Amazing!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The rog ally is a fantastic piece of tec. A gaming handheld pc with amazing specs. If you enjoy handheld gaming or want to get into it then I recommend this! But i do recommend saving up for a 2tb ssd card for the ally if you want more space. With games bing over 70+gigs you'll run out of space.

Used - excellent = great value!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used - excellent... runs great with no issues. The Best Buy warranty is solid if needed. Picked up a 2TB SSD from Crucial for $64 on Resale too. Great combo. Runs Space Marine 2 and MW3 without issue.

Wait for the X or get it for cheaper
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared against the windows based handhelds this would be the best one. Now that the Ally X is releasing in July. If you can get this on sale or used for cheaper I would go with the X.

ROG Ally is the best Windows Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best windows handheld in the market right now. I love being ab le to run all my windows based installers like GOG and Battle.net to play almost everything I play on my desktop. Gamepass streaming gaming on this unit is incredible as well.

Perfect little console
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's perfect for what it does. It's not meant to play your games at 4k with 144 fps. It's more for the casual gamer on the go. Or someone who likes there demanding game on the go at slightly less fidelity than what they get in their 4090 tower. It runs every game I've thrown at it at acceptable rates.

Great hardware, terrible OS.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hardware is awesome. There is an Ally X but i find the hardware pretty good. The biggest negative is Windows 11. ASUS's app is great at trying to hide the underlying OS but it is hampered by how messy gaming is implemented by game providers under Windows. Terrible for a portable console as the experience is far from seemless. I have seen people convert this to a SteamOS Linux machine and have been happy. I may try that.

Review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a powerful gaming device that is easy to upgrade. It plays most games at good frame rate and is a good device for people who want to play PC games but don’t like keyboard and mouse. It is comfortable and good for playing on the go.

Awesome little machine!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Now that I have a kid and no longer have full access to the TV to play games, this is a godsend. Best purchase I’ve made in a while. Plays BG3 perfectly. I wish it had slightly better battery life, but that’s a minor complaint considering it plays BG3 smoothly in unplugged 15 watts mode.

Awesome Device!! Except the sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to be able to play anytime and anywhere. My health will sometimes leave me bedridden or unable to be at my desk to play the games i enjoy. Or to even play games freely with adult scenes without my children seeing them lol. I absolutely love this thing!! Except for the sound. The sound, especially with playing Baldurs Gate 3, is crackling alot and its very distorting or it will go in and out. And when i dock it ... its a hit or miss whether the sound is transferred to the TV or not through hdmi. Im still fiddling with and learning about it since i just bought so i will update if i figure out how to resolve the sound issue.

Like any laptop. Run updates first and you’re good
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked mine up on launch day, ran updates before doing anything else with it and no issues. This thing has saved my marriage. I can now play games on the couch while my wife works on her laptop and we have trash tv running. Dont ask me why we need to see love island or below deck on the 65” tv vs an ipad. It’s her world I’m just living in it.

I love all the new handhelds coming out.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very much for PC gamers or people willing to learn how to PC game. If you are looking for a Nintendo switch or console type experience where it is plug n play for a game then look elsewhere. The fact it can need used as a full Windows 11 PC is amazing with great specs. Love these new handhelds that are coming out.

Plays everything
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This plays everything! I can play anything in my Steam, Epic, or GOG library. I also installed xbox game pass on it and can play a lot of those games natively on the Ally. Other than the micro SD card issues this frvicr has, its been absolutely amazing.

So much better than the Steam Deck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The ROG Ally is an awesome device that can play literally everything. The biggest advantage it has over the Steam Deck is that it runs Windows and isn’t limited by its software. Yes, you can put Windows on the Steam Deck with some tinkering, but it functions much better on the ROG Ally. Now, there is a steeper learning curve with this device and it isn’t as user friendly as the Steam Deck, but don’t let that scare you away, there are tons of tutorials on YouTube where people walk you through how to set the best settings for each game. Also, I highly recommend using a manual profile with a more aggressive fan curve rather than the stock Turbo mode. The stock Turbo mode at 30w doesn’t efficiently cool the device with its fan curve and can cause the device to overheat. Once you tinker with the fan curve and lock all clocks for the device at 30w, you won’t have any issues.
