Lots of potential but unfinished clearly
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Deadzone issues, Trigger issues, BIOS perf degradations, SD card reader issues and the list goes on and on. The screen is very good and performance is there, but poor QC and unfinished release makes it not worth it.

Game changer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First I’d like to point out that this is a windows gaming PC. Its not a console. So if thats the experience youre expecting youre in the wrong place. That said, its quickly become my facorite gaming device and had replaced my steam deck, switch, xbox, and desktop gaming PC. Being able to play all of my favorite games mobile is a dream come true. Ive had no problems witj it from day one. Kudos to ASUS for this masterpiece.

Rog all z1
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is perfect for someone who wants to get into pc gamming and is used to a controller for gameplay great price for a low in pc that can play AAA games when pluged in. Although if you do want to play it on a bigger screen you would need to buy other cords and parts. Thats the only down fall to me.

If u want a better switch this is what you need.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my experience with the ROG Ally, it has made a favorable impact. While acknowledging the potential for battery improvement, its versatility as a handheld is commendable, adeptly handling indie and AAA games. For those still uncertain, watching a few videos could provide clarity. However, I wholeheartedly recommend it for gamers seeking a straightforward yet powerful handheld option.

Great handheld pc
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great addition to my consoles. I play my switch all the time but am disappointed by the limited library, I also have a ROG Zephyrus but dont have the accessibility to play it all the time. The Ally is a best of both worlds. With the updated ASUS has sent out it runs great. I have no problems playing Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, and Cyber Punk 2077. Plus its modable

Buy a Steam Deck
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Windows 11 really isn't made for a handheld device. I've been a PC gamer most of my life so I'm somewhat familiar with Window's quirks, but I with a handheld device youbgenerally want to get up and go, not fiddle with settings half the time. Is it more powerful? Sure. But that comes at a signifcant cost to battery life. What is the point of having a handheld device that you need to be tethered to a charger to use? At 15 watts the newer OLED Steam Deck is significantly more stable and has greater performance than the Ally at 15 watts. The Ally doesn't become more powerful until it hits it's 25 to 30 watt turbo mode. Just get the Steam Deck

Decent little gaming machine
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great performance. Battery life is decent for what it is as long as you understand this is not meant to play top titles in turbo mode for hours. Biggest complaint is build quality. Some of the buttons felt fairly cheap for a device that costs $500+.

Great for on the go!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Product is amazing, way better than advertised. Only reason for 4 stars is because its lacking in certain areas! Wish memory was bigger. Needs lots of updates right off the rip. But for the price its worth it. Prefect for a beginner handheld. Would definitely recommend for anyone.

Not ready for primetime
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like this device and for the most part it is a very cool and high-tech device. The cons however outweight the pros, chief among them Windows 11. Systems like this do not play well with Windows 11 and should have a custom version of Windows running to make it more intuitive for touch interfaces. Running full-blown Windows 11 is limiting to the user experience. For running games specifically, I test ran Forza Horizon 5 and was disappointed by the loading times even though it was reading from the SSD directly. The game also recommended running on low settings to optimize the PC which was disappointing. As other reviewers have also noted, battery life is very short. I was also disappointed that I could not play all the Xbox games in my library and only had access to the PC games in Game Pass. Maybe the device will improve in future iterations and I really wanted to keep it, but unfortunately will be having to return it.

Posted .Dear ManUtdIL,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and I certainly understand your frustration. Please make sure you've completed any pending updates that are on Armoury Crate. To maximize your Ally's performance make sure to set it to Turbo mode. In regards to the Xbox game library, this is a limitation that is placed by Microsoft and applies to any device that's not an Xbox. You would need to make sure you've purchased an Xbox game that is listed as an "Xbox Play Anywhere" game. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me at cl-adrian@asus.com, and I will help you to the best of my abilities. I am here to assist our customers with our products and dedicated in bringing a resolution to all issues that they may come across. Please copy a link to this post as a reference.
Thank you for choosing ASUS!

Great but SD card reader broken
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE my ROG Ally!! It is a beast of a machine packed into a little frame. Only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the SD card slot on this thing does NOT work. It slows down the entire machine when you slot an SD card into it. As long as you’re cool just running off of system storage, you’ll love this thing.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought to take for summer vacation and being able to play my games in bed. Its been a game changer for me! Asus has been keeping up with updates all across the board as they should. feels great in the hands the screen looks amazing fans not to loud im playing all my games on the fly. Armory crate also helps with setting up games. this is not a Gaming desktop replacement for me but its excellent to have on the side.
