with Gamepass, and access to Epic Games and Steam library, i can now play PC games conveniently from my desk at work, on my couch, or wherever.
game changer for me, to finally play Spider-Man 2 without buying a PS5, and any of my other PC games, not bound to my computer.
comfy for long play sessions, due to the built in xbox gamepad, this baby rocks!
sure, the black version is more highly powered, but this one hit all my needs for a way more affordable price.

I previously bought and then returned the ROG Ally, not the Ally X, because it's interface with using just Windows as a starting point didn't work well for me. This Xbox ROG Ally is much more user friendly and seems more powerful and I've really enjoyed using it so far. It uses full screen Xbox or Steam apps which streamlines the user experience. I won't be returning this model.

I got this a couple of weeks and loved almost everything it had to offer. The xbox grips make gaming really comfortable. The sound quality was really good. The picture quality was good for not being an oled screen. Having the ability to use steam, xbox, gog or epic launcher for games is really nice. You can also stream games from steam similarly to the Playstation portable. One thing id say is the power leaves a lot to be desired. It ran mass effect legendary collection good, halo master cheif collection good and left 4 dead 2 with mods really well. When it came to spider man 2 and battlefield 6, it was a rough experience with low ghraphical settings and turbo settings on. Tired to get college football 14 revamped working on a ps3 emulator and was getting 1-14 fps. Didnt matter if the revamped mod was installed or not, if it was on turbo settings or tweaked settings in the emulator itself. Id say either stick with the Rog Ally A1E or pony up for the ROG ally xbox x. I guess id say you would have to ask yourself if you wanna try AAA games on it or stick to more of older titles.

Nice handheld with comfortable grips and really good speakers. Don't except to play all the AAA games, but if you have a pc gaming library it will play most of them and even run mods or emulators. If you play alot of fps games, i may recommend the steamdeck instead as the touchpads on that work better as a mouse then the joysticks on the X box Ally. If you can find a nvme stick, the X box Ally does use standard sized sticks of memory if you want to upgrade it or run Bazzite, making it a bit easier to upgrade compared to other handhelds and the smaller sized ones they usually use.

Runs my windows games easily without requiring extra setup or workarounds. Great battery life. The new windows handheld mode has worked seamlessly so desktop is not necessary. Exceeded my expectations!

I really liked it but it was not ready for prime time. It was comfrotable , astectically pleasing and not that difficult to set up ( although it was a lengthy process ). Also I feel like it was 150-$200 too expensive for what it delivered in performance . Returned it but plan on buy the Ally X version.

A real mini PC that can play games on Steam, GamePass, and Playstation Plus. It works really well, graphics look great also. I'm glad I finally made the purchase. I didn't know what I was missing.

Arrived on release date! That was fantastic. The device it’s self is great, I have not complaints. I can actually use my Xbox headset to connect via voice chat without having to use wired connection, even connects to my shockz! I love it. Plays AAA games perfect, minor lag in cloud play, doesn’t not get hot like the Ally 7’s do. Battery Life is amazing, I have not run it dead playing COD yet.

Great device, might not be the full Xbox everyone wanted, but I think being able to play steam games is even better than that. I would only buy if it’s on the 489$ discount though, otherwise get a leigon go s or steam deck.

I think this is a great present for my 11 year old! I do think the price is steep but he requested it for Christmas and loves it! It’s a nice way for him to take his games between his households. He would recommend 5/5!!

Not bad. I think they put more work into the X version. The buttons are clunky and the X gets randomly stuck since day one. I'm not a Xbox user so the Xbox game thing just gets in the way. I do enjoy the ease of use and that Steam games run fairly decent on it. Just remember not all pc games are compatible with a controller and may not be the best for someone who has non-compatible games.

Definitely recommend this for any style of gamer. I wanted this handheld for the many times I want to play a game but can't be in my cave on my Xbox and it delivers that. It also allows me to experience the steam side of gaming which I never thought would happen because I wasn't a PC gamer.

If you are a PC gamer first and also enjoy Xbox play anywhere titles and Xbox games pass ultimate, this gaming handheld is a great purchase. Is PC but also has the console feel to it when you are using bid screen mode or the Asus Armory feature. There is a bunch of You Tube tutorials rhat are really easy to follow. Recommended!

Love it should’ve brought the X. It does what you want it to do but Games are so big these days that extra space is needed
