    Powerful portable windows gaming goodness! While I have had the usual difficulties of a first gen product, specifically with the joystick, and I am aware of the potential of SD Card overheating in turbo mode, ASUS is so ng right by me and fixing the issues. Additionally an external dock with SD card reader solves the overheat issue with the cards.

    Might not be ideal to a lot of people but I use with Bluetooth mouse, keyboard and HDMI dock. The iGPU is good enough for me and I can use it as a handheld for steam and xbox/game pass. I use playstation remote play too.

    The Ally is a powerful handheld for pc gaming. Easy to use, fun and convenient. Only downside is out of the box it wouldn’t play half of my games before having to google and look up for a couple of hours how to fix.

    I was on the fence about getting a handheld gaming PC for a while. Finally jumped on this when i saw it was on sale. It plays everything i throw at it. Of course, you have the adjust the graphics settings. However, due to the small screen size, games look excellent on medium/low settings. Highly recommend.

    I’ve been really impressed with the ROG handheld. I’ve owned it since launch and at first it was a little rough, but after a few patches the system is really stable! I’ve basically turned the ROG into a docked emulator computer. Works great! Plays everything from NES to Switch. I play this more than my Steam Deck!

    ASUS has its up and downs with this device just for the bios alone for fine tuning it and making sure the bios doesnt decrease FPS, so in the long run it would be great for games like modern warfare 2 and below for graphics and def works great for minecraft

    Best handheld gaming experience in my opinion. Leagues better than the Switch and more capable than the Steam Deck. Great for almost all games from Triple A to indy games. My only complaints are that the control sticks grind against the casing and that the A, B, X, Y face buttons feel loose and spongey.

    Great for portable gaming. Main issue i have with it is both shoulder buttons can not activate at the same time. Not a deal breaker but is an inconvenience. Nice to be able to browse the internet unlike Steam Deck, but also lacking in other aspects.

    I love everything about the Ally. I have a gsming PC, nintendo switch and a ps5 but for some reason i keep going back to my Ally to play gsmes. My love for gaming has died down but i found love in it again with the Ally.

    Asus ROG Ally is a great held held Windows PC with a few flaws but no one is perfect. I have the Steam Deck as well and I put it down when I picked up the ally. If you're on the fence just goto your local Best buy and check out the floor demo. Then you'll be sold like me!

    Its nice but for the price point a little disappointed. Gets really hot and lags on some things. Anytime i want to use an external controller i always have to unpair then repair even if its connected. Graphics are good but embedded controller isnt reall fine tunable.
