Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is AWESOME! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Anything you can do on a PC you can do on here. Nice smooth 120hz screen. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a good handheld windows based gaming application this is it. I’ve been able to run triple A titles on it with no issues at all. The support from asus and the community to get games to run well and do other functions with it is just a google search away. I was able to play Forza Motorsport sport around 50fps on low to medium for 2 hours on a plane ride. It also has micro sd slot and you can take the back off and get more m.2 storage.

Love this! My wife and I had been gaming on the Nintendo switch for about 2 years. Handhelds is our preference because it allows for us to game with our little one, and we can all sit together. Highly recommend the Rog Ally if you are interested in handheld gaming. This is miles ahead of the switch, and with windows 11 we can play many more games. I have used the Ally for projects outside of gaming, and have had no issues. LinkedIn and Microsoft office both work wonderfully. Hope this helps anyone who is questioning this purchase.

I will lead with my final appraisal of this device while it was working as that feels more fair than just the bad end result of my purchase. After several hours uninstalling, updating, tweeking, learning, and then finally gaming I loved the Ally. I pulled down a consistent 90+ fps in Diablo 4 with some of the settings maxed but most low or off. No heat issues, no lag, no stutter. Ran well and is more than acceptable for a portable PC gaming experience. Marauders would always crash after a few seconds in the menus, Rocket League played well with no issues, Hell Let Loose seemed serviceable and looked fine to me with no crazy FPS dips or tearing. All in all the devoce is more than a solid portable gmaing option. At the price point and with the AMD eGPU total cost gets up to a gaming laptops. Whether a laptop is a better fit for you than this device is up to you? I wouod say that if the Ally has an inch or 2 more of screen real-estate I'd be in love. Heck its probaly not too hard to get a 3D printed mount for a ln iPad or tablet to sit ontop of the Ally and still hold the controller part behind it to game on a nicer bigger screen? Idk. Gotta return mine unfortunately. 1st impression was that I was returning the Ally because it didnt meet my expectations off the rip. Fast forward about 8 hours of hands on playing and tweeking while connected to the supplied power source in a 65° AC with the onboard fans wide open. I get an error message while playing Diablo at 1080p that says I "ran out of memory." It forces a restart and thwn my device simply never powers back on. No leds when plugged in or docked, non when not. No button combination forces a reboot or anything. Just a brick now. There are non in stock within an hour+ of me and the Best Buy I shop at is already 45 minutes away. Also the storage is lacking. The SD slot did work with no issues for me but is an outdated medium if you ask me.

Great competition for any other handhelds out there. Great battery, great frame rate, great graphics!

This is a great handheld PC! My time with it has been near flawless outside of the battery life but a battery pack or dock fixes that easily. I'd recommend this to anyone whos looking for a handheld system with tons of flexibility.

Works like a charm, but needs additional battery bank that is not hard to find, because battery holds for about 1 hour of continues play. Small and powerful, perfect idea for travel.

Amazing product for gaming on the go I suggest buying some spare memory for this product because you will use up the stock memory fast

Love this little monster! I was finding myself getting more and more into emulation, but I wanted to take my Steam experience away from the desk too. The couch, bed, you know, the Switch life, but PC master race style. Any of the negative talking points to the Ally are mostly subjective and speak to how the user intends to care for their tech. I purchased a dock for my TV that supports turbo 30w and extra I/O. All that flexibility, and I don't have to pack my "laptop bag" when I travel. Got it open-boxed at a great price. Win, win, win.

I've been gaming since I was four and a half years old I'm now 40 and I would say that this is probably one of the coolest most powerful consoles that's in your hands that I've ever had. Some reviews will knock it but they are extremely hard this console kicks rear and is extremely powerful and if you can somehow afford the XG mobile you will have some god tier gaming performance that you can bring over to a party and play your favorite games

In my opinion it's better than steam deck. Because in asus I can play the Xbox games. And the screens are a little bigger and the only bad thing is that the battery runs out very quickly.

Very good device. Needs a better batttery. Powerful handheld, stunning display, versatile gaming on-the-go.

Love this thing. it has definitely been one of my best purchases. I bought the asus adapter from best buy also and together I have a gaming pc and regular computer for regular tasks. Love this thing.

This device will allow you to game anywhere. It is able to go from being a powerhouse handheld to a desktop (with the eGPU) teir performance. Try it out.

Way better than steam deck. Every game i want to play i play it without having to do a bunch of stuff to make it work. It just works!

Sure, there's some updates and setup needed out of the box (it is a PC, so that was expected), but that all went rather smoothly. It feels good in the hands, control layout is great, and the screen is just amazing. I installed a new 2tb ssd upgrade. This was also very easy to do. Asus has how-to videos online, just make sure to update everything thru the MyAsus app first. Then you can use the automated cloud recovery to reinstall everything. I also own a Steam Deck but this will be my new go-to when I wanna do some handheld gaming.

I went in thinking that this thing is going to stink. But I realize that its not that bad at all. I was terrified that my sd card reader was going die, never did. It plays all my games with great performance. I took one star away because of all the sd readers that died. But fingers crossed that mine doesn't die. My best advice is if you know nothing about windows dont buy it but if you had a laptop in the past you will feel quite at home with this one.

This device has been a definite blast!!! It’s been a great little gaming handheld and it has been extremely helpful for getting to and through my back catalogue of games. I highly recommend this device but only if you can get it on sale especially with the ally x right around the corner

easily best investmant I've made. It goes everywhere with me. Yes, the battery life could be better and the screen a little larger but it's been ideal.

Literally doubles the performance of the Steam Deck while doubling Image Quality, very good for the price! Add in a portable monitor, and you have a complete gamer laptop replacement
