Perfect budget "build" or secondary system.

||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Asus Ally has become my go-to device ever since I transitioned from my gaming desktop to the Steam Deck for gaming. I absolutely adore it! The handheld gaming experience provided by the Ally and Steam Deck fulfills the inner child in me. There's something irresistible about the freedom to play games anywhere, anytime—it's simply top-notch. While I still keep my desktop for more demanding titles like Star Citizen, most of the time, you'll find me immersed in gaming on the Ally.

ROG ALLY
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solid product, produces as advertised, true handheld experience. Get a good maker power back and you can play for hours without plugging in
I would recommend this to a friend Best of its kind
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, I was talked into buying this over a Nintendo switch OLED by my Manager at my job. I have never been more impressed by a gaming console! The processor is strong enough to run heavy games at high frame rate as smooth as a freshly shaved head. I fell in love with it as soon as it lit up in my hands. I’ve seen the competitors and this is by far the best of its kind to date. Highly recommend especially when you pair it with a dock to connect it up to your monitor or tv.

Personal 4 star But a 3 till better support arrive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off i love this device. But in honesty it is half baked and the prior promises from Asus were not all true. But it is still the best windows based handle attempt from a mainstream company. Its existence will usher better devices in the future. It is powerful for what it is and has a great pricepoont compared to other devices of its kind.

Good handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice handheld but screen too small would prefer something with a bigger screen.

Best on the go system
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best on the go system. Doesnt even compare to steam deck and certainly not a switch. More convenient than a gaming laptop
I would recommend this to a friend Very happy as an upgrade to the steam deck
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with my Ally thus far. I have not had any issues with my initial unit, and it is a solid evolution across the board from the Steam Deck (which is also a great piece of hardware). For better or worse, it is a Windows device - that means it is capable of running every game a modern PC can, but also sometimes requires some extra configuration or troubleshooting. For example, keeping yhe device updated requires managing windows updates, MyAsus updates, and armory crate updates separately. I sold my Deck and do not regret it.
