Community Reviews

This open box ROG Xbox Ally with the Z2 A chip is being framed as a budget handheld for Windows gaming and quick desktop use, with access to non Steam stores and a little more speed than a Steam Deck. The strongest value case lands around $450, since the current price is seen as too high for the hardware and the Z1 Extreme version is repeatedly described as the better performer. The LCD screen and weaker Z2 A positioning versus the Ally X or Legion Go are the main knocks. It reads as a versatile but price sensitive pick.

  • The open-box pricing may be considered reasonable only if it stays near the roughly $450 target.

  • The Windows handheld can run non-Steam stores, which may broaden game options beyond Steam libraries.

  • The device can be used like a desktop for quick startup, which may fit everyday tasks such as reading books.

  • The Z2A model is described as weaker than the Z1 Extreme found in the Ally X or Legion Go, which can hurt performance expectations.

    KingliciousOrangeJulius

  • The deal is criticized as not worth paying above about $450, and the pricing is described as badly mispriced for the Z2A performance.

  • The open-box unit may have already been returned, which can signal potential condition or satisfaction issues.

  • Battery wear is a concern when comparing older used Z1 Extreme units around the $460 range, especially after roughly 2.5 years.

Still not worth it, the Z2A is weaker than the Z1 Extreme which is in the Ally X or Legion Go. This is the joke one just like the original Z1 was.

The performance is worse than the old ally x, MSRP doesn't make sense.
Wait for the $999 one drops price

If you mean Z1, non-extreme, it'll come in close to the performance of this one. The ROG Ally with Z1 Extreme, however, is way faster than this handheld with Z2 A. There is a reason this one is already discounted $150. It's badly mispriced, and should only be a $450 handheld. It's a little faster than a Steam Deck.

Just like with a regular Xbox, if you wait a few more years Microsoft will increase the MSRP so that gamers can purchase it at an even better higher price Smilie

Why they would release this version is an insult to gamers. You release a new product that is inferior to the lowest offering in the previous generation at a higher price? You're gonna have a bad time.
it's almost like they released this POS and priced it ridiculously high so that people would opt for the X version by default.
