overall, it's a great handheld gaming pc it ran every game I threw at it including call of duty! Only real con to me is the battery life defiantly didn't last long enough for me.

I was looking originally for a gaming laptop but didn't really have the budget needed to get a halfway decent one. And then I found the Rog Ally! I got the Z1 purely because the games I play don't really require the extra power of the extreme. It's great, games run good, the updates suck but that's just windows updates in general haha I pretty much play this in bed so I almost always have it plugged in anyway but I will say, if playing on the go, definitely have the portable battery pack because it does drain quickly. All in all, I love it and am glad I purchased!

Can’t describe how amazing it feels to play with a perfect handheld like the rog ally. I play my steam/Xbox games on here with ease, definitely would recommend this to someone who wants a handheld console

Great product, I bought 2 for my sons. Better than any portable gaming device.

Great product for the sale price I paid. I enjoy the form factor for my current play style and the system is more than powerful enough to play the games I’ve tried!

It’s alright, it’s a good idea but the battery life is horrendous which really makes it being a portable handheld feel worthless when after an hour and half you have to sit next to a wall outlet to use it. It would have been 4 stars if the battery life wasn’t awful, but even at that the performance is mediocre but okay given what it is, but windows 11 for a handheld is trash and needs a ton of work. If I was still inside the return period I would probably have gotten a refund.

I think the futire of portable PC gaming is here. The ROG Ally is better than I had expected. And I think it’s ushering in a new generation of gaming devices. It is a windows device and will play all types of PC games. Plus any applications you’d like to load onto it. The only negative so far is the battery…it’s just doesnt last long, particularly with max settings. Maybe 2 1/2 hours. Less intensive games on lower settings can get you double that, but you’ll need to adjust your settings accordingly. If you’re a PC gamer who wants to play on the go with a dedicated device, right now, I think the Ally is the best on the market.

Great little portable emulation machine. While not as powerful as the other version of this, it still can game really well. Replace the 512gb to 1 or 2 TB and you'll be set.

Have issues with the left stick but otherwise works well for what it is i used it as my main pc for a year and a half before finally building a new pc and still going strong

I was skeptical about these handheld gaming consoles. But it is FAR different from a Switch or PSP or any other type of handheld gaming system. The Linux/Windows operability and compatibility made it extremely easy to clone my PC Desktop to this and just pick up where i left off. Installing the games and adjusting the gaming profiles makes a world of a difference. Does get hot and drains battery quick. But unless you are running epic/highest settings on each game you can still get a decent amount of gaming time in before having to plug it in! Highly recommend a case and screen protector to ensure the longevity cause this is definitely a system that will stay in my arsenal!

Do you want to hold a high end gaming PC in your hands?!? Do you want to game like a pro during your lunch break at work?!? Can’t decide if you want a Desktop, Laptop or Console?!? Well…….why not buy all 3!?! Can’t decide if you to use a PlayStation or Xbox controller?….A Keyboard and Mouse?….The handhelds gamepad? Well…Pick them all! Want to use the Rog’s insanely perfect 1980x1020, 120Hz, LCD screen??….Or maybe even run it on your 76inch 4k big screen on 3840x2160 resolution!!….Well, You can do both!!! Unless you’re running a rig that you’ve spent thousands of dollars on, I guarantee that this thing runs/downloads games better than anything you’re playing on now. The Rog Ally is nothing short of amazing! I have dozens of hours on it and have played everything from Cyberpunk, to Anthem, Division 2, Palworld, Starfield, numerous Call of Duty’s, Skull & Bones, PubG, Madden, The Crew, AEW Fight Forever, Forza, Sons of the Forest, Sea of Thieves, Hell Let Loose, Titanfall 2 and so on. You want something you can Emulate a PS3, Nintendo Switch, Xbox 360, Gamecube, etc?!? Want the ability to run Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Epic Games, Gog Galaxy, EA, Rockstar Games or even Battle.net?!? The Rog Ally gives YOU the ability to use any of the apps mentioned above!!! Do you like using Discord or in-game voice chat while gaming?!? You can do either!!! You can use the gamepads built in speakers, a set of earbuds, or even a Bluetooth or rca jack wired gaming headset. I went with the Asus Rog Cetra earbuds and the Corsair Virtuoso RGB wireless XT High-Fidelity Gaming Headset…..and also the Asus Rog Raikiri Pro gaming controller. Don’t listen to the horror stories you read, which are from EARLY Gen models. This is legitimately a gaming rig you can hold in your hands. Runs windows 11 smoothly and can access the same apps your desktop/laptop has. **In my honest opinion” this is NOT a toy you’d purchase for your kids or a child. If you’re getting on for them, understand that this IS a laptop with no restrictions and if they can’t build a pc from beginning to end, install/update software, navigate through the system and settings…then this is NOT for them. It took me nearly an entire day to get everything installed, uploaded and set up. I’ve been gaming on desktop pc’s for over a decade(37 years old) and this definitely has a learning curve. But……if they CAN manage a pc and want a handheld, then this is definitely the thing to get!!! Between the Rog Ally having insane graphics, a super clear and crisp 192x1080 LCD screen, and the ability lto connect to numerous gaming apps……this is an all around, super awesome, handheld gaming rig and I recommend everyone get one! After dozens and dozens of hours played, there are only 2-3 “negative” things to say about the Rog Ally. #1-When using Bluetooth earbuds or a headset, there is a 1 or 2 second delay between the action you perform and the audio. #2-The battery life is pretty short. Maybe 3-5 hours, depending on system settings and game settings. 3#-A lot of games you’ll play need some type of online services. So if you aren’t around wifi, you’ll need to find games you can play in “offline mode”.

This is thing is sweet!!! The best gaming system I've ever owned! Its portable, you can play game as a handheld or on your tv with Xbox controllers! It's lightweigh, fast and the graphix are excellent! If you're trying to get away from Playstation or Xbox membership renewals, here's you're oportunity. Nobody wants to pay to play games online that have already been bought and paid for Steam gets rid of all that efficiently!

As a computer beginner, this had my head spinning for the first night I had it. IDK what drivers are man. BUT this thing was patient with me, and when I finally got all my updates in order.... WOW. This machine is strong enough to power a spaceship, and fun enough to make you put up the Xbox. Be prepared to have it plugged in constantly though, it's an energy hog.

Very amazing gaming experience and very reliable. Sometimes it overheats but haven’t had issues with it.

Love this thing so much! I played it for hours after work or on the train. From story games like Expedition 33 to emulation to Multiplayer games it ran like a charm! Great battery and the charger worked well. Mine got stuck in a repair limbo then got stolen. Miss it every day! I recommend if you play video games, this should be the only option at this price!!

Great way to play Xbox Games as well as others like Steam. This was able to run most games, and most importantly I did win on Call of Duty in crisp fast gameplay. What was great is how easy was to access game library. However , it is also full Windows so did watch a few TV shows on, check email and watch YouTube. Controls feel nice, there is good customization options for the lights on control sticks. Player through many games on Xbox and enjoyed the fact it could run many games. Battery life on base model is def not perfect so I was often having to plug in. I was not using however dicking stations, or portable chargers. Still though to sit in airport waiting for flight , jumped on WiFi and played call of duty at my gate very cool Great system and Asus truly does cater to gamers by making easy to use and access new games through the stores interface .

Ive had the ROG Ally for a few months now and so far it has been a great purchase. While i have a PC, i was curious about gaming on this and playing games is super easy and they play great. While i played it a handful of times, my gf has been using it as she wanted to get into PC gaming. I bought her a whole dock set up and she plays it almost every night. While she doesnt like using mouse and keyboard, she is still able to use an xbox controller and play most PC games. Great product and i recommend it for those who travel often or who are getting into PC gaming but dont want to spend a ton of money on a new PC.

Great little console. Yes there are some buggy but these consoles havent been around for a long time so its expected. Only down side is the battery wish it was more

It was on sale so, had to try it, acutally love the product. Play it all the time. It does take a while to set upp all the games and controller but the regular version (note extreme) still can play mist of the games I want to play. I've actually transiones over to playing most of my games on it but since I have a gaming computer the ones that wont run great in it will just play on the conputer or streamplay them! I wouldn't recomend this for playing long times, the batery life is not great. Its good to play at home or a few hours but you do have to constantly charge it if you want to be anle to play for longer than an hour.

Got it on sale for $400 to play last gen (PS4) games. Works well across many game. Kind of tendious to set up but the freedom it allows is all worth it.
