ASUS ROG Ally RC71L-NH001W – 7" FHD IPS, AMD Ryzen R1 Extreme, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, iGPU, Windows 11 Home (Renewed)

Device had a non functioning SD card reader (common fault with ROG Aly that I didn't know about.) I didn't know until trying to use a SD card, and trying different ways to fix it before finding out that the motherboard traces are easily damaged that are connected to the micro SD card reader, which is covered with a free repair on Asus products, if there not resold. (and to make matters worse, convientaly this device ran out of it's warranty days after it arrived!) Seller either didn't know or didn't test the device properly before sending or new and sent it anyway. Buy new or buy a steam deck. Do not buy refurbished in any condition. Infuried that Asus let this happen and are doing nothing to fix the issue. Never again, Asus!

In perfect condition, works well, and no real issues so far. The device was setup already which I liked since I didn't have to mess with accounts or anything. The screen looks good, the speakers sound good, but the battery life is not good. Perhaps it's because I haven't played with it enough yet and optimized it's settings, but even on the lowest of low power modes, it drops a percentage point every 8 seconds. Maybe the battery was not replaced and it's still the original, which has degraded. No worries, I can always just replace it. It was also VERY cold, so maybe the battery needs some time to get adjusted. The charger works good, though takes a little longer than I'd like to recharge. This isn't necessarily a "Go over to your friends house and have a 4 hour gaming session" with no charger kind of console, but rather something that you can take around to have the ability to play games. It's more like a super portable gaming laptop than anything, since those laptops have terrible battery when gaming and usually are played plugged in but you can at least take them places. This console is similar. Overall, great

I’m really liking it so far. I just received it yesterday, the shipping was a little slow. It took them a few days to send it out but once it was shipped it only took 2-3 days. Everything works great, the only thing I noticed which isn’t a make or break for myself is the right side of the paddle isn’t completely closed versus the left side. It’s nothing major but it’s to be expected when ordering refurbished. $100(ish) off and that’s the only issue. I’ll take that. I put a case on it and it’s not even noticeable afterwards. If you’re looking to purchase the rog ally, I’d suggest this from my experience but I did notice some reviews were pretty bad. I took the chance and am pretty happy with it. I might even purchase another one in the future for my girlfriend. If you have a pc I’d recommend uninstalling one drive from it and your ally because it will move everything over to your ally, which is a pain imo due to space and limited performance being a handheld. One last thing is it’s not quite as fast as I’d hoped for with games but like I said I just received it yesterday so I have to tinker with settings and hopefully it will improve my gaming experience. I did a little bit so far and it doubled in fps, I’m hoping to get a tad bit more still. I hope this helps someone make a decision. Happy gaming!

My son loves his rog it's like having a snap computer in hand

SD card broken but good performance after messing with settings. Windows is good for support but the steam deck track pads and capacitive touch with gyro is missed. Back paddles are just alright and take some getting used to for effective usage.

Absolutely amazing product. I was a little skeptical about buying refurbished. But the item I received was in brand new condition and works flawlessly. Zero signs of wear. I saw some negative reviews for this seller. But I can assure you that it wasn't an issue with the one sent to me. I will buy another one from this seller. Asus ROG Ally is so much fun and performing better than most modern gaming pc's could. This is a handheld gaming pc with windows 11. It's perfect for daily gaming or on the go. Battery life is the only issue. That's an ASUS issue, not the seller.
