As someone who loves tweaking their gadgets this is a lot of fun. However, if you are looking for a complete, out of the box experience, this might not be for you. I would recommend these tweaks to massively improve your experience. 1). Turn off aggressive CPU boost (search online to find out how) 2) Run all updates 3) If you don't go to shady sites, turn off Core Isolation in security settings 4) Use AMD super resolution for more FPS 5) Play around 50% brightness. I've been getting good performance and can get around 2+ hours on battery, although that's plenty my avg gaming session is usually around 45 mins to 1 hours. This is still a new product so hoping for new BIOS updates from ASUS to make it even better.

Awesome product by Asus..Ive played in this gaming handheld devices everything works fine and good but sometimes the FPS lag and the games sometimes freeze and hangs up..and again I've to reboot it and it's all fine..I think Asus will solve this problem in the new future..

Honestly this thing is amazing! Just want to start with that and end with my reasoning. From opening the package to actually using it, I was thoroughly impressed. The games that I play ( COD MW2, Chivalry, Depth, and Forza) all play great, and allow for a super enjoyable experience. The controls are perfectly placed and I’m so glad the charging port is on top. Honestly do not hesitate to purchase this power house. ASUS knocked it out of the park !!!

Great device but it can be tought to set up and get going unless you have used windows enough. But once set up and with game pass i couldn't qsk more from it. The display is crisp and fast. The sound is amazing. And after about a month of consistent use the triggers and joy sticks are still working great. The only thing to be aware of is there are units that have issues with the sd card reader, but as far as im aware i havent had any issues.

If you dont have experience with PC/Laptop Gaming then you will have a semi-hard time with this console. Once you get through the updates and setup it is well worth the price. Only wish they would’ve offered more storage with the more expensive model. The 512GB (475GB usable) is easily taken up with a few modern AAA game titles. Other than that the system is built to handle or be optimized to handle most if not all of your gaming on the go.

My son loves it....., the ROG Ally will come in two different configurations: a standard one for $599, and a more powerful one for $699, both of which have the same 512GB of NVMe storage in tow....Both models come with 16GB of LPDDR5 dual-channel memory and 256GB or 512GB PCIe 4.0 M. 2 SSD. The Z1 has a six-core Zen with twelve threads and four RDNA 3 cores for the GPU .... buy asus ally rog only from best buy recomend 100%%%%%

Look im am a gamer to the core, I own everything, but recently I've been getting tired of having to switch back and forth between playstation and xbox and my laptop. I love the games on all my systems and I just want something i can play them all on easley. This solves that for me. All for the price of one console, and i can play whatever i want at home on my tv or out on the go. Definitely worth no problems easy setup just like a normal PC.

Awesome little device. Everything works great. Battery life is lacking but I guess every battery is.

I love it! Had to return first one as I preordered and got very first batch. But second one is working great minus a tiny clicking noise in right joystick! Performance is better than steam deck, I willl make a warranty claim later down the road for the clicking sound or replace the joystick myself. THIS IS A PC! Not a console. You will have to play around with settings and stuff to get them where you want for frames per second etc!

I love the only thing I dont like is the battery life is to short but the product itself is perfect

Great gaming PC that I can carry with me during my trips and use as a replacement for a desktop. I wish it has two thunderbolt ports instead of proprietary and a regular Type C. Bought an open box, came without any accessories, but I don't need them with a dock station I already have. Vibration could be better. The screen doesn't support HDR, but the GPU does

This device has blown me away. The performance is unbelievable and the display is gorgeous. Ergonomics leave a bit to be desired, but easily fixable with aftermarket silicone grips. Battery life is pretty bad if running on "turbo" mode. Aside from those couple things, ai absolutely love it. Very happy with my purchase!

I have owned this device for almost 2 years. I got it on launch day! This has been my gaming PC for a year until I got my own laptop. I still use this handheld a a lot. I game in the couch, bed, and plane. I even bought this to Japan so I could still play Valorant (150FPS - Set to Low Quality) during my trip. Controllers are still great, no stick drift or whatsoever. I haven't had problems with the fans either. Windows is more convenient for me after all even in handhelds when it comes to gaming. There is the new Ally X, but I'll stick to this one until the next generation comes. Wish they released this one with the black version too just like the Ally X.

Runs smooth under power with AAA titles. Buttons feel good and the device isnt to heavy

Compared to the legion go, the rog ally performs similarly and drains battery at the same rate. The ally weighs less and it's easier to hold. With only a few video how tos online, most of how the ally operates is learned through trial and error. Regardless, many users will find the ally to be easy to use because its os is windows 11.

great portable gaming device. runs smoothly and looks great

Amazing! Super powerful handheld. I’m a ROG fan so this product definitely meets the expectations of anyone who uses ASUS ROG products. For transparency, I also have the Steam Deck Oled (Limited Edition) and I highly prefer the Z1 Extreme Ally anytime I want to get some game time. The Oled Deck is lighter and the platform offers a console-like however, the SteamOS just lacks the compatibility Windows 11 and features that aren’t matched (unless you’re somewhat versed in dev). The only let downs I have with the ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is that it 1/2TB isn’t a spec that’s offered and also, the product was supposed to include a 3 month trial for PC Game Pass but I didn’t get one. This is probably because I purchased it Open Box from BestBuy. Aside from these, I LOVE this handheld and highly recommend to anyone in the market but undecided between the various options out there. If you do get one, I recommend grabbing a 2TB m.2 nvme ssd and run a debloat program to remove the pre-installed apps/programs that run in the background eating up memory.

Great console, awesome performance. i wish they would’ve done better on the battery.

This thing is amazing. I have this and the steam deck and let me tell you this thing blows that out of the water.  It can play Diablo 4 on medium settings at 70-80 fps! I have also tried GTA 5, rdr2 and Cyberpunk. You really can play any game as long as it supports controllers, but at the same time you can hook this up to a monitor,keyboard and mouse, and treat it like a gaming PC if you wanted. The possibilities are endless!

Amazing device, very light, it's not loud at all and the performance is great.
