Great system

Excellent portable gaming pc
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great little device. So far I've been having a good time playing my games on it. It wasn't difficult to get started either. After going through the windows setup and logging into steam I was downloading games right away.

Best handheld available.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really a nice handheld. The performance is not 8.6tflops, but it does play some games at 50-60fps including diablo 4 on lower settings. If you know how to use a computer the experience is flawless. It is not as simple as a steam deck.

Good concept, bad execution
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am truly disappointed as I wanted to love this, playing any AAA title for more than 15 minutes will make the console uncomfortably hot to the touch. At best, you can run games on medium settings. I’m an avid PC gamer that is used to playing on screens at 120fps or higher. While the screen is 120fps capable, no game will ever reach that and if it did it would probably explode in your hands at a million degrees. I gave it a week and returned it. I wouldn’t even want to guess how poor the experience would be on the lower end, non extreme version. Asus releasing this feels like a mistake, and will most likely be subject to recall after it eventually scolds someone’s hands. I had updated to latest firmwares etc too.

Posted .Dear Raymond,
I do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused.
It is normal that excessive heat is generated while under heavy load especially during gaming. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal. While gaming, please ensure no resource hungry applications are running in the background, this will definitely spike the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down. Please verify the device is running with the most current drivers and BIOS besides Windows update. Keeping the device updated will maintain optimum system performance and will reduce excessive heat generation. Drivers and BIOS are posted at: https://rog.asus.com/ph/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-ally-2023/helpdesk_download/.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
