Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love it serves my purposes well. Like having a handled laptop. Only issue is battery life but gaming laptops batteries are most as bad. The Ally has multiple different battery saving options. I would recommend it over any the steam deck, msi, or the Lenovo version.

One of the best handheld gaming PCs available. Top 3. Although it’s not plug and play like the switch it does have some advantages over it. You get a full windows handheld PC in which you can install emulators and play basically any game you want. Just takes a little tinkering.

Definitely worth the purchase. Better resolution, refresh rate, wider game compatibility. Expect about a couple of hours to update and get everything set up the way you like it. I've tested this with the XG mobile with a 3080 (overkill, I know). This machine is versatile and can work as a desktop replacement. With ASUS constantly working on updates and bug fixes expect this to be your travel gaming system for a long time.

As long as you follow the instructions from ASUS about updating drivers, this thing runs like dream. It's literally like having a portable Xbox/PlayStation. I've run the absolute gambit against it, from Magic Arena, to Halo Infinite, and Starfield this thing eats it up. The 3D sound is crisp, loud and truly a MUST have experience that makes the games feel that much more immersive.

Been waiting for this device for sometime after using the SteamDeck for roughly a year and a bit disappointed. Design: 4/5; its a beautiful device and love the button placement on the front, however, the buttons on the back are a bit awkward and can be accidentally hit. Ergonomics: 2/5; This is where the disappointment begins, I saw that ROG went through multiple different molds to find the best one and the grips on this device do not stick out enough to make it comfortable. Don't get me wrong, its light in the hands but holding for long periods of time just does not feel comfortable Software: a few issues that degraded performance after bios updates but it will be fixed overtime so I'm not going to rate this portion BUT there are some issues. Overall, its a step in the right direction but not the flawless execution that many waited around for and was expecting. This would be a 5/5 if the grips were done correct.

I really love this handheld. I've played a large variety of games and the quality is amazing. Very few crashes, but I'd suspect the ones that occur are from the games (Starfield). 4 stars because I like to play on the top performance mode and I have to keep it plugged in.

Very impressed on how good this runs AAA titles. If you want max frames getting the XG Mobile egpu is the way to go. But, if you dont mind 50-90 fps on some games its perfect. Im definitely happy with the purchase, very impressed. Only reason its bot 5 star for ne is cause of the frames.

Great Product. I can play all the games anywhere I want. I recommend this product.

I bought this so i can have an alternative to the stram deck if i want to play some windows based videogames. And its been surprisingly a very good experience so far! I had a few hiccups when i was doing the out of box setup with windows and the fingerprint scanner being weird but other than that its a very strong handheld pc!

Very interesting device, but ended up returning. Had issues with SD card working properly. Battery also wasn't great. If I'm going to have to keep it plugged in, I might as well use my gaming desktop. I believe after a few updates, this could be a great device.

So far so good, just dont put in a micro SD card in that bad boy/girl just yet due to it frying it. Love how easy it is to upgrade the storage and overall i really like it enough to gifted my steam deck out ( wife made me ) since my wife got me this for my birthday extra accessories included with the birthday package ^_^d *yay*

Did my SD card reader fail? Yes. Do I care? Not really! I was able to swap in a 2240 SSD into this thing (with instructions from Asus!) and have been PC gaming for the first time in years. I have played all sorts of games on this thing, from AAA titles, to emulators, to indie hits on steam I can't get on my consoles. And, PC Gamepass on this thing is a game changer. I love it.

Excellent hand held gaming device when im on the go. It has the power of a PC and portability thats better than a laptop. I love this for when i have some time before classes when im bored. The overheating problem isnt too bad either. Overall great console.

I’ve been loving my Ally since I got it. The screen is absolutely beautiful and it’s powerful.

The best hand held gaming system! Absolutely love this for gaming. I have both an Xbox and PS5 but since I got this I stopped playing those. BUT the new Asus ROG ALLY X is coming out in JULY 2024 so if you are reading this please take that in consideration. The new one has way better specs.

Right now one of the best windows handheld. It was quiet before the update but still the quietest windows handheld by far. Not the best ergonomics but not the worst. The textured plastic helps your grip, but it feels cheap. You can't compare this to a steam deck when you think about this 1080p screen and the power to match.

I've never been much of a PC gamer as I've been intimated by building my own rig. I've wanted to buy a Steam Deck but most of the games I want to play are Windows only and this handheld PC fits my need. Very powerful for a portable and quite intuitive as far as accessing games library because of Asus Armory Crate. I'm sure the experience will only get better at more updates and optimizations are created for this platform.

Perfect to go gaming. By far the most advanced handheld i purchased.

This is great if you’re looking for a handheld with a full windows operating system. If you’re looking for just a gaming handheld there’s better options. The battery life on the ally is poor and it gets really hot.

Its great i get to play some of my pc games on the go!
