ASUS ROG Ally Handheld Gaming Console (AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme Processor | 7" Full HD 120Hz IPS 500nits Touchscreen | 16GB RAM | 512GB PCIe SSD | AMD Radeon Graphics | Windows 11 | 3 Months Xbox GamePass

The best thing I've ever bought for myself! I've had this portable console/computer for just over a week and wow! i'm blown away by how awesome this thing is. The touchscreen is responsive and the image quality is great. The speakers are crazy good too. The memory capacity is expandable with a separately purchased ssd and seems beginner friendly to do, however I've yet to run into any problems and I've downloaded around 10/20 medium to heavy apps and games. I love that I can use it as a mini computer and I'd highly recommend buying a portable keyboard and trackpad set if you'd want to use it more like a laptop. I will also be investing in a dock so I can play games on the big screen. It takes a little while to work out how to use it and download all the updates, but once you get over that initial hurdle, this thing is a beast!!!! One small note - the battery life is only an hour long off charge, but I primarily play plugged in on the 2m charging cable provided. Overall, I'm really happy and my inner child is having so much fun :) Thank you Asus! I got this from Amazon Warehouse and paid £375 - absolute bargain.

I already own 2 Steam Decks and this was available for £399, so I grabbed one. I'd had my eye on it before but couldn't quite pull the trigger but at that price point, I felt it was rude not to. The first downside is you have to get a case for it, unlike the Steam Deck which already comes with one. It's not a major issue but I do feel that it should come with one given it's major competitor does and sometimes the little things matter. Anyway, if feels nice in the hand and obviously has RGB in certain places which is popular with some, but at least you can turn it off should you need to. It will update Windows (it runs under Win 11 if you didn't know but you probably do) pretty much when you get it, so wise to just get that out the way. I also upgraded the SSD to 2TB which for this model is the biggest currently (the newer one has a standard 2280 NVME so you could go to 8TB if you have the cash) and being honest, 512gb is nothing these days so you're going to want to upgrade. I also popped in a 512gb Micro SSD for games that speed of loading isn't such a factor. On the note of upgrading the SSD, both the actual physical install and the install afterwards of the OS is much easier than the Steam Deck - but if you're going to do an upgrade, I'd do it on arrival rather than later personally (you can clone it if needed but it's just easier/quicker to just do an over the air re-install IMO). Performance wise, it's perfectly fine. I'm not playing anything mega complex - Kingdom Hearts, FF VII and FMV games are my thing. The Armory Crate software has most of the normal launchers but Epic is one you'll have to install more manually at first (it will integrate into Armory Crate once installed though). It's also not the best front end, it's not the worst either and ultimately does the job. As the Steam Deck does, you can also install games across your LAN once connected which is useful (obviously you have to have your PC on to do so) and that just makes it quicker to do so than re-downloading it as such. Screen quality is very good, I have nothing negative to say there, even smallish text was fine. Battery life is ok - it's had a few BIOS updates since launch and I think those are more ironed out (there's also performance tweaking you can do here, as you can on Steam Deck). Sound from the speakers is very good, I feel a touch louder and cleaner than the Steam Deck but everything is subjective. You also have the ability, like the Steam Deck to play on a monitor but that's not for me - feels like it defeats the purpose of a portable system. Charging time is reasonable (it comes with the typical ASUS puck charger). I use a screen protector on all my devices so can't comment if the screen is resistant or not - I just protect that as standard. For the cash (which was discounted) I'm very happy I can play Steam, Epic, EA or whatever games without any fuss. Even games that have anti-cheat like Destiny 2 could run on this (I haven't done that, I do prefer to play that on my PC) which is one thing that the Steam Deck can't, or titles like Fifa (apparently - football is NOT my thing whatsoever). I like my Steam Deck, don't get me wrong, but having this just gives me a bit more flexibility overall. It's a really nice piece of kit and I'm glad I picked one up while I could.

Where do i start. This is a great handheld gaming device with great sound, visuals, processing and performance. It gives you access to all your pc games library’s including steam, epic, ea, ubi and gog aswell of course as your xbox. The let down for me was upon reading the advertisement info for this product on this page the promise of your entire xbox library will be available to play on this console when in truth only 80 of 600 are available from my library. I was hyped to get one of these for the sole purpose of being able to play forza anywhere i liked. The sad truth forza 7 will not start and the latest forza motorsport says this processor is not compatible with this title, it starts but runs in low quality settings mode. The forza horizon games run very well in stunning quality but sadly the motorsport titles do not. Allin all the console though is very nice giving you access to all your games to play where ever you like.

Love it, runs most games well. Great visuals, comfortable and easy to use. Well worth the price tag

It’s a great little device. Very fun and doesn’t get hot (I was expecting it to be boiling after an hour of use) nice screen and with the USB C connection and memory card slot, it’s very versatile. A note to anyone looking - It’s a handheld PC that runs Xbox games, not a dedicated Xbox. Therefore it needs a few windows updates every few times you turn it on. As long as you use it regularly to install the windows updates, it’s a great little device. It can even run steam (bonus). If you’re a casual gamer with a good home internet connection you have to stream most games to get access to the Xbox Library, unless you’ve bought the PC versions of the titles that you want to play then get this version and not the X version.

Calidad muy buena, autonomía muy corta. Yo juego ratos cortos y tiro con una powerbank de 45wh. Pero Windows no está preparado para este uso. Rendimiento muy muy bueno. Yo le he Aumentado a 2TB aunque la uso mucho para emular consolas y con los 512gb originales Dan para apenas 2 juegos AAA. Windows ocupa mucho y viene con apps que la gente no usará en esta máquina.
