Love this handheld pc
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery could be better, but with the correct tweaking this handheld is a beast, while keeping the thermals great and the battery lasting between 1:30-2:30

Bro. Trust me. It’s a PC
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it. I had it for a few weeks and love it. It’s a PC, so, be prepared to do a lot of tinkering and setting up to get it the way you want. I have a Steam Deck as well, but haven’t touched it since I got this…it’s good!

I would recommend this to a friend ROG Ally Review
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best handheld i have used in a long time. It runs the extreme z1 processor and windows so I can run steam on it and many of my games on it as well. It has a 500 gig drive but you can always up grade it. Its super customizable and easy to set up. Thank you for reading my review

Powerful but expensive
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Powerful little gaming device but pricey. For the price you could just go with a PlayStation but if you want portable this is great.

A great product for on the go gaming
|Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.[Employee of bestbuy] So far no issues.

It's Okay
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device basically works. The pro of having windows is also the main issue with it. A lot of the issues i have are due to the fact that I don't want to tinker with the device in order to get my games running well. I also don't like touching the screen, which is absolutely necessary unless you have a keyboard and mouse connected. I suppose I was looking for an experience similar to the Steam Deck. The Ally isn't near as user friendly, and for a device that runs windows, it's really cumbersome to operate with joysticks and buttons. My biggest complaint though is the VRR. For a device that has a 120hz screen and VRR, the implementation is awful. Your games will stutter if the framerate drops below 90fps even with VRR enabled. It's really unfortunate, and I haven't heard anyone else address this issue, but it's there. I really hope ASUS continues to update the device, because it does have potential. It just feels unfinished right now. Couple that with the difficulty of using windows with a touchscreen and controller, and it's not a pleasant experience. However, if you don't mind fiddling with it, you'll probably love it. It is powerful, and not constrained by Steam OS, so a fair amount of games I've wanted to play on the Deck but couldn't, are fully playable on the Ally. If they would fix the VRR if possible, that would be great. That and the framerate limiter which at the time of this review still doesn't work properly.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome. My sd cards work. Pretty much a windows machine with controller. Ssd can be upgraded and some people have had problems with their sd cards so beware and do more research to see if it works for you
