Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my absolute favorite new tech gaming device. I have a PS5 and have not been able to play PC games for years due to having a family. This device now allows me to play both PC titles *and console titles...and being able to do it all MOBILE? I mean, come on. This thing is a powerhouse gaming PC that I can dock to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard anytime I want to use it as a PC or to more easily download or configure it. But when it comes to gaming, hand-held all the way! I really do love this thing. Only BIG advice to any prospective owner is download the software called 'StarAllBack' to change the terrible Windows 11 interfaces back to Windows 10 styling. Besides that? This thing is 10X worth its wait in gold! As far as accessories: Yes, I do think you should purchase a larger HDD to fit more games. Get yourself a 2TB HDD. There's more and more cases as well, which I do also recommend. Also recommend getting a 'dock' so you can use it as a desktop PC or plug into your TV more easily.

I was actually surprised how well this runs games, I have played pretty straining games and it runs great. Speakers are good quality and can get loud. Doesnt get too hot while playing and the fans are quiet. Screen is very vibrant. All around great product.

Light, portable, good looking with a built in finger print reader and excellent screen. However, the well known Micro SD overheating issue along with my unit frequently freezing made me return mine.

Plays great. Way, WAY more power thans Steam Deck. Battery life is poor but no worse than Deck in reality. Being able to use Game Pass, Epic, and other stores without any hoops is a great feature. All-in-all a great device especially for the money.

Bought this as a gift. It’s great as long as you keep in mind that this is a tablet with a controller strapped to it. Runs games well but battery life is short off of charge.

This device is awesome, it’s light weight and very capable of handling everything that you throw at it.

I absolutely love my ROG Ally. I have ot and a steamdeck but i find myself going to my ally every singe time i go to play something at work or on the go. I carry both with me but the ally just looks and plays games so much better not to mention it does everything any other pc could do. It really is a pocket pc running on windows 11

Very great handheld, when you’re connected, it turns into a beast

Gamer of 35 years here, and former gaming PC seller of 8 years. Easily one of the best handhelds out there, and I've compared them all. Depending on the model you are looking at (the X is the go to if you want the best), for the price points here you're just going to have the overall best gaming handheld you can get. Now with all the OS/BIOS updates being smoothed out, it runs like a dream and if you know how to navigate Win11, you're going to be just fine. The docking potential is amazing but in handheld mode, the 1080p 120hz is just untouchable. Speakers are incredible, it's comfy, light, and you can customize the entire control scheme and switch it on the fly.

Very good runs most games and havent had any problems what so ever. Controls are pretty easy sometimes you need to do some key binds but other than that super simple. Battery does die pretty quick if you have all the settings turned all the way up but I just keep mine plugged in

This thing is great. It plays most every game real well, it feels really comfortable in your hands, I've been extremely happy with it. Biggest downside is the battery. Playing it on the max settings, you might be lucky to get 90 minutes on the battery. Much more on the lower operation modes, but be prepared to charge.

I liked it at first. I want to like it but the battery life is terrible, it's not great and has stutters, it's lacking in places I assume newer models are more well rounded. I sold mine after having it 7 months

Amazing product, I'm writing this review extremely late (1 year late) but it just works it's has been my main gaming device since I bought and I don't regret it. Powerful, Slick and easy to use

I been reading reviews with many getting flustered over setup, however this is legit the easiest setup you can ask for. The drivers, software, and information is all laid out for you and they even preinstalled Steam! You can download EPIC, Ubisoft, and EA if you so desire and start downloading and playing your games. For those looking to play retro games then check out Launchbox. The ergonomics and weight completly destroy the chunky boy that is the Steam Deck. The screen is unbelievable, I seriously cant understand how Valve got away with putting such a low quality display in the Steam Deck. Buttons are legit perfection and quiet for late night gaming. SSD is super replaceable and I put a 2TB in this!!! I feel like valve fanboys are reviewing this…

Despite the sd card issue, the device runs great and is extremely fun. Got me back into gaming. Easy to use and portable even for its size. Have a 2 yr old and gaming has been hard but this has allowed me to game with the little time available. Recommend

I'm surprised at how great the ROG Ally plays games. The included 3 month game pass ultimate ensures you'll have games to play before you decide what games you'll want to spend money on. Battery life is a bit short depending on game but it charges pretty fast even while actively playing.

This is not a handheld gaming device. This is a powerful handheld device that plays games. With Windows 11 and Office 365 cloud sync, I leave my laptop on my desk grab this and I can work then game, game then work u get the picture. I work in IT security and use both Mac and Windows along with my tools these laptops makes my bag very heavy then the power brick for the gaming laptop easily over 25lbs. I grabbed this my backpack feels like air now. If you are a bit on the Geek Squad of things. (Shameless plug lol) I have a Doc that allows full 30 honestly this can take over as a daily driver. I render a video faster on the Ally than my Mac Book Pro. Crazy!!!

pretty good. not the best battery life but good quality.

The was the best purchase I could make. I can take my gaming on the go as well as my work. The games are smooth and there are plenty of options. Windows works as well as my PC so I can literally take this anywhere.

Ive been using this for a good week now and i gotta say I absolutely lovw this thing. Ive had no issues with it at all. Plays my games great but i havent played every game so be warned. I was on the fence about getting a SteamDeck and I saw this was announced so I thought id wait and take a risk and boy am I pleased. I already loded all my games and emulators on this guy and Im happy I went this route. Other than my nintendo switch this is my first handheld pc and I am completely satisfied. If youre like me and are new to this area you wont be disappointed with this device. Some games will need adjusting but unless you have a beast mode PC you might already be use to that. If you dont have a gaming pc already youll be learning how to adjust settings which isnt that hard but watch a youtube video or two and youll be just fine. This is my go to travel companion now and I leave my switch at home. I fly frequently across the US so I have alot of time at the airport to play. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into the handheld arena. I havent tried a steam deck but I prefer the full windows on my device. No issues and is updated frequently.
