" im not shy to jumping right into it. There have been no issues with the sdcard reader (I'm using a samsung pro plus), my entire steam library, epic games and gog with a copious amount of roms on it all run smooth. I have no regrets and have no intention of returning my unit.
