I would recommend this to a friendNot What I Expected for Modern Games
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t usually write reviews, but this one feels worth sharing. I bought the ROG Xbox Ally looking for an alternative to play my game library without feeling like I was using a laptop. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed when I realized that some games don’t run well at all. A clear example is Fortnite — the experience was honestly pretty bad. If you’re a casual gamer and mostly play older-generation games (PS3 or Xbox 360–level), this device might make sense for you. But if you’re looking for something more powerful, I’d strongly recommend looking at other options. I ended up switching to the ROG Ally X (the black one), and that was the right move for me.
