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!

It is great handheld device and value for money. Only issue is short battery life and one usb-c port.

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

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!

Overall, it's a great device, but it can be a bit uncomfortable to hold since it tends to heat up.

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

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

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Armoury crate seems to work very well, would take some of the critic reviews with a pinch of salt since they are mostly outdated with the number of updates that Asus have been delivering.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

Great device but certain features like microSD card port does not work

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

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!

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.

You must change your in-game settings to fullscreen and 720p. Then, make sure you push the little physical button on the right to bring up the overlay menu and make sure RSR is enabled. Your game will run at the at 720p upscaled to 1080p and you will get significantly better FPS since the gpu is only actually rendering 720p. This is how you get better FPS. Using this method, I was playing Tom Clancy's The Division 2 on "High" settings and getting 60+ FPS consistently. I did notice a few dips on the FPS when I was in-game in an outdoor environment and it was raining for example but it was barely noticeable since the screen has VRR.

I have been using it on steam and xbox with no issues with gameplay and feels good but put in mind that its a handheld so it wont run on the highest settings and playing AAA games will make the battery die faster but wont take long to recharge it. My only issue is when i got it, it was dead and while on charger and starting it up the keyboard wouldnt work till i restarted it again and it overheated while on charger the first time but was good after so idk if it was just me or device issue. only had it for 2 days with no other issue and have been using it nonstop but im not someone who has other devices like steamdeck to compare it too.

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!

I have the Asus ROG ally and the steam deck. I love both because there's room for both of them if your are a gamer in my opinion. The things that separates the ROG Ally are the 120hz resolution and windows capabilities of playing all PC games. I didn't give 5 stars due having issues with my 1tb micro SD card after a few days, the issue unfortunately does exist. I did install a 2tb SSD card to over come the previous complaint. Overall The Asus ROG Ally is a great quality portable gaming PC.

Love it. Up to now I play anything I’ve been wanting to play. Which the battery life was longer.

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.

I only play a few PC games. I hate desktops and i didnt want to buy a new laptop for gaming. I decided to give the ROG a chance. It has played every game i like perfectly. Having my games portable was a great option.
