If you can live with compromises, great
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So much potential. But the storage is tiny, navigating windows on an 8 inch screen is miserable, and the thing gets very hot. Wanted to love it but it’s not quite fully realized. I wasn’t willing to deal with the headaches.

Excellent
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.good windows machine, performs as expected. Mobile access to ffxiv is always good, and helps clear the PC backlog I’ve amassed. ffxiv works good on 15w and thats the most AAA game I’ve got for pc so I dont have many battery problems. Still lets me access my art tools too with mouse and keyboard / dock compatability.

Portable gaming at your finger tips
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ASUS ROG Ally is a complete package with Win OS. Pros include ability to use multiple gaming services; form factor is comfortable to hold; and keeps up with high frame rate. Cons include gets hot near SD card insert; new BIOS update has slowed down performance. Overall, a great portable gaming machine.

GREAT BUT WAIT TILL ASUS ROG ALLY X
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best hand held gaming system! Absolutely love this for gaming. I have both an Xbox and PS5 but since I got this I stopped playing those. BUT the new Asus ROG ALLY X is coming out in JULY 2024 so if you are reading this please take that in consideration. The new one has way better specs.

Great little device
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a handheld computer. It really carries a lot of form from the steam deck but it has windows for better or for worse. I've been playing everything from persona 5 through game pass to halo reach, destiny 2 and even a bit of civilization. Battery life is awesome and the turbo mode makes all games run smoothly. Seriously get this if you're mobile and can't alway pill out the entire laptop.

A lot of Power in a little console!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took me 5 months to commit to buying this thing. I have zero regrets after buying. Sucks it has to be plugged in most of the time when playing higher quality games, but serves its purpose just right otherwise. Gets a little heavy on the wrists after extended use.

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it serves my purposes well. Like having a handled laptop. Only issue is battery life but gaming laptops batteries are most as bad. The Ally has multiple different battery saving options. I would recommend it over any the steam deck, msi, or the Lenovo version.

Due bestbuy return policies, ROG suffered defeat.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really like the ASUS ROG ALLY but ( big but) I was not able to completely use it and see how really behaves. I work 40 hrs per week and gaming is one of my hobbies, I have the Steam Deck and has been very good and I was very interested on the ALLY to see the differences between the two handhelds. The easy interface and easy to use trophy goes to the Steam Deck but the versatility of the ALLY makes it very tempting. However, I was able just to play a couple of games on the ALLY and due work and family the TWO WEEKS that Best Buy gives you to return items made my choice clear: not enough time to spend with the ALLY made me weary of its use and rather stick with the SD. However, if you don't have the SD, just pick the ally, is very good. I am afraid that the return policies that BB has ( if you are not taking the paywall to return items in 30 days) is going to put pressure on the buyers to get an item that unfortunately needs more than 14 days to make a decision. Sucks for ROG because I really like their products and the laptop that I am still using is a ROG.

Match made in gamer heaven
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked one up back in September of last year. Sold my PS5 to get it. Honestly I love it. It’s more powerful than the steamdeck, but remember you have to adjust some game settings to get the best performance. I played starfield on it without an issue. Spent 10 hrs playing starfield on PC but 30-40hrs playing it on this

Rog Alley, Get you one!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my Rog Alley. Unfortunately it needed a repair from a bad motherboard and software update but since I got it back it works like a champ! It syncs to my surface book 2 which is a plus for pictures music etc, Xbox for cloud games and downloads. Lightweight and easier to handle than some of the other handhelds I tried. Great purchase for me!!

It’s mobile game
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has some corks but overall works great for a mobile gaming experience. Don’t expect a desktop experience but works great as a mid tier console and since the screen is smaller you can run games at a lower setting without noticing a huge drop off in quality.

Starfield ROG Ally
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have both an ROG Ally and a Steam Deck. I’ve noticed ROG has better visuals for the most part. I play Starfield with no issue. I haven’t found an easier way to download updates - I had to visit ASUS website to take full advantage of the device versus Steam Deck which is more streamlined.

ROG ally
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid device that can “easily” handle most titles with ease. Xbox game pass works solid and all platforms seem to run smoothly as long and OS is updated accordingly. Had since release and never had to return or an hiccups so far.
