Better than my old desktop

I bought this to have a mobile gaming platform, but it's already been performing better than my old desktop! The hardware is close to what I was running on my old computer, but with significantly better graphics and speed. I know this is an older handheld at this point but it's worth the money to get one.

Great purchase for gamer Dads!

Very happy with my Z1 purchase. Awesome graphics and preformance. Now able to access my whole steam library and game on the go without taking up the TV. So the kids can still watch their shows and I can get some gaming in while hanging out with them. Waiting for my dock to arrive so I can play on the TV when the little ones are sleeping.

It just works

This little thing has brought joy back to me, even got it to play expedition 33, just wish the z1E was in stock because I believe that one could get me to 60 fps instead of 35

Amazing

It takes a minute to understand how everything works, but once you get the hang of it the device is everything in one. I'm also able to play my Xbox games great haven't had an issue with one yet

Amazing

I love everything about it it runs smoothly I play call of duty full graphics it runs better then my ps4 did I love it the only thing is the battery but I got this to play in my car so I just use a inverter to use the 65 w charger and it runs flawlessly it could use more clarity about the system especially for someone who switched from PS4 to PC it's confusing if it wasn't for YouTube I would be stuck the setup the owners manual could use more about hot to fix or problem solve

Very great handheld just a few critiques.

I love to use this on Road trips or when I get home and want to relax in bed. My only critiques with the Z1 version is the battery life and the slower processor compared to the Z1 Extreme. if you can get this version at a low price I would 100% recommend it.

Its okay once you get things worked out

The device i purchased needed absolutely everything updated! My BIOS had to be reconfigured and then updated, i had about 7 updates for win 11, ( and to be fair, I expected that) and either 4 or 5 updates from ASUS, and that i did not expect. Once i got the BIOS reconfigured, the security boot status locked in ( it was disabled), I was and have been able to play anything I've wanted to play within reason. Although, to be completely honest, I thought i was buying the Ally X, but that was an error on my part. I strongly recommend either getting 1TB micro SD card ( or higher) or getting the larger SSD, because you will definitely need it! The Z1 with 512GB SSD does run out of space super quick and you will find yourself constantly cleaning up and or deleting stuff from your memory just so you can add games. Right now, i have COD war zone and war thunder to play. With those two games alone, they have just about maxed out my internal memory. So definitely take that into consideration. The AMD drive seems to be a bit buggy, but still usable and outside of that, everything else works great! Id recommend this for someone who doesn't do a lot AAA gaming. Either way, im still enjoying it for the most part.

Dear Ayanrjdm, Thank you for your comment. We do understand your disappointment with the ROG Ally and the inconvenience this may have caused if the battery dies within 20 minutes and the SD card stop working after a day of usage. The short battery life indicates the device running in Tubo mode, which is not sustainable on battery alone. To resolve this, immediately switch to Silent or Performance mode in the Command Center, reduce screen brightness, and close background apps. Expect roughly 1–2 hours of gameplay depending on settings. If the SD card suddenly stop being detected, try to do a power cycle and load default settings in the BIOS. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me atcl-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/. Thank you for choosing an ASUS product. Regards, Rodel ASUS Customer Loyalty
