The battery life is quite bad only lasting 3 hours on full battery in performance mode, but overall I do enjoy the portable pc you guys made. Being able to play "most" PC Games on a decently sized handheld is just so cool to me, and without being restricted to just one platform is absolute perfection

As someone who’s exclusively gamed on console, this is game changing. The battery life is definitely lacking but understandably so and the issue isn’t without its workarounds. If I want more out of it I can play a smaller title and lower the operating mode, if I want to play a more demanding game I can attach a battery pack or plug it in or just be happy playing for an hour or so. Also windows is as impossibly irritating as it is enabling the device to do what it does. Hopefully Microsoft puts some work into making windows a better experience for handheld devices but even as it stands now, I’m happy with my Ally.

I own a nintendo switch and was looking for a device were I can play my xbox games on the go. The Rog ally filled that need. I was skeptical at first but once I personalized the device and downloaded the games I wanted to play the system is great. I totally recommend it.

Absolutely loving this device. It has literally changed the way I game now. Instead of sitting in front of a PC or console… I am gaming pretty much anywhere that I have some time. It’s not perfect and it seems like a lot of tinkering, but that is any Windows gaming.

Honestly, this is a really good device. Being able to play PC have on a handheld is unbelievable. There are some things I will would fix though. The battery life and general polish. The battery life is really short, even at 15 watts, the most it will last is 2 maybe even 3 hours. Making you rely on a charger a lot more. The second thing is the Polish. Sometimes the power button doesn't turn the device on and sometimes the fingerprint doesn't work either, making you rely on pin. Also random crashes will interfere with my gaming sometimes. I was also going to talk about the enormous SD card design flaw but I feel like y'all already know about that. Aside from everything that I've said, this device is absolutely unbelievable and is a great start of the future handheld gaming.

I'm very impressed by this little piece of hardware. I didn't know what to expect because I'm use to high end 4k graphics. That being said, I've tried newer and older titles and some run better then others. But it's always a playable experience with good to great framerates. Some games run in medium 1080p, others I need to reduce the settings for a better frame rate. I love the ROG Ally. I have a huge steam library and the idea of having all the stores as opposed to just steam with the steam deck is awesome. Xbox game pass runs great on the deck there's so many games to play. Is this a laptop replacement? Depends on what type of laptop performance you expect. If you're a lower end pc user that casually games then yes, yes it can replace your laptop. If you like high end graphics it will not replace a high end laptop or desktop.(may replace your switch).It will however find a nice place in your gaming lifestyle. I love watching TV and gaming on the ally, I love travel with the ally, I love how the ally feels.5 stars asus you hit it out the park with the design and I look forward to what's to come with handheld PC's. I do recommend upgrading your solid state drive and skipping the card reader.

My occupation requires me to fly weekly to different places so traveling with a console or even a gaming laptop added to my work laptop was too much to carry. The Ally is great fit to meet that category to help out sometimes with extended stays in the hotel.

Little bit of a learning curve but very hapy overall. I am havjng a problem with Asus recognizing any sim cards for extended memory. So far this doesnt seem to be an option. So you are stuck with the amount of memory you have with purchase or you can buy more jn the cloud.

I think this is soooo much fun! It is cheaper than the MSI Claw and the Steam Deck. While reviews I read about those portable systems sound like elite gamers report those as being the best ever. To an everyday person like myself, this is beyond perfect! It is half the price of the others AND to my knowledge it is the only one you can play both Steam games and Xbox games on. I have heard you can also play PlayStation Now games or PlayStation Next too. I just have not tried that myself. I have been playing Halo complete and it has been fantastic. I have played for hours, never had the battery die. The graphics are great. You figure, tons of people bought the Nintendo Switch OLED in this same price point and do not get even half the variety of games available as this system gives you immediate access to. I think the only downside, (if there is one at all.) You do have a bunch of updates to load right out of the box and that takes a bit when you are dying to try out the system. All I can tell you is, it was worth the wait! I am beyond happy and encourage you to try this one first. It is like having a full.on gaming computer in your pocket. Oh yeah, it works off of a Microsoft Windows system so you can ditch your tablet, this will do it all! Movies, music, surf, yes! You will save a ton of money and you won't be disappointed! Give it a shot.

My rog is good and I love how small and light weight it is but there is a fee things that I don't like. First one is that the battery dies super fast and the second is I have only had it 4 months and the joy stick is already messed up it won't let me go right our left.
