||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great little device. Its main issue is the hurdle of navigating windows. If you debloat the system, your frames will improve by a decent margin.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a student that doesn’t have much time to sit down and play games. This lets me get back into doing that. I’m very pleased with it. The only thing I would recommend is a micro sd card as storage fills up quick.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Picked this gem up and have loved it since day one. I havent had a problem with any game granted im not running stuff at max settings. I have consoles for that, dont believe all the negative reviews. This is well worth this price
I would recommend this to a friendLove it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better than the steam deck in everyway. I’ve used windows, cachy, and steamos they all work great on it. Only wish it came with a case like the Deck

Thats the only issue ive had. Otherwise this this is amazing.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for a 2nd pc !
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system contains every pc game libary like steam, epic, gog and many more including emulation. Can be docked and used like a regular computer and this system is great for consideration over a switch 2 if you have a vast game libary and dont care about exslusives, the 120 hz refresh rate is smooth and the controls are very responsive.
I would recommend this to a friendBetter than steam deck!

I would recommend this to a friendThoughts on the ally
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Okay so this isn't bad. Me coming from the steam deck which seems to be a lot simpler. I was a little overwhelmed. Even now I am. I'm getting the hang of it it's not an Xbox coming straight out of the box it takes sometime. Overall it's pretty cool having all of my PC games in one section the armory crate is cool but there's some little problems here and there I don't like.

Great Gaming Handheld
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was great for a handheld and as long as you don’t care about running ultra super mega graphics for games it will run most games just fine….also my hands sometimes go numb after holding my Nintendo Switch Lite….not for the ROG Ally….the hand grips don’t allow for the normal numbness I feel after holding my switch for a while.

Best Buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this handheld. I was able to get it online on Best Buy and was able to pick up the next day they worker was very helpful
I would recommend this to a friend Good quality gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery lift could be better, but cloud and remote play do not give no issue. Best handheld gaming I’ve had
I would recommend this to a friendAsus Rog Ally
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its lighter than most handhelds. It works with most games but some still need to be adjusted to work. Storage on it is small for the one i got but it can get a sd card to add more storage. All in all I'm most pleased with it
I would recommend this to a friendfeatures I like the most
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ally X provides a noticeable performance bump in AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 or Elden Ring, thanks to the faster RAM and the efficient Z2 Extreme chip. If you play indie games or older titles, the original Z1 Extreme model is still a "720p beast" that handles modern games surprisingly well with FSR (upscaling) enabled.
I would recommend this to a friendSteven black
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The system exceeded all my expectations! Really smooth graphics and the interface between steam and xbox is very smooth as well.

Great item
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wife’s an avid gamer bought as a present for her and she absolutely loves it!
I would recommend this to a friendIt’s a OK handheld
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This system I would recommend to someone who plays slightly older games. Any unreal engine 5 game it won’t run the game without FSR on performance and even then it’s 20-25 fps and it’s not enjoyable with that much up scaling using FSR. I’ve tried Subnatica 2 and it barely runs although this is a entry level handheld I wouldn’t spend the money on this one and I would just spend the little extra to get a z1 extreme or z2 go handheld that is refurbished.

ROG xbox ally
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a very decent handheld don't get me wrong. You can actually play most of the games on it. I would definitely suggest it to people who want play games like silk song or resident evil or other similar games. The problem comes when it tries to play latest games and it doesn’t feel future proof. If you already have a gaming pc this doesn’t give you that play that game from anywhere kind of a vibe just yet. Maybe we need to wait another generation.
