Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was debating between this and the Steam Deck and ultimately decided on this due to the colors, brightness, and resolution. I have since used both and am able to say that this is better than the steam deck in most regards. It is a little more expensive but definitely worth it if you don't want the track pads the steam deck has. That is the only factor the steam deck wins at comparing the two.

Bought this when my pre-order for a lenovo legion go got back ordered and I dont regret it one bit. Powerful enough to run most modern games well. Only 2 drawbacks are that the hard drive isn’t that big (upgraded mine to 1tb), and the rog allys have issues with the SD card reader causing them to fail.

Got it a little late but only by a day or two of release. Out of the box had to reset because armory crate would not load. After windows reset everything was working fine. Assassin Creed Chronicle crashed system but looked it up and it’s a game issue. Watchdog two runs fine and AC Odyssey bench ran fine. Steam games ran fine. My only issue is low storage.

So this thing is crazy!! Its NOT, REPEAT NOT stream lined like the deck(own both) to be console like. This is a gaming laptop with contollers attached. It does have ita issues but so far I have none that are major and easily fixed. In the end so far...worth every dang cent! Grab yours if higher end AAA games are what you want to play without limits

Pretty solid device, battery could be better but it does play any game you can think of very well.

i take this bad boy with me to work and i convinced my coworker to get one and he loves it, i have been all these games i love at work when i get downtime and its worth every dollar, i never have any issue except for maybe the battery but i always charge my phone when i use it so there is t much of a difference

I did return this since I was able to get the legion Go open box for a $110 less than the original price. But yea…. After updating and some tweaking it was working well. Control game ran with 60+ FPS at 720p with medium settings easily I barely heard the fan go off. It can go up to 1080P but not every game will run at this setting…. The ROG ally software doesn’t compare to the steam deck but I do like it better than the legion go for now. Battery is what you would expect from this type of handheld…. Not very good so keep a Powerbank with you. Sound is the best compared to the legion go and steam deck and I do mean way better!! So if you’re planning on getting one this would be a great time…. Open box items are close to $150 off. Just manage ur expectations though and you will enjoy this wonderful piece of gaming device.

For a $400 open box, can’t complain too much. The only downside is battery. Only can last for about an hour on battery.

This thing is awesome as long as you understand its limitations. I can play all of my games on it just don't expect 60 fps high settings. First thing is make sure you get all of the updates, YouTube is your friend please watch all the tutorials you can on setting it up my favorites are videos from RetroGame Corp and ETA Prime. Once you have it all setup and games downloaded please use Google to find the best settings per game.

Honestly, one of the best purchases I've made. While it's marketed as a 'Gaming Handled', it's truly a compact ASUS ROG computer, loaded with Windows 11 and full desktop functionality. It's great for gaming, but it really is a PC that has a controller as it's housing. It runs games like BO6, Rivals and Fortnite seamlessly, while bigger more intensive games struggle sometimes if you're playing through Cloud. If you download them however, it runs just like a PS5 or Xbox. Would definitely recommend the purchase, grab an adapter and a monitor and have some fun.

I love it. Its powerful beautiful screen. I love that its portable and yet still powerful. Its great

Have had this for a few months now and I am in love! Of course there are some bugs here and there but overall performance is amazing! Love having the windows experience at my fingertips. It was great on several trips I took so far. I bought a couple external battery’s and I ah e been good to go for hours! Would definitely recommend!!!

To start off i have had 2 units, the first one killed a brand new 1tb A2 card from Silicon Power(brand) ordered from amazon. The first one would also put the screen in a sleep state that the units screen wouldnt wake from, i could hear the sounds from the games but the screen wouldnt turn back on. Unit 2 has been mostly ok but in the case no pressure on it or anything the entire analog stick cap came off and would not go back on, the only way is to replace it internally. STILL I would like to say as far as gaming power and capability all in all when all is working THIS IS THE BEST GAMING EXPERIENCE EVER even over all of my other more powerful systems, it has the best sound ever in a handheld,best screen quality,the hi def vibration is great, and when you put all of those things together you get a sense filled experience while gaming, that said, I have large hands and the ergonomics could use some work on the next iteration. It feels ok but not great in my opinion.

What an amazing little device. Running AAA games at 30-60 fps is impressive. If youre familiar with windows customization is robust to tune settings. The only con is a physics problem. The battery life isnt great on this, and a battery bank is a must. A heavier battery in the device would be too uncomfortable.

Had my doubts based on reviews and the Lenovo Legion Go dropping but definitely glad I went with the Rog Ally. I love the screen size and rarely ever play handhelds with the controllers detached. Battery life could use improvement but its to be expected with a device like this running all these programs. 512Ggb isnt really enough to do much with. Consider an SSD upgrade to 1TB minimum.

Amazing product for handheld gaming, best purchase I’ve made in a while. Handles most modern games fairly well with a bit of tweaking game settings.

I was looking for a handheld PC to play Diablo 4 and it came down to the ROG Ally or the SteamDeck with workaround. The price point of the ROG Ally was comparable to the SteamDeck with 512gb, so I had to decide if the $50 price difference was worth it. After watching and reading a lot of reviews comparing the two, I decided to give the ROG Ally a try. Having used Windows 11 and having set up multiple PCs with this OS, I felt like I could troubleshoot some of the issues discussed in the reviews. The few issues that kept appearing in reviews (i.e. microSD card corruption, FPS performance at 15W, etc.) were supposedly addressed in recent firmware and BIOS updates. First thing I did as soon as I booted up the ROG Ally was perform these updates before attempting to game on the device, and I believe this addressed most of the performance issues others experienced at launch. I was able to download and install battle.net and Diablo 4 pretty easily and was able to get sustained 60fps while plugged in and using Turbo Mode. So far, I’ve put about 7-8 hrs on D4 both plugged in and on battery and have enjoyed the experience. Coming from mouse and keyboard on a gaming PC with 144fps to the ROG Ally took a little getting used to, but after about an hour I had no issues playing the game using the ROG Ally controller. I also tried partying up with some friends using the hotel Wi-Fi and was able to run dungeons for a couple of hours without any disconnections or significant lag. Overall, I’m pretty happy with my purchase and will update my review after I’ve put in more hours on the ROG Ally!

I love it! It runs wonderfully whatever game I play (after adjusting setting of course). I play a lot of Steam games on the go and this allows me to play them easily.

I have the steam deck and have played the same games on the rog and higher capacity games that even the steam deck cant fully run and i can most definitely say that this is worth it. Only downside is it dies pretty quick when it comes to playing high end games just like the steam deck.

Love this thing. If you know how to operare a gaming PC you should have no problem enjoying this device. Don't expect this to be as simple and user friendly as something like the Nintendo Switch. It's full Windows, so expect a good bit of setup and occasional troubleshooting. Plenty of power for its size. You'll probably want more storage. Thankfully it's simple to expand.
