Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought it to be able to game nearly anywhere id like, so far, ive been playing diablo 4 and MW2. Very fast, great graphics and no issues so far. Excited to try some more things such as emulation and explore xbox gaming. Just need to be excited to learn and explore things before giving up. Its not really meant to be a desktop replacement, though you could buy the external video card for more power, expand the ssd, etc. if youre a beginner, stick to games compatible with controllers without manually having to tweak and setup.

This thing is awesome, display, comfort, sound, power of the device, except poor battery, but my solution is portable battery which gives me uninterrupted gaming for 12 plus hours. Ive been eyeing several handheld gaming devices for some time now but im glad i went with this one. I also plug in my Rokid Max glassed and my experience befomes on another level, its like playing on a huge TV without needing one, plus there is an adapter so I can charge and use glasses at the same time. Its a win win situation right there.

This exactly what I wanted without having to buy a new pc I absolutely love this so much perfectly for on the go the battery life isn’t to good but when I have it on the docking station most the time I have no complaints

for a on the go device this thing does it all. It’s comparable to a 1650 gpu wise. But it plays anything or any game I throw at it. If u are on the road or just wanna play a game or get on the pc while on the couch or bed. This is the right thing for you! Definitely recommend an upgrade for ssd though!

Still love it. Works great. Best Buy price matched me the week I bought it cuz it went on sale the same week.

The ASUS ROG ALLY gets a 5/5 stars every time hands down! Runs every AAA game I have to play with ease! Whether I’m traveling or want to enjoy gaming while being able to sit on my couch while my family watches a movie, the Asus rog ally gives me that luxury! The folks down at Best Buy were able to answer all the questions I had about the console and were very professional and friendly! 5/5 stars for the console AND BEST BUY!

As someone who owns a Steam Deck i bought this device cause i wanted just a little more power and i also wanted Windows so i could play my multiplayer games since Anti cheat doesnt play well with the Steam Deck. Im in love with it and its completely replaced the Steam Deck for me. Being able to play my game pass games and Battlefield and CoD and this thing runs it beautifully. Would highly recommend

I was always hesitant wtih peoducts like these due to the performance and resolution. Love the 1080p screen and the FPS that I can achieve on it. The only thing that would have made it better would have been an OLED but the LCD is also pretty good. I can definitely recommend this product and can’t wait to get my hands on a eGPU (ROG XG mobile). I get around mid 50s with CoD MW2 campaign with mixed settinf on 1080p and in NfS Monst Wanted (2005) ~170 fps on 1080p, so far it handled every game pretty well.

Good and fast portable mini pc. Game run smooth and have a nice clear screen. Nice led lights tone with the with color.

compared to the Steam Deck the software could be so much better, but whether thats the price you pay for buying a Windows handheld or it being made by ASUS with their notoriously jank Armoury Crate software has yet to be seen. Despite the software jank though the performance, flexibility and the screen on this machine still makes it worth it in my eyes and it can handle emulation like a pro.

I love this handheld console so much, it’s basically a PC with Xbox controls and it’s just amazing, honestly runs games a lot better than low eng gaming laptops and AAA games run like nothing, I love it so much that this is the second one I buy since it will be a gift for someone special on Christmas and I know they’ll love it as much as I do. Only down side is the storage but you can easily buy a 1 tb as card and have a bunch of games

This device far exceeds my expectations. That fact that it can play any game from almost any platform (including Steam) makes it far superior to the Stream Deck for me. The only thing preventing me from giving it five stars is the battery life. I could only play a game for about 25-30 minutes before the device needed to be recharged.

Compared to the Steam Deck, Rog Ally is a high-performance PC handheld console with a vibrant display and a high refresh rate. However, its drawback lies in battery life, as it can only sustain 1 hour of gameplay for AAA, requiring constant reliance on a charger. If you frequently use it outdoors, Steam Deck may be more suitable.

I’ve used the Steam Deck and Switch — nothing comes close to the power packed into the ROG Ally. This thing runs AAA titles like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk like a dream. The 120Hz screen is super smooth, the Z1 Extreme chip keeps everything fast, and I love that I can dock it and use it like a full-blown PC. If you’re serious about portable gaming, this is the move. IT GOES EVERYWHERE

Amazing product. Great for on the go and at home. with the power of AMD's RSR and AFMF2 you can get tons of performance out of this unit. The battery dies fast like this. But if you plug it in, it's amazing.

Been trying out several Windows handhelds looking for the perfect fit. Full-sized sticks, frontfiring speakers, a gorgeous 7-inch screen, a slim and reasonably lightweight design, this thing ticks a lot of boxes even before we get to the subject of power. Man the Z1 chip can really crunch through any game you throw at it, especially at that 30W turbo mode. Love this handheld, it's my favorite one in the current market.

When this thing is plugged allowing to use the 30w mode is a beast! A lot of performance for a handheld, the 15w mode is enough to run some old games with great performance, but the battery still an issue. I got a good power bank and is very helpful when an outlet is not available. The future of handhelds looks very bright.

Very nice handheld gaming at an affordable price. Running nicely after some OS, fan, and power tweaks using g-helper and handheld companion. I compared it with a few other handhelds like the win gpd 4, steamdeck but settle on the rog ally due to the double fans, modding potential, 120hz screen. Ssd Was easily upgradeable with same 2230 nvme but later on fitting a 2280 4tb p3 plus removing a few plastic tabs with nail clipper/nose pliers.

Ok first things, first. There are going to be patches and fixes that are going to be implemented on this very new device. If you are patient though, you will be owning one of the most powerful and and superior handhelds on earth right now. That being said, battery life is not terribly fantastic. But, it's nothing that a Power Bank can't remedy. I love this tiny laptop. It features Windows 11. And, you can surely use it for work as well as playing games.
