Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is crazy. I love it. I have both this and the Steam Deck and I much prefer the Ally. Screen is way better, more powerful, runs Windows 11 out of the box, and is way more comfortable to hold.

ASUS has come in to the handheld segment just right. I have the Steam Deck and the GPD Win Max 2 6800u... performance the Ally is the winner. I play mostly shooters on my devices. Upgraded the ssd easier than the steam deck. About comparable battery life running higher than 720p.

This hand held is quite literally everything I've ever wanted. It's a switch and gaming PC all in one. I can emulate everything up through PS3 flawlessly. And I'm even playing BRAND NEW PC TITLES like Jedi Survivor at 40FPS in medium settings. It's crazy. LOVE this thing

Runs everything you need to like a champ. Also it's windows 11, so that's a bonus. Games such as Tekken 8 have locked 60fps on medium. Baldur's gate 3 split-screen coop works at 30+ on low. Street fighter 6 gets locked 60 at high-ultra settings. This little machine worked well at the $600 I bought it for, to see it go even lower makes it so much more accessible. I am not the biggest fan of its D-Pad for fighting games, however I mostly use external controllers. Storage is 512 gb, so it is upgradable if you tear it apart, or slap an SD card in it. I recommend the Rog Ally Z1E, even if you don't want to spring for the X.

Great device and comfortable to hold. It plays everything from all the storefronts uou want to throw at it.

Really enjoying the Ally! I’m new to PC gaming so it’s been a bit of a learning curve with some aspects of the device but overall it’s been great. No issues with the Ally whatsoever. Anything I’ve struggled with just took a bit of time and patience along with a lot of YouTube and the official ROG Ally Discord. I know some buyers have had legitimate hardware issues. I think many folks bought one expecting a game console-like experience and unfortunately they got more than they expected. For longtime PC Gamers, they knew what they were getting into. The gamers that didn’t have the patience to learn the Ally’s ins and outs are the ones returning or exchanging the Ally thinking is something is wrong but more than likely is just user error. TheSteamdeck also had growing pains when it was released a year ago. Those who were patient and stuck with watched the Deck get better with time. Same will happen with the Ally. Patience and understanding is key.

It’s an overall great product. I wish it came with a 1tb ssd installed already, but it didn’t. But the screen shows really well and works really well. I like the Xbox controller layout.

Nice job on this handheld gaming system, smooth graphics speed and controls. It's a mix of gaming and a mini PC. Gets a bit warm during some games you play.

Been with this device for two weeks and its amazing. Battery life could be better but overall a fantastic on the go device. Needs polishing but im confident it will be an even better device after a few months.

It is a very good device. Great for playing pc games or really any kind of game on the go

Just returned. Setup and updating took a while. Performance and screen were great, but the armory crate menus were so clunky and froze. I expected bad battery life, but this was worse than I could have prepared for. Sticking with my steam deck when/if ASUS releases some fixes or has an inevitable pro version in a few months. I know they don’t have the best track record with customer service though

Good little product, been using it more than my pc lately. Only complaint is the battery life, but the battery life is expected for a device like this one

The olny complaint is battery life it totally sucks and the price could be a tad bit lower than it is but the systems does wonders i play VR games off of it and everything pc, steam, GeForce,

Needed a PC for the house and also wanted a gaming handheld. Works amazing. Graphics are awesome. Only negative battery life.

Small screen and less than stellar battery life but power is there and device is light and easily portable. Just wish it didn’t have the rog “gamer” look about it quite as much.

all in all i think its a sturdy solid device, it plays most AAA tittles well. i would not say excellent because as one other on this review said it could be better. not by a lot but it could be a little better.

Nearly perfect, very powerful especially coming from the the steam deck. Takes a little tweaking to setup. SD card reader has issues, but it doesn't matter since I upgraded the internal SSD. The screen is amazing and VRR is a must have now

As a Mac User, having a portable windows based device is a godsend. While having to work through a free updates and driver issues the ASUS Rog Ally has been amazing for me to play games. It’s so convenient to also play while lounging in a recliner or bed.

Great little machine that allows me to play most of my games like WoW from the comfort of my couch. It does get a little hot after prolonged play sessions but has still handled everything like a champ.

I love it. I’ve always had an appreciation for mobile computing and mobile gaming even though I hardly ever go anywhere. Some people say windows 11 is a detriment to this device, some say it is its greatest asset. I believe the truth lies somewhere in between. The bottom line is this….I can play pretty much everything in my steam library and what’s more, I’m not limited to only steam games like this devices competitor. Yes I’m aware there are workarounds for that device but on my Ally, no such workaround is necessary. It’s a gaming pc without a keyboard and mouse with a high refresh rate display. Which brings me to my other favorite feature. That display is gorgeous. It is pricey, no getting around that but hey what even is money anyway?
