    Worked great for about a month but then I started running into issues. My SD card reader died. Wouldn't detect any cards I tried. Exchanged it at BB and hoped that was just a one time thing. My second one had issues with the fingerprint reader and would blue screen. I wiped the OS and started from scratch and things worked better. Unfortunately, the SD card reader died on my second Ally. BB offered to exchange it but I decided to return it instead. It's a pretty good attempt for a rev 1 product but it has flaws. I also don't like that the eGPU option they provide uses a proprietary connection. I ended up getting another windows handheld with an oculink port and used a GPU I had from a previous build. I hope Asus stick with the product and release another one in a year or so with non-proprietary connections and more RAM (16 is not enough, my new handheld has 64).

    Game changer for handhelds for sure….yes it’s got windows 11 but haven’t found many issues (uninstall OneDrive immediately!) I love having all games/launchers in one place. The Ally is powerful had to get used to the ergonomics compared to the Deck but now that I have I’m having a blast with it. If you don’t wanna spend 1000+ for a powerful windows handheld that’s still very impressive just get the Ally.

    It all depends what your intent of use for this product is if you are trying to use this as a full out gaming desktop performance and quality you will be disappointed. But if you are using it to do some casual gaming while away from home or on a road trip or something like that you will be very satisfied with this product. I bought mune first day because i have a feelint these will be hard to come by soon

    I didn’t have high expectations for this unit at all. I am used to using an Alienware m17. Since I use a cross between steam and Xbox ecosystems this was a good portable option to utilize the subscriptions and purchase I already utilize. I played with it for about a week left it on the charger downloading mw3 by the time I got back I got a no boot error. ( I was using a SD card as well). I was not happy. Thankfully I am a stickler for the latest updates. The bios upgrade included cloud restore. I was able to still see the drive so I wiped the system logged on the cloud restore which if you ever had to wipe a system before is a pain this made it very easy. No usb boot drive needed. Since then no issue works like a dream. The customization options are good and getting better with each update. I have been using it more and more over the Xbox and the m17.

    This thing is Awesome best thing to pair with Xbox game pass.. u can cloud game or install.. i paired it with a docking system that allowed Turbo mode.. also u can use a program to play PS5 remote play but you have to do a few things to get it to work but ots flawless.. this is best way to go for gaming

    Xbox gamer here. This thing is absolutely amazing. It’ll play everything. I wanted something to bridge the gap of non Xbox game but with the pick-up and play convenience of an Xbox. This is it. Takes awhile to set up. Took me 2 weeks to get all the emulation how I wanted it. But PC games, those take maybe 5 minutes of messing with graphical setting to get it to run the way you want. I love this thing.

    I've so far just played Baldur's Gate 3 on it, and the hardware is amazing. I don't love the Windows controls using the controller, the buttons and functions don't intuitively map to mouse clicks, but it doesn't prevent actual gaming from being awesome on a handheld. Plays BG3 at ultra settings just fine and looks great.

    The ASUS ROG Ally is a great buy, beautiful screen, responsive and snappy touchscreen. The buttons function well (though they are a touch sensitive for my taste) and i do recommend it as a viable alternative for the steam deck. I prefer it to the steam deck though the ergonomics could be better as there isnt enough of a curve on thr grips on this system to hold onto in my opinion.

    This is an excellent OEM Windows handheld computer. This isn't like a Switch that you can just turn on and get playing right away. Thinking of it more like a portable gaming computer would be better, since it requires all of the Windows stuff (to include a ton of updates on 1st use through 3 different updaters). Otherwise, it runs great, playing any PC game I want on the go or on the couch.
