Customer Ratings & Reviews

I enjoy the size, portability and premium feel of this handheld pc gaming device. Asus has continually been pushing updates out to improve the software experience. After returning the Legion Go due to the shoddy software, the Ally is a much better device for gaming on the go.

As handhelds go I love it. I am an over the road truck driver and i play it every day. Graphics comparable to my newer xbox, great ergonomics, nice screen. I love it. Only conplaint is the low battery life but i play it plugged in 99 percent of the time so its no big deal.

The device definitely has some heating issues and sometimes has some performance problems, but with a few updates everything got fixed and the device works great

I love it! I bought it so I could take my sims with me without having to pack up my MSI laptop or my MacBook. This thing is amazing, just like a gaming computer but with the speed of my Apple products. Best of both worlds.

Amazing performance. Can play anything I throw at it. This is subjective, but I much prefer the ergonomics and buttons over the Steam Deck. Battery life sucks but it is to be expected from a device with a 40Wh battery than can reach over 40W of power usage in turbo mode. Would recommend to anyone that can actually use windows.

Great device! The only downside is being 512 gb Runs all the aaa games and good fps

This thing is amazing. It is everything you need it to be. It's a portable console, laptop home entertainment system all in one. I do a lot of flying and I love that I can take it with me and use it everywhere. I know the steam deck can do a lot of the same but the Ally is a portable PC. You won't regret buying one.

I game on this device every day. Best bang for your buck.

Personally i believe the Ally is superior to the Steam Deck in numerous ways. People that just want a gaminf console should probably grt the dexk, but people who want a portable gaming computer should defintely side with the Ally. The screen is so so much better and the better graphics processor is noticeably better as well

Doesn’t work the best when unplugged. Glitches over to different websites that I’m not personally touching to do. Mic quality is only good through discord not Xbox. But love playing on it.

I’ve been heavily enjoying the ally since receiving it. Playing anything I was anywhere is great! I know some people are complaining about windows but i haven’t had any problems personally. Just a tip for some, the back left button and up on the d-pad will pull up the keyboard. Back left button and down will bring up task manager.

I was always leary of getting the steam deck since at base it only interfaces with steam. Well this allows me to play everything from Steam, Game Pass and even DIABLO 4 out of the gate!! Battery life is NOT great even at 15w 1080P but i still love this thing and enjoy being able to play PC games on the go or even on my couch.

The performance doesn't disappoint.Powered by a robust set of internals, games run smoothly with impressive graphics, demonstrating that ASUS didn't compromise power for portability. The display offers vivid colors and sharp details, ensuring that every in-game moment is captured with clarity.

we’ve come a far away from things like the game boy when I was a kid. This device is just awesome! I was playing Forza last night really enjoying myself. Then I shut that down and I used it like a Windows device and checked my email and ran my favorite Windows apps for about an hour. Yes, this thing is a beast at playing games, but it also can be a productivity device which I enjoy. Yes there are cons that people mention like battery life which is short! For me, though this isn’t a big problem you kind of know it going in that this is not necessarily going to get you 10 hours at the office, but it’s not meant for that. I would definitely recommend the external optional doc from Asus for this device as they give you a longer cord and the ability to run it through HDMI. Overall, this is probably the best product I’ve bought in quite some time, and it filled a niche that I was looking for.

The title says it all. If youre looking to play PC games on the go, than this is what you want. It can do everything the steam deck does and more. Battery life is kind of meh, but its a litteral laptop that lets you play PC games like its a switch.

I think this is the best handheld pc out there. Although I knew the battery life was horrible, im impressed by everything else it offers. I am truly happy with this purchase. If you are someone who just wants to sit on the couch or has short commutes, I recommend this.

Very fast and games play very well. Took me a long time to get used to the fact I'm holding a PC in my hands but loving it. There's a lot of little things that the device does not tell you so I do recommend watching "## beginner tips for rog ally" videos. The reason it isn't a 5 is because of two things: storage space and battery life. 512 GB is incredibly small for this device. The way games are going now you can't even fit to COD Warzones in the device. Battery life is also very short. I usually get around 3 hours of game time using the middle options of power usage I couldn't imagine using the higher settings.

Took a while to get everything set up but after that it ran all my games smoothly. Happy with my purchase

Just got my hands on the ROG Ally and it absolutely rips through AAA games at 120Hz—on a handheld! The Ryzen Z1 Extreme makes this feel more like a pocket-sized gaming PC than a console. If the Steam Deck had a big brother with Windows and better graphics, this would be it.

Its a good little handheld system. Takes a bit to learn how to optimize gameplay. The positives is you get access to the entire steam deck library. The negatives are you can buy an xbox series x or ps5 for less then this handheld console and they run aaa games much better. However i travel alot and find lugging around a handheld console and dock are much easier then trying to bring my series x everywhere i go. Keep the ally plugged in and set to turbo mode for optimized gameplay. A 1080p 7 inch screen can get real muddy on fast paced games but they are at least playable. The daving grace of the ally is the windows 11 operating system making the rog ally essentially a mini gaming cpu. Just not sure if the price tag is enough bang for the buck.
