Very good value at this price point
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really happy with the device so far. It’s snappy as a mobile Windows PC, and games very well. It’s also very strong on emulation. The battery life could be a little better, but that’s about my only complaint.

great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great handheld. runs very well, may not run the hottest, newest games (triple a titles) but that is not really what it is for in my mind, i got it on sale and for the price, well worth it.

Great product. Cheapest windows gaming handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this product. The screen is great for handheld gaming but you may need a dock for windows productivity. Great SD expansion slot for extra storage, great for retro gaming storage. Only has one USB c port so you may need a dock/adapter to connect other devices. Turbo mode device kinda gets hot but most games run well in performance mode/ silent mode. Runs windows application on par with most Windows laptops. I got it at $400 so it is a great buy at that price. At $500 still greatest for gaming because of the more powerful integrated GPU and size. but larger screens laptops may be better for productivity. Could use one more usb port on device though.

Great handheld pc
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beautiful screen, takes time to setup. Battery life is around 1 hour to 1 and 30 mins with my testing. Runs Xbox very well. It was what I was needing to game when tv is being used.

Great for medium-light gaming and emulation
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall a good handheld device, instead of being a handheld console it’s more of a laptop with a gamepad instead of a keyboard and trackpad. It’s able to “play” most games but everything has to be set to low for a decent and stable frame rate. The Z1 Ally is great for medium-light gaming and emulation but if you want good performance I’d say go for the Z1 Extreme Ally

Great handheld PC
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome! I can stream all my games from xbox, playstation, play pc games natively. If i want to run my pc games maxed out i use the geforce now service for those AAA titles with all the great visuals maxed out (ultimate service). I got this over the more expensive version because I had the intention of mainly streaming games to it on my local network for the most part. I use it everyday, i do not regret the purchase and for $399.99 it is a very nice pc. I bought a dock for mine so i can hook it to a tv in my home and use a keyboard and mouse or controller and play on a tv too. I could go on and on about it. Great bang for the buck!

Great handheld up there with the heavy hitters
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic handheld! As someone who also has a steamdeck and a switch. This one fits right in. I mainly use this for Xbox gamepass as windows is its OS (and I didn’t really want to dual boot my SD for multiple reasons) it’s nice being able to download Xbox games and play them on the go. Currently I am playing through Halo and boy oh boy does it run great! The controls feel exactly like I feel they should. I have ran into very few issues that couldn’t be corrected quickly. All in all, This is fantastic.

Great handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its not a computer for competitive gaming or streaming on twitch, youtube. But for a casual pc and console gamer thus is the perfect device. Its more powerful than my msi gaming laptop. Well worth the money

Good device but missing some features
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ROG ally is a good device in terms of hardware, but is very lacking in the software functionality of the device, the Armory crate mode is very nice but should be more simplified, and having a mouse pad on the front like the Steam deck would be a very nice addition, when browsing the internet. Besides that the 120hz screen and led features are very very good
