Needs more power for most games.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As most have already stated this machine is mostly for minimally demanding games. COD, arc raiders and those tupes of games stutter a lotand the entire aystem moves very slowly. The Xbox Ally X is by far a better performance device but yiu sre oaying a lot more. This one is comparable to steam deck but with windows an and LCD.

Posted .Dear CarlosandresV,
Thank you for your feedback.
We do understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused. If you are experiencing system freeze or performance issue with the device, check if Windows, drivers, BIOS and games are up to date. Updates for the ROG Ally are posted at: https://rog.asus.com/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-xbox-ally-2025/helpdesk_download/ . Additionally, check if you are running the most current Armoury Crate utility software. The most current version is available for download at: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/armoury%20crate/helpdesk_download/. While accessing cloud games or web applications, please ensure the device has access to an established router and internet service is working properly since poor and unstable internet connection will affect system stability and performance. Keeping the device always updated will maintain optimum system stability and performance. If these steps were performed to no avail, please try to run a diagnostics or optimization test using the "MyASUS" utility software or application. If this is not pre-installed on the device, please download the application at the Microsoft Store. For details on how to use "My ASUS", please go to: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1041686/.
If you need further assistance, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be 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/.
Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.
