Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ever since I saw a tiny handheld PC running Windows 95 in a magazine as a kid, I have wanted a portable device with the flexibility of a PC and the gaming focused features of a console. The ROG Ally with the Z1 Extreme processor is exactly what I hoped it would be. The shortcomings are fairly minor. The biggest one is that you will want a keyboard and mouse ar some point. The battery life is limited, but it is manageable. The internal storage is limited, but it can be expanded. Probably my most unexpected use for the Ally is to use it to play PC indie games at 120 frames per second on my TV like a console.

This product is wonderful. From a gamer that likes to game freely no matter the circumstance, the ROG Ally is a must. The ROG Ally creates unlimited possibility. Full set-up, on-the-go, on the couch while watching a movie, on a camping trip, etc. The possibilities of gaming are limited only to your lifestyle & creativity.

This is very nice, great graphics but low batt life. Would recommend if you’re into less demanding games because battery life when running more demanding games seems to deteriorate quickly.

Comes as a portable gaming system that runs all PC games bear in mind you have to tweet some of the game but it works wish it was more battery life but portable batteries have to do.

Does exactly what I want it to. I wanted to play pc games while lounging on a sofa. It runs quiet and is powerful enough to play the games I want to play.

This product it’s Amazing! You can play games wherever you want, don’t need to get plug in a wall because its portable and light to bring it, this game console is the best buy in Best Buy thanks to the great price here!

I wasn't sure if I was even going to keep this when I ordered it, but after setting it up and playing some games on it, I was sold. I love this little device. I mostly keep it hooked up to my LG C1 and play with an Xbox controller, but it's just as impressive handheld. I'm genuinely surprised at just how much power this little guy has, running most games at medium settings at 1080p, but even running some at high. I honestly play on my Ally more than I play on my PC at this point. Can't recommend it enough!

Think of it this way: The Steam Deck and Switch are automatic cars. The ROG Ally is a 6 Speed super sport car. The ROG Ally plays AAA games that look beautiful in your hand. The fact that it runs on Windows 11, some games require some minor tweaking and still run fantastic. It is also a retro gaming beast! I've tested retroarch, mame, yuzu, and others to just name a few and all ran flawlessly. You can get decent FPS from anything you currently throw at it. The screen is sharp, beautiful and visuals are stunning. Again I say. This is not just a console. It is a mini gaming computer. Some knowledge of Windows 11 is definitely needed.

Only knock on this is battery life, but hopefully that is improved through updates in the future. Being able to have a handheld gaming PC to take anywhere is awesome.

Wow Wow Wow. This is the best travel companion I have. Full blown laptop power and plays steam games like Starfield at console frame rates. Just buy it already

Exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend this product. Works flawlessly and is able to run more games that I expected.

I still cant believe I own a ROG ALLY this machine is a fully capable handheld windows PC with higher gaming specs then a current gen series s console but is totally compatible with Xbox game pass & cloud gaming, from all the big names in cloud gaming to reto emulators all the way to the top AAA games out today on current gen consoles. I have to tell you like I tell my friends this handheld is a BEAST!!!

I collect handhelds and this is my favorite, powerful lite(for its size), runs cool, beautiful screen. Really happy with this handheld and how quickly it arrived at my home.

Man i love this thing - lots of updates like a PC but once up and running its amazing!! Native Game Pass, Steam, everyrjing runs great - and the screen and sound yes please!!

Absolutely everything I was looking for. The battery isn’t the greatest, but I stay close to an outlet most of the time anyways.

I Love it! It's basically a handheld laptop. But unlike all the others out there Asus will continue to push updates and support fixing old problems and addressing new ones. You don't really get that with the other indiegogo or crowd funded devices. The built in Armorcrate and easy to use tweaking controls are amazing, My one and only complaint is battery life, but when using top of the line components you should expect some parts to have to catch up with a little time. Also thank you Best Buy for your $60 a month for 12 months plan. It made it much easier to afford such a great gift for my Sons birthday.

My experience with the Ally has been fantastic! One thing to keep in mind is this is a device running full on windows. Its not a switch where you turn on put in a game and go. Driver, firmware, software updates are a must! Initial setup, before installing a game can take up to 2 hours making sure everything is updated but after this things run buttery smooth. Taking advantage of AMD RSR is a huge plus! If you're not familiar with PC gaming you may need to be more patient with launching and various other tasks that aren't needed for traditional consoles. This thing is awesome though and should be given a fair realistic shot.

The ROG Ally is a great handheld gaming device. It can run many triple A titles at lowest settings. Black Ops 6 is able to run 1080P 60fps. Battery life could be better though.

Its the best wau to play pc games on the go. Its also really good if you need to do some quick web browsing or even play games docked at home better than a laptop by a mile

A lot of the big tech review youtube and/or tiktok pages are very misleading. This device is 100% worth buying, especially when taking advantage of the open-box deals. Runs games smoother than the steam deck and with windows 10 integrated, it will only to continue to outperform it’s competitors. The early release kinks will be worked out by ASUS. Definitely recommend buying this device if you’re an experienced PC gamer and tech junkie. I haven’t put it down since I got it and my PC misses me.
