    This machine is the perfect power house for on the go gaming. I was in the market recently looking for one because of my job and saw that this one was on it's way to release. After doing a little research I decided to pull the trigger and pre order. After of having the device you would be hard pressed not to see it in my hands it handles all the games that I want play with such ease including very recent titles like Street fighter 6 and Diablo 4. I can't express how much I am satisfied with this purchase.

    I love the device, I’ve had it since launch day after some tweaks this thing is running just how I want it. It can play everything I throw at it. It does require some knowledge of windows and how to set things up, tweaking settings ect…I sold my steam deck for the rog ally and I have zero regrets. Don’t listen to the negative reviews ! Always awesome buying with Best Buy they have the best hassle free returns

    Got rhis today for Christmas from my Wife. Absolutely amazing, pairs well with my Asus gaming laptop. From the moment I turned it on and set it up they were integrated with each other, super easy setup and super cool to play games on. I would recommend this to everyone.

    Great device. 10/10 on everything except a few points. -Would be better if there were other colors. -The fact that the gfx card extension is proprietary and not universal is a negative. -The "m" buttons in the back are legitimately terrible. Sure you *can* assign other functions to them but what's the point when pushing them while playing is so hard? -It could have had a 1tb storage option

    Awesome Little Game Console

    For how tiny this thing is- it is a powerhouse! I’m not a super tech savvy gamer and I didn’t want to spend $1,000+ on a laptop or desktop gaming computer. For $700 this thing is awesome! Plays my few steam games like a charm. BeamNG Drive and Destiny 2 work flawlessly with very very VERY little lag. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a small handheld that runs the full windows experience.

    Plays older AAA games without issue

    Incredibly, this plays older (but still modern) games like Fallout 4 pretty well. I’d say the performance is comparable to an Xbox One or Playstation 4. It’s arguably more user friendly for casual gamers than Steam Deck, and I have zero issues modding games since it runs Windows. I went in expecting to have play games on super low settings and I’ve been pleasantly surprised!

    single greatest piece of technology.

    this is hands down one of the most impressive pieces of technology to date. with almost as much processing power as a series x or ps5 it’s genuinely hard to not want this device at this price point. it’s genuinely like having a mini computer in your hands, especially considering it’s all windows 11 based. the battery life isn’t too impressive, but that’s to be expected when you have such a small machine pumping out such a large amount of power. if you’re thinking about getting this machine think no longer.

    Ergonomic, ergonomic, ergonomic. the 3 things that are important to me the ally was a great fit in my hands on Day 1. Of Course the graphics Great, sound level with cooling "low level", audio best for what all handhelds must do. All in all I am very happy worked well on the first day I used it. Monster Hunter world, Risk of rain, Elden ring, Horizon. Took some advise from the people in the reviews.

    Absolutely amazing Windows handheld for the price. Comparable units would be $1099+ and wouldn't have that VRR/FreeSync screen and Z1 APU. It has some 1st gen issues, but as long as Windows isn't a foreign thing to you, you'll be fine as long as you didn't get a dud. If you want a console simpleton type of device then get a SteamDeck, in fact buy mine, it's been collecting dust despite my love for it.

    Handheld PC; Gaming on it is great, very convenient and if you’re just trying to unwind after a whole day of work and not enough time to actually sit down in front of the setup. Very responsive; I’ve used it as a regular pc, connected on a display & m+kb, and it works great.

    I was absolutely skeptical about buying this item, even thought about returning it but i gave it a couple days of use and ended up falling in love with it. For q handheld gaming device it runs great graphics and i can play AAA games smoothly with no issues. I play cod competitively and rocket league with minimal differences between the rog and my gaming pc other than the obviously exorcted differences. 10/10 recommend. Love my rog ally.

    compared to the Steam Deck the software could be so much better, but whether thats the price you pay for buying a Windows handheld or it being made by ASUS with their notoriously jank Armoury Crate software has yet to be seen. Despite the software jank though the performance, flexibility and the screen on this machine still makes it worth it in my eyes and it can handle emulation like a pro.

    Ive been wanting a handheld for a long while and this was a great buy for me. I can log into all of my game accounts and play most anything in my libraries. I personally havent run into any deadstick or sd card reader issues though others have. Mostly playing diablo 4 and a few older games on it but so far so good! I really like how its a pc as well. With a hub plugged in I can run a hdmi, a mouse, and keyboard to it and use it as a pc and unplug and game when i want. I really like it.

    Very accessible and very responsive. The AMD chip does wonders for this handheld windows seamless and the grip is not too wide to make it uncomfortable and the screen is just the right size for viewing battery life could be better but you’re usually next to a outlet that you can just stay charged and turbo mode for optimum efficiency. Can go wrong with this device, def recommend it for a portable handheld!
