This is a really good handheld gaming pc it can play any game on the go or at home this is a great investment

works great runs everything i need it to and then some also great gaming on it too

It's great for gaming with a busy lifestyle! I would purchase again if I needed to.

I bought this used but it was in excellent shape and it plays well ,no issues as of yet

nice on the go gaming device would recommend to anyone

Essentially useless as shipped. Needs steamOS installed to get decent performance. No touchpads make some games unplayable, such as Civilization. Plays FPS type games very well. Rear buttons are awkward to use. External GPU slot is interesting, but has limited use due to custom PCIe connector.

Works well for what I use it for and got it way cheaper then the z1 extreme.

This system replaces alot of pcs,and gaming consoles i would recommed this over any system out now

Love it honestly the best handheld gaming system on the market.

Because hand held ever, would most definitely recommend

I bought an open box, was cheaper than steam deck.

Runs everything I need it too, super convenient. Mostly cozy games, had some crash on startup issues on certain games like enshrouded. There is a really easy compatibility mode setting you can change that will make this device run anything. You’ll need to google it, it’s specific to steam not asus.

The best purchase I have made in awhile!!! The Asus Rog Ally, It works so flawlessly and I love the fact that you can play your steam games on it and xbox game pass too!! It's also a portable PC so you can use it to surf the web and do lots of aw stuff and watch videos as well. Hope to get another one for husband soon!!

Had to return after a few weeks due to financial issues, but it works really well for regular games, not anything to bug though I tried running hell divers in it and it really struggled. Fun for games like Risk of Rain.

First, anyone that says this replaced their gaming rig, was not a serious gamer and kidding themselves. A hobbyist for sure, but not someone that spends a lot of time and money on their gaming experience. This device sounded like a great idea. A handheld platform giving you the ability to really tap into cloud gaming options like Game Pass and Steam, etc. And it can definitely do this. But out of the box I was met with difficulties just because of the OS platform it's sitting on....Windows. Windows is made for a keyboard and mouse. I was attempting to get it setup and struggled for several mins trying to enter my wifi password just to proceed with setup. Once I got the controls sorted I was able to get around a little better. The touchscreen really helps a lot. But Windows UI is just not geared for sticks and buttons over mouse and keyboard. I love Windows overall, but having a full-blown desktop OS on a handheld like this is a real issue. Aside from controls mentioned above. Windows out of the gate attempts to activate OneDrive and so on just like it does on a PC. So because I used my shared login it's now attempting to sync gigabytes of data to this tiny device automatically. The Asus app that ties the UI into a more handheld mode didn't launch automatically when I set mine up. It does help, but then I was met with nothing but issues with their authentication service. It wanted me to create an account and offered to use my Windows login. So I tried this and it worked, but wanted me to confirm my email. When I clicked the confirm my email it failed repeatedly with an unknown error. I attempted to update my profile but the password was required and didn't sync with the same password as my Microsoft account. I then tried to create a whole new Asus account using my email vs Microsoft account. Same issue with the confirmation email. So I just gave up with this piece as it didn't seem necessary. The screen looks good, the handling is not bad, the buttons and sticks respond well and the touchscreen works great. So the hardware overall is really quite good, but the software is really where it falls short. I feel it really has a limited use case for gaming. FPS games are not going to be ideal on this platform. RTS games might not be bad. Some strategies prob ok. Anything with a lot of control options could be a real chore. Racing and Sports games are going to really shine on this type of platform. I think FIFA (EA FC) or Madden are well done here. Even Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter will fit well here. Cloud gaming tends to require a bit of bandwidth to work well. So now this means being in a place with good connectivity. Being on the road or out and about with it and using tethering or public wifi won't produce the most ideal experience. This platform will help you game on the go with sports, racing, and platformers/scroller style games. Don't expect to be crushing it on COD or Fortnite. I think my kids will enjoy it, but it's not for me.

This barely comlares in performance to steamdeck. If you want an upgrade then vet the z1 Extreme model for $100 more. At the time of the writing, Z1 extreme model has open box excellent for $120 off. Perfect for the price.

Wife loves it! She plays games on it constantly and the graphics are good

Excellent device. Love using it for XBox games. Sometimes it is slightly laggy but only when on On my way! wifi and it does not interrupt games. Id buy it again in a minte.

The ROG is awesome, I didn't really know what I was expecting from it, but it exceeded my expectations. The shipping was quick and arrived a day ahead of schedule.

Can i play destiny 2 before buying it i never had any pc handheld before
