Great Device, Terrible customer service.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROG Ally is a great little device. Whats keeping this a 5 star product is the hardware issues. Asus poorly designed this device. It fries SD cards, with mine i had to RMA after two months because the left thumb stick only inputs up and does (known defect). The process to get this swapped out is terrible. If your device defects past the 14 day return window, bestbuy will not help you even though they have a deal with ASUS to handle RMAs. Best Buy will only send it to Geek Squad and you wont see your device for 15 days. Geek Squad was rude and was angry that I followed ASUS instructions to wipe my device before sending to them. They asked "how are we to test it if you wiped your device?". Just beware the head ache of your device defects.

Still a great device, but made me waste $70
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well for the first few weeks I had none of the issues people are speaking about (stick dead zones, bricking, updates breaking random things. I launched a game earlier(medieval dynasty) and played for about 90 seconds before the whole thing froze. I had to do a hard reset. Once it booted back up, Windows as a whole was acting wonky. Everything was loading extra slow. Touch screen wouldn't work. Explorer (Windows folder system) would not launch for anything. Finally got the touch working again. Still issues with the rest of windows. I updated everything and still nothing. Tried to restart and it sat at the restart screen for a good 5 minutes. I finally got curious and took the SD card out. It immediately restarted and Windows ran perfectly. Reinserted the SD card, and the problems started again. Come to find out after trying it on several computers in my house, the Sd card is fried. All this the morning after an update that was suppose to increase the fan speed to reduce the temps and prevent this. Outside of this, the device has been great. All I can say is don't use an SD card with this. Spend the extra money of you want more storage, get a proper m.2 ssd that's higher capacity, clone the drive and put it in the device.

Great handheld "laptop"
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this thing. There was nothing more cool than playing PC games on the go. The best part is the Windows emulation. It feels like a mini-laptop with you on the go. I returned it ultimately because it just did not feel comfortable it my small hands :(

Great handheld console for casual gamers
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm very happy with my Ally. It handles all my games perfectly, runs smoothly, and looks beautiful with the lighting effects. I did upgrade the SSD for more storage, and I followed an Asus tutorial to do that and it was super easy. I highly recommend it to gamers who enjoy handheld consoles like the Switch, but want to play a wider variety of games with mods and custom content. It's awesome, I highly recommend!

Life Changer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Despite having a steam deck, it doesnt do everything I need in one device. I knew the Legion Go was coming out and it was another option I weighed in mine. However I saw this open box for a great price, I have relatively small hands and from what people says the Go makes even big men’s hands feel small, and I had good experience with Asus. Upgrading the internals was much easier than even the Deck. Honestly was worth it and really happy with it.

1 Month with the device and looking good!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a very comfortable and responsive device. Sometimes in turbo mode it gest a little noisy but the gaming experience is very fun! I had consoles before but I prefer this device because of it's portability and the cross-platform games you can access from a PC. I think there are some improvement opportunities when connecting external controllers and screens, it gets tricky sometimes and you may lose some time with the configuration settings. I strongly recommend to buy a docking so you can connect HDMI ports and USB devices.

A great system after a rough launch
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this since day 1, and if I reviewed it after the first 2 weeks, I'd give it a D. Today, I'd give it an A. It's really impressive how much better this has gotten since launch. Also, having just used the Legion Go, and then going back to this, it's impressive how good this feels and how much better it works. Really only thing I wish was that this had a 16:10 screen and that it was larger. Obviously I'd love an OLED as well, but really this screen is very very good for an LCD.

I'd definitely purchase again in the future. It runs a bit hot, but to be expected for first gen. Honestly it's worth the money.
