Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not a bad handheld gaming device. Plays games decent enough. The screen is very nice. Very vivid colors. Not much to complain about. Windows can be a bit of a nightmare though. Once you get it all updated it runs good.

Decent system, comes with 512 gb that fills up quickly. Already opened it up to put in a 2 tb 2230 NVMe. To get the best out of the games, you need to have it plugged in to get the 30 w turbo mode, and then with some games it seems quite glitchy. The community is great tho. Lots of people share their best setting to help some games run smoother, but still cant get spiderman to swing without the screen lagging. It will run more games than the steamdeck, have yet to find one that wont start. Downloaded Epic games, battlenet, steam (of course), and they have xbox features on it as well. Just make sure you research the best settings and apps that are on board that slow things down and you should be fine.

My review of the Asus Rog ally. I genuinely enjoy using it for gaming. The storage of only 512gb had me a bit worried due to my extensive library across Steam, Ubisoft +, Epic, and xbox game pass but the m.2 is upgradeable to a 2tb M.2 nvme which comes in clutch and you can also add a micro sd card for expandable storage. The resolution of the screen Full 1080P with a 120hz refresh rate is absolutely amazing. I tested it our playing Marvel's Spiderman and Sony's Day Gone and I was truly impressed. The Asus Rog ally comes with 16gb ram so it's able to handle majority of triple A titles, and you're able to multi task. If you're willing to purchase a dock which there many available on Amazon from various manufacturers then you'll be able to connect the steam deck to a monitor and or tv screen for larger screen options, and you're able to connect various accessories to the dock such as external storage options, keyboard, mouse, controllers, etc. You have access to windows and the windows stores for various applications, this beauty is literally a handheld pc. Worth the buy in my opion.

Really good at what it did ran flawlessly, only used in handheld In low power mode ran most campaign games just fine only when demanding higher visuals did you really have to crank up the mode only flaw for me was the short battery life. The things is a beast

pretty good. not the best battery life but good quality.

While I ended up returning this in the end it worked exactly as intended. A pocket computer when you need it, a portable gaming device when you want it. The Armory Crate software worked pretty seamlessly, although it wasn’t without its bugs. The main issue I had with it was the battery life, though it was to be expected considering the specs that it has. Also you don’t get maximum CPU performance without plugging it in, which kind of defeats the purpose of a portable handheld device. Upgradable onboard storage is another plus, and with ASUS Cloud Recovery it makes the whole Windows reinstallation process relatively painless. There is also a microSD slot for those who don’t want to deal with reinstallation. Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap alternative to an entry gaming pc with the capability of taking it on the go for short uses.

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of gameplay on larger and demanding titles like Lies of P but it seems like while they excel in gameplay they lack a little quality hardware. I had my device for 2 weeks before I had to send it in for repair due to the thumb stick being broken and locked the cursor dragging left making it useless for gaming. I bought it because even though I have an up-to-date PC I miss the casualness of a console and this very much hit the spot and would be terrific for travel, even though the battery life is terrible. I am looking forward to getting it back and would not discourage buyers but suggest a reasonable comparison between the options available, steam deck, claw and whatever might come next to see if it would be a better fit.

I love my ally and I don’t see what the problem is. I know a lot of people complained about the performance but for the average consumer it works perfectly fine for me. I have no issues playing Spider-Man or assassins creed odyssey. Yes it’s battery life isn’t that great but that’s why we have battery banks. Overall happy with my purchase

So it's a very good machine. It is a portable PC and it played all my Epic games and Xbox Cloud games. It gets really hot. It wiped out my microSD card because of how hot it was running. Can't wait to see the next version.

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

I love this handheld. I bought it to replace my gaming laptop that I didn’t use very much. It supports external displays and can dock to a tv. I have had no problems with it so far and it does well for all the games I play. I have high hopes for the future of these handheld type devices.

Great for gaming on the go. Great performance on double AA titles and indie games. I use it everyday, and as a father of a toddler, the ROG ALLY is my go to whenever i get an itch to game. The portability allows me to game while watching the kid. Awesome buy’

Super great machine for on-the-go gaming. Only big drawback is the battery life but its worth keeping a battery pack with while you are out and about. Plays all my games I want great. Also can get loud fan-wise but can be tuned out.

Fantastic device. Handles everything I've thrown at it like a champ. Amazing speakers, crisp screen, solid build quality. The only issue was wobbly analog sticks, but I looked up a fix online and fixed it easily. Overall a great deal considering I also got it at the open-box price, and it was basically brand new.

I bought this as an open box item, and I could not be happier. Besides a little smudge on the edge which wiped off, this thing was brand new. It works great with any game I have played on it. The battery life can go a bit quick, but I also purchased a battery pack, and it keeps it going with no trouble.

If youre looking for just that, a handheld PC. The rog ally is perfect for a pc on the go. I plug in at work and it runs games great. If youre looking for more of a streamlined console handheld and not great with windows. id go with something else like a steamdeck. But the Ally is powerful and will run any game.

I have played 20+ games on the ROG Ally so far all at 1080p 120hz with high and low settings advertising around 60 FPS. The quality and screen of this device is amazing. Yes there are some flaws but can all be addressed with software updates based on my experience as a software engineer. Very happy with this purchase and excited to see what they do with it!

Gorgeous, silky smooth screen. Runs OW2 at 120fps with FSR 2.2 upscaling 720p to 1080p at medium settings. I got the official dock along with a razer blackwidow wireless M&K to take advantage of the unified usb dongle. No regrets! Takes a little tinkering to max out FPS in certain games but runs like a champ, especially in turbo mode plugged in.

Excellent system!! Used all the way until the Xbox ally came out, not a single problem with it. Audio quality is pretty amazing as well.

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