For the same price as a Switch 2, it's a great deal. Only drawback with the ROG Ally is its battery life. I've had the Z1 Extreme Ally since close to its launch date in 2023, but as someone who likes to not have battery anxiety, I don't use it as much as I used to, and tend to prefer Android handhelds like my Odin 2 Portal or more recently my Switch 2. The Ally is one of the most powerful PC handhelds out there, so if you use Turbo mode you can get some CRAZY performance out of it. It's incredible in that regard. It's also comfortable, has great controls, supports VRR, 120hz, and for a non-OLED has great colors and surprisingly decent black levels. It's overall a much better screen than the Switch 2's. You can even throw on SteamOS or dualboot Windows and Bazzite if you'd prefer to not strictly use Windows (but the major benefits of Windows is native Game Pass support and its ability to play games that use anti-cheat). Really, the only thing that holds it back is its battery life, which is resolved with the more expensive Ally X.

^ Windows does suck.
Replace it with Bazzite or SteamOS. Dual boot for Game Pass / non-steam.

Why not just do the 74Whr battery mod?

It's really easy to do, and almost double your battery life. I've done it and love it. Did a few other mods too. Hands down, this is a killer deal especially with the current newegg gift card deal going on.

I have thought about getting one of these for a while, but it is really hard for me who already owns a steam deck. Sure, ROG Ally is more powerful but most of the games I played on these devices are not 3A so it is likely no meaningful performance difference. I also don't play these games which require windows and anticheat stuff.

Depends on what kind of experience you want. If you want a more refined experience. Go with ROG ally. It you want a jack of all trades master of none with a little rough at the edge. Then go with legion go.

Is this refurbished? If it's brand new, I'd say go for it. I LOVE my ROG Ally from previous NFM deal (BB price matched). Just managed to get the free case today. It was a huge hassle because the free case never popped up when I bought mine online. They are sending me a 40 dollar gift card via mail. We're back at 1950's... LOL
Did a 4TB NVME upgrade, 74Wh battery upgrade (it's a must!), Skull & Co grip case (outstanding case by the way), and I'm just ginning ear to ear when I play this thing on my trips / commuting. I've been gaming on this a lot more than I do on my 9800X3D + 5090 PC. At 15W power mode, on battery, if you tweak the settings just right, this thing is a monster of a gaming handheld and the battery can last several hours (the 74Wh one that is). Can't believe I haven't pulled the trigger earlier than now. It's that good, and so much fun. The 7 inch screen is amazing with VRR - 1080p games look fantastic, 900p resolution is a good compromise between frame rate and battery power, throw some FSR and Frame Gen and you're all set. Plays Gears of War 5 at 1080p just fine with very nice texture settings, Forza Horizon 5 900p is really good too, 93 fps on the benchmark. DBZ Sparking ZERO is a another great performing game in 900p. Ghosts of Tsushima too runs great 900p. Gaming at 720p looks a bit too blurry for my liking. Emulators are awesome too. This thing runs laps on the MSI Claw Ultra 7 I had gotten from Target a few weeks ago. What a terrible handheld that one. Retuned it a couple of weeks ago.
I really want to install whatever Microsoft is cooking for the new Xbox ROG Ally X on my ROG Ally. This is going to be a gamechanger for all Windows powered handhelds.

Ooh, yes, I forgot to mention that in my earlier post. If you get one of these, avoid using the SD card slot and instead just upgrade the SSD. There's even an adapter you can buy to use 2280-sized SSDs. I use that adapter and have a 4TB 2280 NVME SSD in my ROG Ally. The Ally's SD card slot seemingly fried two different SD cards I used in it. So don't even bother with it. It's a pretty well known point of failure on this system, unfortunately. But SSDs are faster at loading games anyway.

I second this. My SD card slot fried without even using an SD card in it.
