Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great little mobile gaming device that can be stand alone PC when you need it. Just know that you need to alter game settings to have a smooth expierence, but even then the games still look fantastic. Games I've played so far Cyberpunk 5/5, Chivalry 5/5, Starfield 3/5 (They're still ironing out some kinks), Baldur's Gate 3 2/5 (There are some setting to tweak, but imo it's does not play well and looks like PS2 Graphics), GTA V 5/5, Payday 5/5, and more. I travel extensively for work and some situations a standard gaming laptop is not viable in the passenger seat of car or plane. The only issue I have is battery life, but you want to be plugged in to take advantage of turbo mode. I do reccomend a stylus and a protective screen if you have giant hands. The fans arent too noticeable, but they're audible when gaming in bed in the evening. I really enjoy watching movies and series on it and packed with an SD card or expanded SSD it is nice. Definitely invest in a docking station to game on larger screens.

Great for casual gaming and as a handheld pc. Can easily use steam and other launchers. Looks and feel more premium than steam deck. Two minor issues i had: squeaky triggers and low quality when playing aaa games. Casual gand retro gamer will have an amazing experience!

Powerful, compact, and large enough to play Retro, PC, and Emulators comfortably. The ally balanced the Power and Price, yes you can get a slightly faster machine for way more or a slow 720p for less. This hit the sweet spot.

I have loved my ROG Ally and being able to play games everywhere in my house. It plays most of my games very well. It is also a great Nintendo Switch replacement with my emulated games. I did have an issue with the SD card reader, but ASUS was quick to RMA and fix the issue.

Plays csgo and Kerbal fine, I got a wireless keyboard and mouse for mine. I use it in my work truck while on site.

A pleasant surprise, works really well, and plays all my games without any challenges so far with very high responsiveness in high detailed modes. Light weight so easy to hold and play for couple of hours. Pretty good first attempt for a handheld PC

Very nice portable Diablo 4 box. Plays everything I own within reason. There are SD card reader issues; however with the ease of upgrading the NVME drive I don't use the reader anyways. So far updates after purchase have been fairly regular.

It’s fun and runs things surprisingly well when plugged into power on handheld it struggles when not in turbo mode but that does drain the battery pretty quickly. I did get it open box and had no problems at all it does everything I want it to do

This is a great gaming hand held! Works and runs smoother than I ever thought. One down side is the battery does not last very long. But overall a great alternative to a PC

Best part of this device is the screen. Super vibrant and contrast ratio is much better than my Steam Deck with a lot less backlight glow (though still wish it could have been OLED.) As far as power, this thing does magic for a handheld. Haven't had any issues running the games I want to play with decent framerates. My main issue is the ASUS software. Armory Crate is just really buggy. Often times in the quick menu, options will just completely freeze up and not work. I don't think the FPS limiter works at all. It makes doing any minor adjustments a bit of a pain. Hopefully, just like Valve, ASUS will continue to support this product with software updates to make it something truly special.

I'm sure many of the reviews are bringing up hardware problems. I've had none. My purchase is still working perfectly after about a month. I do believe many of the issues are from people that aren't familiar with Windows. They likely did not run on the updates on the software and drivers and became frustrated with performance because of that. It's not a console. It's a laptop in a handheld format. It requires software updates just like any other computer. I'm sure there are people with legitimate issues, but I've had none. I purchased the Ally as an upgrade from the Steam Deck. The 1080p, paired with the fast CPU and GPU makes it a far better choice for me. The screen alone is worth the upgrade. The Ally running on Windows allows you to install any launcher (not just Steam) without issues. You could do the same on the Steam Deck, but it basically required you to install a 3rd party launcher to launch your other launchers. Always seemed ridiculous to me. Basically, know that it's just a laptop in a different format. If you are comfortable with that and the Windows OS, you'll love it.

Amazing product, I'm writing this review extremely late (1 year late) but it just works it's has been my main gaming device since I bought and I don't regret it. Powerful, Slick and easy to use

Much better than my steamdeck as far as usability. Plays more games, but the micro sd design is so flaw and can fry a micro sd within a week. Upgrading the internal 2230 ssd was easy!

This rogue ally is a beast of a handheld console my first ever and I love it. I had a PS portal and it was completely trash and who wants to play games over Wi-Fi, rog I can take it with me to work on trips play games off-line. I love it graphics or amazing.

First, yes. The battery life isn't great. But the thing pulls power, and has something to show for it! Its been a wonderful device to have around for quick easy gaming in a pinch, and with a usbc dock it even does well as a mobile workstation with portable peripherals! I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Doesn’t work the best when unplugged. Glitches over to different websites that I’m not personally touching to do. Mic quality is only good through discord not Xbox. But love playing on it.

Really happy with it so far. It’s really not as hard to use as some people say and so far has played the AAA games I’ve tried to play very well. Battery life is my only real issue, I’ve been playing persona 3 reload and it lasts for about 1.15 hours.

ASUS ROG Ally is definitely a contender for one of the best windows handhelds. It performs great and has an absolutely beautiful screen. Now windows just needs to optimize its platform for handheld gaming.

Overall great graphics and great gameplay but like most users of the platform my sd card reader has problems within the first month hope they will fix this problem with future devices.

Was looking into buying a handheld. Saw online that here was the only place ti aquire this and once in my hand best graphics , easy to use , and once the updates its required to have at first . Best on the market . Only downside is the battery but other then that simply wow a must buy
