    I had a wonderful experience at this store! The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Plus, the affordable prices were a delightful surprise! I'm eager to return and discover more of what they provide. It's truly a place I will revisit!

    On my unit, one button has a occasional tendency to stick and the battery life is notably awful unless limiting power. Besides that, an all around upgrade imo over my old Steam Deck.

    The ally has been absolutely fantastic, and aside from windows issues has bed without problems. The internal memory is sufficient for a few AAA games and plenty more. It runs Dying Light 2 with no issues.

    Good device, but mine stopped working after 2 weeks, sent it for service and waiting for repair. But when it was working it has a good performance for a handheld, the design is very nice and ergonomic.

    Machine is amazing but as a few flaws that asus needs to fix. If your not familiar with pc or windows id personally stay away as its not a plug in and play system.

    Runs The Isle well. I use an emulator to play my mobile games as well. This runs everything extremely smoothly. My only complaint is that I have to hold it like a football to type in chat.

    Great possibilities but falling short on quality

    For 14 days i have really enjoyed my ALLY. If you can get past all of the windows updates and overall lack of accessories available this is great. It plays all the games i normally play and plays them well. But ASUS needs to step up on much needed updates to fix some issues. Especially issues with the SD card reader. Day 15 my sd card stopped working and i figured it failed. I installed another SD card, brand new 512g and it saw it for a second and then was gone. Neither of my cards are visible on other machines.... dead as can be. I figured after 14 days of no issues since i had a sd installed on day one that i wouldn't have issues but nope! Killed 2. Took my Ally back to best buy for extended Geek squad warranty and lets just say this is a joke too. I will be without my Ally for 2 to 3 weeks as they will not exchange after 14 days unless you purchase the 179 dollar warranty. So good thing you get3 months of game pass because chances are you will lose a whole month to returning for a replacement. Oh and there is no guarantee the replacement will not be a card killer either. Really disappointed in spending 700 bucks to have it have issues in under a month. By the way ASUS is aware but seem to not really give a hoot at this point as they state they havent had this issue on their test samples. As the internet is lighting up with the sd reader issue i find it hard to swallow they havent had this issue. At this point kind of wish i could return.

      Dear Mercdoc,

      We are sorry to hear about the poor experience you've been having with your ROG Ally. This is definitely not the norm and is not the type of quality to expect from ASUS products. Regarding the SD card issue, we would recommend that you return the ROG Ally directly to ASUS through an RMA after providing the following information:

      1. SD card brand and model
      2. SD card capacity
      3. SD card is first time use?
      4. SD card worked on other devices after failing on the Ally?
      5. Thermal profile usually used > Silent / performance / turbo / manual
      If manual, please provide us with the fan curve.
      6. How much storage capacity has been used on the SD card

      We do stand behind our product and we continuously strive to improve our products and processes in order to achieve customer service excellence. For more information send us an email at customerloyalty@asus.com and provide the case number "N2306018122-0035" for reference. We’ll do our best to provide a quick resolution to your case. Your feedback is important as it helps with improvements to ASUS Support channels. Thank you for choosing ASUS.

    Works like a champ. Bought a docking station and the Ally feels faster than my desktop. On the advice side: Spend the time to learn all the hot keys. Can be a little frustrating if you are just using the touch screen.
