Get this. Set up is initially cumbersome because its basically a pc but once you get passed that, it out perfones in every way except battery life.

Great system, but expensive. I would expect it to come with at least a tb storage and better battery life. However, the system is still a great purchase.

Plays any game i want and yeah the battery life is not amazing but you dont need to play games more than a few hours at a time

Works as advertised. Is a very strong little machine. Wish the battery last longer but it is understandable for the amount of power this device can handle.

Good handheld for light games. Needs a lot of tweaking if you want to run demanding games and end up having to use lower graphics settings. Battery isnt all that great but it is a gaming computer in the size of a handheld. Ended up returning after seeing so many SD card port problems. My unit wasnt affected but it was only a matter of time.

It's lightweight, and it gets the job done! I love being able to play my Steam games on the go or from my bed.

Something about playing video games on a dedicated gaming device just makes it more fun for me. I already have tons of steam games and this can run all but the most poorly optimized (struggles with a basic RTS called Northgard that it should be able to run haha). I just beat Elden Ring on this thing. It's great! Just be sure to buy a bigger SSD, you can even get an adapter to allow fun size NVME SSDs which are way cheaper.

I do like the device I have no complaints other than the battery life but that's why they have battery packs

The Z1 Extreme is more compact and can play more games than Steam Deck. This is my most used handheld pc so far

Great handheld that I use for Xbox game pass and steam games. Nice having a Windows PC if needed handy also!

Great system so far with and without its flaws been about a month and couple weeks and can say it’s great system for the money … not saying that it’s better in optimization then steam deck because steam deck is still a easier and better experience when playing games. ROG ally is better performance the steam deck but still needs couple updates to make system run great and as flawless as steam deck … I would definitely pick one up if you haven’t yet …

Excellent device for portable gaming and an absolute emulation power house I was amazed with how well it ran games straight out of the box (Starfield, Hitman3, Hogwarts etc..) but after some fine tuning and tweaking with a 1600x900 res mod this thing can run almost anything with the right settings mind you this isn't as easy of a setup experience as the steamdeck but it's well worth it especially since it outperforms it by leaps and bounds. I highly recommend investing in larger internal storage down the line since 512gb will go by in a flash.

I only got this tonplay sims on the go and it did not disappoint.

Bought a asus ally z1 extreme. Coming from steam deck it blows the gpu power and screen quality! But i find windows 11 not that easy to use from controls and instaling games. :( the sad part is the battery it only lasted 50mins on forza horizon 5 or 2 fortnite battle and 18% left from 95% If your a techy type of guy this one is for you. Kudos to bestbuy for having awesome customer service!

Incredible display, speakers, and very good performance. That's all great, but Asus decided against proper QC and now I'm one of many with a dead/malfunctioning SD card reader. Their communication with this has been relatively poor and I simply cannot recommend it until this is properly addressed.

The ROG Ally is an excellent on the go PC that is similar to the steam deck. the interface and controller setting does take some getting used to and its unique interface and setting system armory is a helpful tool to adapt the controller to any game. As somebody who is generally skeptical on new handhelds, this is a positive experience and smoothly plays a variety of games in a quality performance. This is an excellent PC to help you work on going through your backlog of games on the go.

When you're an esports player who goes out a lot, this is for you. But the battery life is not satisfactory. Performance can meet almost all games (60fps)

Great product overall from qaulity, feel, value, and performance. The first cons is the battery life is limited on most titles. Probably an hour max on higher end titles. Low resource games you can play for a long time. The second con is the user expierance is definitely for someone more technically inclined. Not as simple as a plug and play console but if you are looking at this device you probably are a more technically inclined person.

This is my first handheld PC gaming experience and it has been a really solid one. I have been lucky and not had a single issue, but i am also worried that there might not be consistent support for the device. If you dont have the Steam deck, i would definitely pick-up the Ally as it feels cutting edge. If you want something reliable for now though, I would jump towards the steam deck. I want this to succeed, so hopefully we continue to get support!

Has to the the best handheld I've used. Haven't had one issue. Only wish the battery lasted long but that's what ya get for it being small.
