Asus rog ally z1 processor
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great hand held system for sure. Plays destiny 2 no problem and Fortnite. Just don’t let anything happen to the charger due to not being able to find a new one for it. Would recommend the better processor not sure how the base model will due.

Awesome Package
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a rival to the Steam deck and handily beats the current version. 1080p 120hz display is incredible looking and the only game I've come across thus far that scales it back to 30fps is BG3. If you're looking for a top tier handheld mobile PC look no further.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product, Sometimes i just get bored of my PC and this is amazing for on the go.

Rog Ally
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great handheld, though it does have it's flaws. The biggest is its battery, if you play on Turbo with max settings, it'll drain fairly quickly. Luckily you can tweak your settings to get the most out of this device.

Not worth-it for multiplayer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a cool concept but the battery drains within an hour, the download speeds are terrible, it doesn’t work with every game. The games I can play with it are nice but don’t buy it for multiplayer games like I thought I could. Single player games are key.

Perfect Size for Travel
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There have been minimal hiccups with the the OS forgetting my PIN to log in, but it hasn't been a major deal breaker. It's very capable for a handheld device, and can stand up to my old custom built PC.

This Device is Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Device runs amazing. There is some tweaking that is needed to make sure the VRAM is allocated right along with updates, but once you’ve tweaked it, it is amazing. Been using now for three weeks and would not sell the device. Recommend for those who are traveling a lot as well.

Plays everything I’ve thrown at it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Plays Xbox game pass / steam / epic / battle.net and emulators. Not for the faint of heart when it comes to setup though. Requires a lot of tinkering and the battery could be better. I still use my computer and laptop for serious first person shooter games but I’m loving the Ally.

Great, but with those caveats
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great device despite its very obvious flaws with the SD card that ASUS refuses to fix. Just make a new revision! If you are ok with that issue, then this is one of the best portable devices on the market.
