About what you’d expect
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s about what you’d expect from a very small computer. Only thing that truly makes me wish for is the battery life otherwise it’s fine for small games while you travel.

Get this and a Mouse and folding keyboard...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before anything,, If you OWN AN ALLY!,,, for 4$ there is a right angled M.2 Adapter online that lets you put in a full 2280. Every other cheap PC handheld doesn't do that. in Theory if you could afford a 8TB drive, it could be done.. The screen size on the Go is tempting, This is lighter and still gets heavy in certain positions. I really Really HATE That ASUS needs to know who I am for a Graphics Driver...AMD releases Z1 Extreme drivers through the builder not directly.... And Windows.....almost want to hack it. Whatever happened to devices working and not holding themselves hostage without having my info? Shame on ASUS, Shame on Microsoft. the UI " works" but Big Picture is better. It runs Starfield better than I figured it would. The touch Keyboard is just not good! I wish you had the option to make it a 98% style for more functionality, or put a big move button so I can read what I'm typing. It's a great Device with mostly bloatware/software gags. Also final Gripe! Hall effect say What?

love this handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the asus rog ally. I can play cod warzone 2 in handheld mode now. Setting the system up was frustrating, and people have issue with the hardware (check the rogally reddit).My exeperience as a warzone player has been blissful though.

Nice to be a PC gamer now
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It runs really well and is fast, the graphics are pretty good as well. The one thing I’m not a huge fan of is the battery life. It lasts somewhere between 1-2 hours. So not the best if you wanna take it on a long trip without somewhere to plug it in. But still pretty good. I love it.

Best handheld console for the money.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely worth the purchase. Better resolution, refresh rate, wider game compatibility. Expect about a couple of hours to update and get everything set up the way you like it. I've tested this with the XG mobile with a 3080 (overkill, I know). This machine is versatile and can work as a desktop replacement. With ASUS constantly working on updates and bug fixes expect this to be your travel gaming system for a long time.

Will Get Better In Time
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Been waiting for this device for sometime after using the SteamDeck for roughly a year and a bit disappointed. Design: 4/5; its a beautiful device and love the button placement on the front, however, the buttons on the back are a bit awkward and can be accidentally hit. Ergonomics: 2/5; This is where the disappointment begins, I saw that ROG went through multiple different molds to find the best one and the grips on this device do not stick out enough to make it comfortable. Don't get me wrong, its light in the hands but holding for long periods of time just does not feel comfortable Software: a few issues that degraded performance after bios updates but it will be fixed overtime so I'm not going to rate this portion BUT there are some issues. Overall, its a step in the right direction but not the flawless execution that many waited around for and was expecting. This would be a 5/5 if the grips were done correct.

Highly recommended
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love this console. Runs my games flawlessly! Comfortable in my hands too! I have always been a gamer and now I have something to play on when I can't be on my desktop. I did change out the hard drive for a bigger one before I loaded any games because I knew I would want more storage. Was super easy to do!

Legion Go
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a handheld collector, the Legion Go so far is my favorite one. The only reason I’m giving it a 4 star is because of the sd card problems (mine hasn’t had it yet). My solution to that was buy an adaptor and plug in a 2tb card (I could have gone to 4tb but that would be a little overkill).

Ally against SD and legion go
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was debating between the ally, sd OLED and legion go. The ally won out against the sd due to having better performance and windows which means I'm not limited to just steam as I have games from other platforms. Ally also won against the legion go as the legion is an ergonomic nightmare for me, it's just not comfortable. I love the ally and I'm happy with my purchase.

I would give it 5 stars but the WiFi continues to disconnect and it took me hours to find out a solution.

Amazing Handheld Gaming PC
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stoked for my Ally. Works great without issues so far. Once you get use to running games through the Asus User Interface games run better as it allows for more options. I purchased with the intent of no longer needing to pack a gaming laptop on trips and so far it hasnt let me down. Specially when coupled with a USB-C dock to add a mouse and keyboard. Turns it from a handheld gaming PC to a true PC

Ally review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The performance of the ally was top notch. It feels well build, the controls are good, and the screen is great. My problem is that is needs a UI. Windows on a tiby screen is annoying. I ended up returning it for that reason.
