Other the the sd card slot being an issue, which i knew about ahead of time, i love this device. Plays anything i throw at it and feels great when holding.

This thing is great. Bought to replace steam deck and it does not disappoint! Runs triple A games at 50-60++ fps. Very easy to use and feels great in my hands. Highly recommend for the mobile gamer!

fantastic gameing device plays most modern games at med-high settings flawlessly integrated gpu hardly effects gameplay n its easy to tweek when you need more vram overall happy with it plays better with better stats then the more expensive steam deck with more compatibility to games with the built in controler configuration.

Much more difficult to use than the Steam Deck due to this running Windows 11. If you can get over the inconvenience of trying to run Windows 11 on a handheld device with no keyboard or mouse and on a very small screen, then yes you can do more than a Steam Deck. Other than that, the Steam Deck OLED has much better battery life, is easier to use, and doesn't require a TON of updates out of the box. Asus' Armoury Crate software is NOT designed for this machine, and I had to factory reset the device twice while trying to get the necessary firmware updates installed due to the software crashing mid-update. Also, any device manufactured in 2023 is likely to suffer joystick issues, so buyer-beware as Asus says they will cover it but has been known to deny coverage if you even opened the device to, say, install more storage. Oh, and don't forget about the SD card slot issues with it being right next to the fan exhaust!

I like the ASUS rog ally because it can play more of the games that I own than the Steam Deck. It's not the huge leap in oerformance over the Deck that i was hoping for, but its definitely better.

I really liked this. I actually sold my steam deck and bought this. The screen is much better, it looks cooler, and it is faster. Most importantly it runs Windows by default, which means I can run Fortnite and other games without jumping through hoops. Unfortunately, my SD card failed after about a month of use. This is a very commonly issue if you search and appears to be a design flaw. I am returning it until there is some resolution.

The perfect device for on the go also fast and easy

Very powerful handheld I had an easy process setting it up idk if it’s just my unit but everything just works seamlessly and smooth. Worth every penny it’s playing games my steam deck couldn’t play.

I have a steam deck and this. This blows the steam deck out the water. Only thing is battery life is terrible. But shocked how well this runs

I bought this “open box excellent” and it didnt work out of the box. Was stuck with the log in screen despite all the trouble shooting I did. Exchanged it for another one which ended up needing servicing 15 days in (so was unable to return or exchange). Got it working fine now. Its a bit of a finnicky device, but its able to play games well and can do a lot. Battery life is short so dont expect long sessions.

It Runs Games Amazingly, but it Overheated and ruined my 1tb Micro SD and the Battery is really bad without a battery Bank on Demanding Games

Love gaming on my ROG Ally. I wish the battery lasted longer. But aside from that, I definitely recommend for on the go gaming.

Very compact but yet powerful machine. can pretty much run any game you throw at it. Battery life is not the best so expect about ~1 hour of gameplay.

ROG Ally is the best handheld I ever used. The screen is so crystal clear and games look amazing on it. You can play all your games on it and this is why I got the Ally over the Steam Deck.

It is a very powerful and fun consle to play on in bed and on the go. The only problom is thr battery life

Great device, runs well, only issue was buying it used. It was already registered under a separate account so I was unable to access all the features of the device. It also has an unexplainable issue where out of nowhere the right analog stick won’t register left and right movement, only up and down. Overall however, it is an excellent gaming handheld.

Good handheld gaming PC. Can run all AAA game at max or near max settings when plugged in. Battery is pretty bad through so i ended up getting a 46000 mah portable battery for the extra juice.

The hardware is sturdy and well made. There are a few quirks that we need to work through but I think it will get better with time since windows in this form factor is new and is bound to have teething problems. Also, games are not going to work out of the box. A good few hours need to go into setting up the system before it is even ready for gaming. The Armory Core Software also needs to be get used too but once you figure it out it gives some nice controller mapping for even classic PC games like Jazz Jackrabbit i got out of GOG.

I love it... So better then steam deck and very fast and so easy to use I recommend to this to anyone... The only bad part but it is never a deal breaker and that is storage but I bought a sd card

Got it open box. Great condition. Only giving it four stars based on the actual software. But you know what you’re getting with a windows device not truly made for mobile gaming. Lots of tinkering when you just wanna plop down and game at the most opportune moments when you don’t have much time. Aside from that you have access to all launchers as well as game pass, big time pluses to not be locked into the Steam store always.
