Not what I expected.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked pretty ok for a few days. Occasional freezes and crashes but nothing out of the ordinary for Windows. Frame rates were much better than on my steam deck and the screen is much better. However, today, after downloading battle net and Diablo 4 I can’t use the handheld for more than 5-10 minutes without it freezing and requiring a hard reboot. Not even while gaming. I tested it just web browsing and updating drivers. After 10 freeze and hard reboot cycles I’ve had enough. I’m going to exchange for another Ally in case mine is a lemon. If that machine performs better I’ll update this review. Until then, I would not recommend this at all. Get a steam deck.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from ASUS Answers
Posted .Dear MattA,
We do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused.
If you are experiencing system crashes and freezes with the laptop, check if the laptop is running with the most current BIOS version 319. Also, verify if Windows and drivers are updated in order to maintain optimum system stability and performance. While accessing cloud gaming, please check if the unit has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since poor and unstable internet connection will definitely affect system speed and performance.
If you need further assistance, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be 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.
Regards,
Rodel

Asus Rog Ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great system! So fun to play anywhere, Best Buy shipped when expected and when I got mine, Setup was so simple.
I would recommend this to a friend Great machine...edges out Steam Deck for me.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Ally hits all of the bullet points of the Steam Deck without sacrificing my ability to play games from PC Game Pass natively (without streaming or other work arounds). The power is nice to have, too. I did knock a star off because the Windows 11 touch screen experience vs. the Steam Deck UI is lacking and Armoury Crate, while improving, does not fix those issues.
