Customer Ratings & Reviews

Look im am a gamer to the core, I own everything, but recently I've been getting tired of having to switch back and forth between playstation and xbox and my laptop. I love the games on all my systems and I just want something i can play them all on easley. This solves that for me. All for the price of one console, and i can play whatever i want at home on my tv or out on the go. Definitely worth no problems easy setup just like a normal PC.

Awesome little device. Everything works great. Battery life is lacking but I guess every battery is.

Amazing! Super powerful handheld. I’m a ROG fan so this product definitely meets the expectations of anyone who uses ASUS ROG products. For transparency, I also have the Steam Deck Oled (Limited Edition) and I highly prefer the Z1 Extreme Ally anytime I want to get some game time. The Oled Deck is lighter and the platform offers a console-like however, the SteamOS just lacks the compatibility Windows 11 and features that aren’t matched (unless you’re somewhat versed in dev). The only let downs I have with the ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is that it 1/2TB isn’t a spec that’s offered and also, the product was supposed to include a 3 month trial for PC Game Pass but I didn’t get one. This is probably because I purchased it Open Box from BestBuy. Aside from these, I LOVE this handheld and highly recommend to anyone in the market but undecided between the various options out there. If you do get one, I recommend grabbing a 2TB m.2 nvme ssd and run a debloat program to remove the pre-installed apps/programs that run in the background eating up memory.

I love it! Had to return first one as I preordered and got very first batch. But second one is working great minus a tiny clicking noise in right joystick! Performance is better than steam deck, I willl make a warranty claim later down the road for the clicking sound or replace the joystick myself. THIS IS A PC! Not a console. You will have to play around with settings and stuff to get them where you want for frames per second etc!

It takes a bit to get used to which games feel like the right games to play (typically action-adventure; then-based is also good but you don’t want to try anything made for mouse and keyboard) you can also install a Steam-like OS and swap out the NVme SDD if you look it up on YouTube for more space than they are willing to offer at retail. Or wait for the Xbox version, but honestly; there probably won’t be much difference.

Im a steam deck ower and was looking for something better. this ROG alley has over shadowed my expectations . I have the Z1 extreme and im overcome with excitement with the way it runs smooth with AAA games with no issues … if you want your bang for your buck, definitely get the $699 one you will not be disappointed. On a scale from 1 to 10 definitely a 10’in my book

I love the only thing I dont like is the battery life is to short but the product itself is perfect

Runs smooth under power with AAA titles. Buttons feel good and the device isnt to heavy

Perfect handheld gaming pc! Just with the battery lasted longer, gets barely an hour on turbo mode with some games.

Great console, awesome performance. i wish they would’ve done better on the battery.

Amazing device, very light, it's not loud at all and the performance is great.

This has been a very good product and a good deal from Best Buy. I am well satisfied with this product and purchase and would recommend it to any gamer out there

It’s good. The screen resolution is amazing . I truly enjoy my games on this. Only thing I have an issue with is how hot it can get and the battery life.

Own steam deck, legion go, and tog ally. Hands down the smoothest out of them all.

I personally own two rog ally z1 extreme and one rog ally z1 models and there great especially for the low price they are at now

The item was essentially like new! I was surprised to see every item in the box and the device working as it should. I’m absolutely obsessed with my ASUS ROG and even happier that Best Buy offered a fantastic open box device.

This thing is amazing. I have this and the steam deck and let me tell you this thing blows that out of the water.  It can play Diablo 4 on medium settings at 70-80 fps! I have also tried GTA 5, rdr2 and Cyberpunk. You really can play any game as long as it supports controllers, but at the same time you can hook this up to a monitor,keyboard and mouse, and treat it like a gaming PC if you wanted. The possibilities are endless!

So far so good, 2 months in. Be weary it gets hot when you crank it up to maximum. People say the updates mess things up with the games but also be weary that alot of factors play into it as well. So far zero issues. Card reader works which seems like that rare.

I've lost my husband to it! He is obsessed, he plays it all day and late into the night. It works better than my desktop, the graphics are good, and its versitile, basically the best option for anyone looking for a even more portable laptop. Im gonna need to get one for myself when the desktop breaks. It really feels like the future of gaming. The device is great 10/10, I just miss my husband is all!

To keep it short and straight to the point, the Asus ROG Ally is an overall fantastic PC handheld device that comes with the compromises of a first-generation iteration. You will be able to play most of your favorite PC games on the go, you'll no longer be limited to a desk or carrying a gaming laptop around. Setting up the ROG Ally is going to take effort, but if you are familiar with PC gaming you already are used to it.
