Customer Ratings & Reviews

Honestly a pretty solid little gaming handheld. There are issues that ive seen other people have but personally i havent. I also havent dropped mine. I recommend one if you want something on the go, something you can put on a dock in a different room, or if you wanna spend more time around family without being d a desk.

This handheld is awesome l, my inly complaints are the dead zones in the joy sticks thay took some tweaking to get right and the storage is really low, other than that it can play all aaa games in medium settings, this console shines with older games lkne cod zombies black ops 2 or 3 runs those games max settings smooth.

Got it a little late but only by a day or two of release. Out of the box had to reset because armory crate would not load. After windows reset everything was working fine. Assassin Creed Chronicle crashed system but looked it up and it’s a game issue. Watchdog two runs fine and AC Odyssey bench ran fine. Steam games ran fine. My only issue is low storage.

Compact and powerful enough for lots a good games, great option if you travel or need it on the go… just don’t expect it to be a full blown gaming pc, it does have its limitations, especially batery life if you push it to turbo mode.

So this thing is crazy!! Its NOT, REPEAT NOT stream lined like the deck(own both) to be console like. This is a gaming laptop with contollers attached. It does have ita issues but so far I have none that are major and easily fixed. In the end so far...worth every dang cent! Grab yours if higher end AAA games are what you want to play without limits

Pretty solid device, battery could be better but it does play any game you can think of very well.

Love this thin, my wife also uses it and enjoys the heck out of it. Fair warning though, battery life isn’t great no matter how you run it. Runs gamepass stuff without an issue, ran remnent 2 and it runs pretty good overall. It’s not going to be running it in high settings but for a current console game to run at 60fps with some tweaking of the settings, can’t complain all in all.

I was debating between this and the Steam Deck and ultimately decided on this due to the colors, brightness, and resolution. I have since used both and am able to say that this is better than the steam deck in most regards. It is a little more expensive but definitely worth it if you don't want the track pads the steam deck has. That is the only factor the steam deck wins at comparing the two.

Bought this when my pre-order for a lenovo legion go got back ordered and I dont regret it one bit. Powerful enough to run most modern games well. Only 2 drawbacks are that the hard drive isn’t that big (upgraded mine to 1tb), and the rog allys have issues with the SD card reader causing them to fail.

I love it. Its powerful beautiful screen. I love that its portable and yet still powerful. Its great

This thing is awesome as long as you understand its limitations. I can play all of my games on it just don't expect 60 fps high settings. First thing is make sure you get all of the updates, YouTube is your friend please watch all the tutorials you can on setting it up my favorites are videos from RetroGame Corp and ETA Prime. Once you have it all setup and games downloaded please use Google to find the best settings per game.

To start off i have had 2 units, the first one killed a brand new 1tb A2 card from Silicon Power(brand) ordered from amazon. The first one would also put the screen in a sleep state that the units screen wouldnt wake from, i could hear the sounds from the games but the screen wouldnt turn back on. Unit 2 has been mostly ok but in the case no pressure on it or anything the entire analog stick cap came off and would not go back on, the only way is to replace it internally. STILL I would like to say as far as gaming power and capability all in all when all is working THIS IS THE BEST GAMING EXPERIENCE EVER even over all of my other more powerful systems, it has the best sound ever in a handheld,best screen quality,the hi def vibration is great, and when you put all of those things together you get a sense filled experience while gaming, that said, I have large hands and the ergonomics could use some work on the next iteration. It feels ok but not great in my opinion.

I did return this since I was able to get the legion Go open box for a $110 less than the original price. But yea…. After updating and some tweaking it was working well. Control game ran with 60+ FPS at 720p with medium settings easily I barely heard the fan go off. It can go up to 1080P but not every game will run at this setting…. The ROG ally software doesn’t compare to the steam deck but I do like it better than the legion go for now. Battery is what you would expect from this type of handheld…. Not very good so keep a Powerbank with you. Sound is the best compared to the legion go and steam deck and I do mean way better!! So if you’re planning on getting one this would be a great time…. Open box items are close to $150 off. Just manage ur expectations though and you will enjoy this wonderful piece of gaming device.

Best handheld gaming device! Does well with all launchers and runs games with perfection!

It’sa better machine when you install bazzite and turn it into a stream only machine. Better performance and battery life. And I’m buying this ROG Ally Z1 extreme for *$469!!!!! B-)

Runs everything very well for a portable computer. A storage upgrade is a must but the internal SSD was very easy to replace and many of the components are modular if one wears out or gets damaged. Overall a very solid device.

Run game the a champ. Got a fair openbox but turned out to be like new to me. Battery last 1-1:30 hour with 15- 20W mode. Been playing Spiderman medium/ high setting (no RT) with 70-80 FPS. A nice device to playthrough the backlog

What an amazing little device. Running AAA games at 30-60 fps is impressive. If youre familiar with windows customization is robust to tune settings. The only con is a physics problem. The battery life isnt great on this, and a battery bank is a must. A heavier battery in the device would be too uncomfortable.

I was looking for a handheld PC to play Diablo 4 and it came down to the ROG Ally or the SteamDeck with workaround. The price point of the ROG Ally was comparable to the SteamDeck with 512gb, so I had to decide if the $50 price difference was worth it. After watching and reading a lot of reviews comparing the two, I decided to give the ROG Ally a try. Having used Windows 11 and having set up multiple PCs with this OS, I felt like I could troubleshoot some of the issues discussed in the reviews. The few issues that kept appearing in reviews (i.e. microSD card corruption, FPS performance at 15W, etc.) were supposedly addressed in recent firmware and BIOS updates. First thing I did as soon as I booted up the ROG Ally was perform these updates before attempting to game on the device, and I believe this addressed most of the performance issues others experienced at launch. I was able to download and install battle.net and Diablo 4 pretty easily and was able to get sustained 60fps while plugged in and using Turbo Mode. So far, I’ve put about 7-8 hrs on D4 both plugged in and on battery and have enjoyed the experience. Coming from mouse and keyboard on a gaming PC with 144fps to the ROG Ally took a little getting used to, but after about an hour I had no issues playing the game using the ROG Ally controller. I also tried partying up with some friends using the hotel Wi-Fi and was able to run dungeons for a couple of hours without any disconnections or significant lag. Overall, I’m pretty happy with my purchase and will update my review after I’ve put in more hours on the ROG Ally!

The Asus ROG Ally is great though it may not fit your needs. Pros - Windows 11 - Comfortable Design - Runs most games with no issues - Beautiful screen - Quality build - Good customization/power profiles Cons - Windows 11 - Very limited battery life - No good carry case available Meh - Asus launcher software - functional but could be better
