Customer Ratings & Reviews

As the title says i love this unit a lot. At first i didnt like it due to the controller not working with some games or other games not wanting to download correctly. I updated the software and bios and 95% of all the problems went away. The battery life isnt the best but like every handheld its kinda expected , i carry a portable charger with me and its not an issue. Highly recommend since it can be used as both a PC and a handheld.

Really great handheld device Games run smooth, travel size to perfection

I have been a long time playstaion player but i also have always played bethesda games so when Starfield came out i had to find a way to play. This machine runs it perfectly. My only complaint and I assume it would be with every handheld out is the battery life. Its under an hour for a game like Starfield or Farcry 5 and 6. Plugged in it gets a little warm but runs for as long as i wish to play without issue.. running windows 11 it will do basically anything you want a laptop to do

I recently purchased the ASUS ROG Ally, and it's an outstanding device. The performance is top-notch, handling demanding games with ease. The display is vibrant and crisp, enhancing the gaming experience. Its design is sleek and comfortable for long sessions. The customizable RGB lighting is a nice touch. Highly recommended for serious gamers!

I picked up the console on launch day. I love the console, but there are a few issues. One, my SD card reader is not functioning. Two, I would love to dock the ally, but the only one which functions with the turbo tdp of 45w is Asus dock. That one is $65. Overall I've had fun playing pc games on the go. The screen is fantastic, wide color gambit. The speakers are some of the best I've heard on a hand held gaming console.

a tiny powerful handheld PC that is only bothered by short battery life and how awful Windows 11 is as a touch screen operating system at this small scale. But paired with the right accessories and some battery packs. This mobie gaming device is amaizing! get 40 fps or more on lots of AAA titles and plays indies with ease.

doesn't have lots of storage and over heats. Other than that really goof

A portable powerful device. Acess to steam and microsoft/xbox store and others. It works great.

Definitely the best handheld out there. I have since upgraded to the Ally X, but still stand by my decision to give this system 5/5 stars. I have been able to run every game flawlessly. The battery is good for quick flights and road trips (but make sure you bring your charger and possibly a large capacity power bank).

Got this from Open Box, it was in *perfect* condition, and as a device, this is the best purchase I could have made for 400-500 dollars. Excellent performance for the package, and to this day, far removed from release day, it's still one of the best performers out there. Battery is a bit short. Actually, really short. on 25W, necessary for AAA gaming, you'll get 45min-1h. I recommend using 17 or 18W, where you get 80% ish of the max performance, but battery will last you closer to 2 hours. Problem being that for harder to run AAA, this means you'll not have 30+ fps. Anyway... I love this thing and I'm SUPER excited for the future of handhelds because this little guy is a BEAST as it is.

This device is my life. I use it for everything and bring it everywhere. It’s more powerful than I had expected it to be. The battery options are a lifesaver. When docked I set it to turbo and when I’m on the go I set it to quiet and the battery lasts longer than expected. I did have to send it in for support for the SD card reader. But it was repaired and sent back within a week.

As a former steam deck owner, the Ally is awesome. It plays every game in my steam, battle net, and epic library. Not a single compatibility issue. The power is amazing, especially when plugged in. Screen is crisp, refresh rate is great, and the armory crate software is awesome and removes the annoying parts of windows. I highly recommend this over a steam deck if you are looking to do portable pc gaming.

Decently powerful system, plays any of my games. Battery life isn’t great.

It was a rocky start at first but after about 2 hours of set up and updates, its a really nice handheld. Also keep in mind to treat this like a pc not a normal handheld console.

Honestly a pretty solid little gaming handheld. There are issues that ive seen other people have but personally i havent. I also havent dropped mine. I recommend one if you want something on the go, something you can put on a dock in a different room, or if you wanna spend more time around family without being d a desk.

Have to go with average on this one. The biggest problem with this version of the Rog Ally is the SD card problem. The SD card slot on this WILL FAIL and will have to be sent into the manufacturer to fix. Having said that you can upgrade the SSD which gives you enough space to play whatever your heart desires. The downsides to this are the joysticks, mostly, they feel weak and it feels like just blowing on them could make them go out of alignment. Just really weak springs. Gaming wise, it does a pretty decent job, the z-1 extreme version anyway. Balder's Gate 3, didn't have any issues when I got to act 3, if that says anything. Overall it's a nice device but I think the price needs to come down a bit on it.

Soo, crazy thing I did was sold my main gaming rig and got this instead due to me having a newborn and needed some extra room plus I don't have time to sit on my desk anymore not with a baby so this little handheld really has blown me away when it came mes to performance and portability. Just absolutely joy to play on this thing! It basically became my destiny 2/diablo iv/PC gamepass machine! No regrets at getting rid of my gaming PC. Good job, ASUS! If you're a gamer dad, I highly suggest picking one up and you won't be disappointed!

This has been great so far for playing my steam library. It has no problem playing even the AAA titles with ease and steady frame rates. Also, love that I can play Fortnite with friends on their consoles. I would suggest purchasing an external battery in case your not next to a plug. The battery tends to dry up quickly when running on full power. I wish this was around when I was a kid, but glad I can enjoy gaming as an adult again.

I'm very happy with my decision to purchase this over the other handheld out there. Windows actually runs pretty well on here. Every game that I have played very well on the rog ally. The screen is great! Textures, colors, and brightness are all stellar. I like to play with it plugged in so I can keep it in performance mode, but even with it unplugged and on the go it runs great for a fair amount of time.

This console truly is amazing, i was skeptical at first but it really can do more than just mid-high level gaming. Once paired up with a mouse and keyboard, you have yourself a reasonably priced hybrid machine. Emulations and asus rog ally go hand in hand. If you get specific peripherals, it also turns into an amazing gaming 4k 60fps gaming machine. Besdies the battery life, everything else is amazing. You also have consistent firmware updates which shows promise of continued support. So far, I truly have no complaints.
