Customer Ratings & Reviews

Way better sceeen than the steam deck, way better color accuract, saturation and contrast. Performance is about 20% better than the Steam Deck at the same 15W power usage. The software side is still a bit buggy but shiild improve overtime

I bought both steam deck oled and this one. I highly recommend steamdeck. Screen was amazing. But battery was not so good.

Excellent 100% satisfied amazing bought as a open box item

The best purchase that I made, stunning screen and controls, just the battery drains quickly with AAA games

So far, I've had a blast playing games on the go with the ROG ALLY. The storage is deceiving for how well it runs, and when it comes to the gameplay and comfortability in game, I enjoy playing all sorts of genres like racing, RPG, Shooters and basic just drawing and graphics. 10/10 would recommend.

This device is awesome if youre into PCs. If your a console player this might not be the device for you as this can play games but do a whole lot more than that. Its pretty much having a gaming laptop but in a handheld portable form factor. I love that it runs windows out of the box and when add a mouse , keyboard, monitor, its a full on PC. Since this is a full on pc its not plug and play like a console or like steam deck or switch. This device is in a leavie of theor own Upgrades are coming daily to make this device run the best possible. The reason im not goving it 5 stars is that it cant run batocera for all my emulators when every single PC i own can, even a 10year old PC. They need to fox this asap and ill update thos reciew to 5 stars. switxh and sd. This device in its own league. I waasa

This handheld is amazing. It is basically a ps4 pro portable. The only issue is the sd card slot is defective due to the wrong position of it next to the heat fan.

Super powerful handheld! Love that it has full blown windows 11 on it. Plays Resident Evil Village, Borderlands 3, and Final Fantasy X and X-2 like a champ. Only complaint is the battery life, but thats not enough for me to rate it lower, i love the thing. Beats the heck out of the Steamdeck

It’s a portable computer. It can play games or you can dock and use it as a desktop. Wait until it’s on sale to get it for the best price. Other than that zero complaints. Average space, but most likely will need to utilize cloud playing when on WiFi.

I have truly enjoyed playing the Ally. It does come with some quirks, but largely it fits the type of gaming I've been looking for. I can play it anywhere, or attach to a dock and play like a console. It can play pretty much any game you throw at it, without losing too much in terms of quality.

Love it. Takes a bit to get everything set up but once it's working it works great. I have a pc but currently don't have much time to sit at it to game so this let's me game on the go.

Excellent device. I wanted a handheld device that is powerful, quiet, and has a great screen. The ROG Ally checks all the boxes. I can casually game in pretty much any environment and do not have to worry about the fans getting obnoxiously loud. If you set yourself up with realistic expectations, this device is great. With that being said, don’t expect to be able to play on battery for several hours at a time and don’t expect a console like software experience. Running a AAA game on battery in a handheld device with a 7 inch screen on low to medium settings is pretty impressive for the technology that’s available today. Even if it’s only for an hour or two. Also it’s a windows machine so you will need to download your gaming platforms manually and setup like a windows device, but that should be expected.

I love my ROG ally Z1 Extreme.... I also have the Lenovo Legion Go (Best BUY AND) The ROG ally X. I recommended this especially of you are trying get both plus the x and leave on docked to act as you're hone set up and use the x to travel with cause the micro sd works unfortunately the only gripe is that the Z1 Extreme Micro SD doesn't work but the internal memory can be upgraded. Check out my boy King Cato in youtube or kingcatothergamerfgc on tiktok he streams with all of em

Can play most games nicely but has some draw backs on those really pretty games. Early on my sdcard port was fried due to heating issue but I hear they’ve resolve that: wouldn’t know cuz my port is fried.

Its daily use with jobs, applications or videos works well for Windows 11, I recommend having a keyboard, mouse, and a monitor for more comfortable use. Only with games: It works perfectly, although the battery issue becomes a limitation, but when connected to the charger it can be used quite well.

Love my Ally, I enjoy the work needed to make this device suit me. I understand it is not plug and play for most things. Great machine, lots to do and fine tune. Lots to learn and tinker with. Runs my emulators easily and runs Diablo. Cons are the battery life, its not necessarily bad. I get about an hour ad a half playing Fallout New Vegas on High settings and in performance mode. For me that's about the time I have to play a game usually uninterrupted so this works. There aren't many accessories, it is a guessing game with 3rd party cases at the moment. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys the project of setting up a device and satisfaction of learning through trial and error. I wouldn't recommend it to someone coming from a home console expecting a similar experience.

This is a very capable gaming laptop shoved into very compact portable platform. It runs Windows 11 and all of my EA, Steam, and other games with ease. If you are looking for an ultra compact gaming platform that checks all the boxes, then order this today!

Really awesome device. Everything you could want in the palm of your hand.

This does everything the steam deck can do and more due to it being full windows 11, game performance has been great. The only problem is the horrible battery life, be prepared to carry a battery pack or just stay close to an outlet.

Great handheld device, was deciding between this and the steam deck. Glad I went with the Ally, I prefer the versatility versus being confined to steam games only. With the ally, you're able to use different launchers such as xbox games, EA, and ubisoft to name a few. Of course, since it does run Windows 11 the Ally does support Steam as well. Also appreciate being able to add memory with a micro SD card since the Ally only comes with 500GB and games nowadays can take up more than 50GB per install. Only issue is battery life but that's expected due to the power draw of trying to run the latest games. If you're looking to play more than an hour on battery then this may not be the right fit. I don't mind it since I'm usually near an outlet but I could see how it can be annoying since it defeats the purpose of it being portable.
