    It does an amazing job! I’ve been using it every night after work. Love that I can bring it anywhere I want and play almost every game I own.

    Great for on the go gaming and can run most games at medium settings at 60fps. It does have Bluetooth so you can connect a controller to it and prop it up and game instead. The battery also lasts about 3-4 hours depending on how demanding the games you play are.

    This device is great! I have used it so much since I bought it, it might not be as easy to use as the steam deck but as long as you are willing to do some windows tweaking it runs perfect. I had to uninstall some normal windows things that for some reason Microsoft things should be on a handheld, I know because it is just base windows but still they need a solution to have a bespoke windows fork for handhelds. The device is so wide open you can do anything with it, the only thing I wish it had is an Oled screen, performance is great, haven’t had any issues with overheating but that OLED screen on the steam deck is beautiful compared to the LCD.

    Great for a handheld! I’ve been playing triple A title games such as Diablo 4, GTA 5 and Halo Infinite with no issues. Awesome for on the go and battery last up to 2-3 hours, longer for less power hungry retro type games.

    Yes this has a longer battery life and a bit more ram then the Ally with Z1 Extreme. For me, I couldn't justify the additional $400 price tag so I just ended up sticking with the Ally Z1 Extreme.

    I purchased this after owning and selling off my original Z1 extreme. I only sold that one because I couldn't stand having the SD card getting burnt out. The rog ally x takes away that problem and the performance boost with the extra ram is absolutely worth it. Also being able to use the standard 2280 m.2 is another amazing upgrade. I love this machine for modern games, console streaming and emulation. It's amazing.

    Awesome Handheld device! This is great for streaming games and for game emulation. I have no issues downloading and playing games from the PS2 era. This is pretty much a portable laptop with great handheld gaming capabilities. Highly recommended!

    Solid Improvement Over the Original

    Solid improvement over the original Rog Ally. This model added more RAM and improved the battery life. While Windows is still an issue, if that isn't something that bothers you then this is a solid option for a portable gaming PC. It also allows you to play games from any storefront which not all other handhelds can provide.

    The Ally X, is so close to great!

    The build quality of the ROG Ally X is solid, and its cooling system and battery performance show significant improvements over the original Ally. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. Windows 11 continues to be a frustrating experience; it remains overly bloated, and the AMD drivers are just not stable enough. I encountered frequent random game freezes, crashes, and issues with Windows updates breaking the drivers. I ended up spending more time troubleshooting and tweaking the system than actually enjoying games, which led me to return the device. As for whether the new Xbox Ally X will solve these problems, I’m uncertain. What I do know is that the Z2 Extreme will need to be a significant leap forward in both performance and efficiency compared to the Z1, with far less need for Windows tweaking. Ideally, there should be a single, user-friendly platform for updating the operating system, drivers, and other components. If you're after a device that offers a "pick up and play" experience with minimal fuss, the Steam Deck or the Nintendo Switch 2 are better options. However, if you enjoy fine-tuning the OS and don’t mind the occasional game crash or system hiccup, then the ROG Ally X might still be worth considering. However, keep in mind that SteamOS is not a viable solution to the problems above; its lack of compatibility and issues with anti-cheat software make Linux unsuitable for serious gaming.

      Dear CertainWindows42,


      Thank you for your feedback.

      We do understand your disappointment with the product and the inconvenience this may have caused if it did not meet your expectations. On the contrary, lots of satisfied customers, having positive experience using the product, will agree that this handheld device works properly with Windows 11 and will play most popular games as long as WIndows, drivers, BIOS, games and applications are up to date. Additionally, ensure your settings inside the Armoury Crate utility software does not go beyond the game's threshold. Firthermoremore, while Cloud gaming, this device has access to a stable and working internet service since poor internet connection will definitely cause system crash and freeze. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.

    I really love this thing. Games look great on it and I can use Steam, Epic, EA, etc no issues. The biggest plus for me is that since its windows 11 I can run Launchbox and have all my emulation on it as well. Its pretty confortable in the hands overall, I wish the sides were more rounded out to be a little fuller for a more comfortable grip over time. With the horsepower this has I see it being viable for games for quite a few years.
