Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very good runs most games and havent had any problems what so ever. Controls are pretty easy sometimes you need to do some key binds but other than that super simple. Battery does die pretty quick if you have all the settings turned all the way up but I just keep mine plugged in

This is not a handheld gaming device. This is a powerful handheld device that plays games. With Windows 11 and Office 365 cloud sync, I leave my laptop on my desk grab this and I can work then game, game then work u get the picture. I work in IT security and use both Mac and Windows along with my tools these laptops makes my bag very heavy then the power brick for the gaming laptop easily over 25lbs. I grabbed this my backpack feels like air now. If you are a bit on the Geek Squad of things. (Shameless plug lol) I have a Doc that allows full 30 honestly this can take over as a daily driver. I render a video faster on the Ally than my Mac Book Pro. Crazy!!!

I absolutely love my ROG Ally. I have ot and a steamdeck but i find myself going to my ally every singe time i go to play something at work or on the go. I carry both with me but the ally just looks and plays games so much better not to mention it does everything any other pc could do. It really is a pocket pc running on windows 11

The Rog is good. It has good quality, the performance is great, good battery life. Can browse the internet with no problem, I recommend to everyone.

This thing is great. It plays most every game real well, it feels really comfortable in your hands, I've been extremely happy with it. Biggest downside is the battery. Playing it on the max settings, you might be lucky to get 90 minutes on the battery. Much more on the lower operation modes, but be prepared to charge.

As handhelds go I love it. I am an over the road truck driver and i play it every day. Graphics comparable to my newer xbox, great ergonomics, nice screen. I love it. Only conplaint is the low battery life but i play it plugged in 99 percent of the time so its no big deal.

I'm surprised at how great the ROG Ally plays games. The included 3 month game pass ultimate ensures you'll have games to play before you decide what games you'll want to spend money on. Battery life is a bit short depending on game but it charges pretty fast even while actively playing.

I enjoy the size, portability and premium feel of this handheld pc gaming device. Asus has continually been pushing updates out to improve the software experience. After returning the Legion Go due to the shoddy software, the Ally is a much better device for gaming on the go.

Hands down this is the best alternative to a Nintendo Switch if you don’t like Nintendo games. I can use my entire PC catalogue with additional support from AMD/ROG. The only negative is that the graphics usually are set to medium if you want to play modern games at 30fps-60fps. Either way amazing handheld and worth the price.

Despite the sd card issue, the device runs great and is extremely fun. Got me back into gaming. Easy to use and portable even for its size. Have a 2 yr old and gaming has been hard but this has allowed me to game with the little time available. Recommend

Very fast and games play very well. Took me a long time to get used to the fact I'm holding a PC in my hands but loving it. There's a lot of little things that the device does not tell you so I do recommend watching "## beginner tips for rog ally" videos. The reason it isn't a 5 is because of two things: storage space and battery life. 512 GB is incredibly small for this device. The way games are going now you can't even fit to COD Warzones in the device. Battery life is also very short. I usually get around 3 hours of game time using the middle options of power usage I couldn't imagine using the higher settings.

I been reading reviews with many getting flustered over setup, however this is legit the easiest setup you can ask for. The drivers, software, and information is all laid out for you and they even preinstalled Steam! You can download EPIC, Ubisoft, and EA if you so desire and start downloading and playing your games. For those looking to play retro games then check out Launchbox. The ergonomics and weight completly destroy the chunky boy that is the Steam Deck. The screen is unbelievable, I seriously cant understand how Valve got away with putting such a low quality display in the Steam Deck. Buttons are legit perfection and quiet for late night gaming. SSD is super replaceable and I put a 2TB in this!!! I feel like valve fanboys are reviewing this…

The best purchase that I made, stunning screen and controls, just the battery drains quickly with AAA games

Overall ROG Ally was a good first attempt by Asus on a gaming handheld. Performance was great and easy enough to upgrade SSD. Only downside was specific to my use case - planning to use as my work system while travelling. 7" screen is just too small for doing work and just requires you to bring 2nd larger screen - which then defeats the purpose of a mobile setup. The GPD Max 2 and even Legion Go are better options for this hybrid use case.

Excelente to play games but the battery is to short, only long about 1 hour

Powerful, compact, and large enough to play Retro, PC, and Emulators comfortably. The ally balanced the Power and Price, yes you can get a slightly faster machine for way more or a slow 720p for less. This hit the sweet spot.

So I tend to over research everything to find the biggest bang for my buck. This is it! If you're considering this vs the base vs the more expensive Ally X I cannot recommend this enough. It has the same processor and screen as the X with a smaller battery and less RAM. That's it, get a large external battery for cheap that has a PD port of about 65w or more and you can play this thing nearly all day. Performance is amazing and it can even function as a desktop PC with some setup. Get it!!!!

Ive been using this for a good week now and i gotta say I absolutely lovw this thing. Ive had no issues with it at all. Plays my games great but i havent played every game so be warned. I was on the fence about getting a SteamDeck and I saw this was announced so I thought id wait and take a risk and boy am I pleased. I already loded all my games and emulators on this guy and Im happy I went this route. Other than my nintendo switch this is my first handheld pc and I am completely satisfied. If youre like me and are new to this area you wont be disappointed with this device. Some games will need adjusting but unless you have a beast mode PC you might already be use to that. If you dont have a gaming pc already youll be learning how to adjust settings which isnt that hard but watch a youtube video or two and youll be just fine. This is my go to travel companion now and I leave my switch at home. I fly frequently across the US so I have alot of time at the airport to play. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into the handheld arena. I havent tried a steam deck but I prefer the full windows on my device. No issues and is updated frequently.

we’ve come a far away from things like the game boy when I was a kid. This device is just awesome! I was playing Forza last night really enjoying myself. Then I shut that down and I used it like a Windows device and checked my email and ran my favorite Windows apps for about an hour. Yes, this thing is a beast at playing games, but it also can be a productivity device which I enjoy. Yes there are cons that people mention like battery life which is short! For me, though this isn’t a big problem you kind of know it going in that this is not necessarily going to get you 10 hours at the office, but it’s not meant for that. I would definitely recommend the external optional doc from Asus for this device as they give you a longer cord and the ability to run it through HDMI. Overall, this is probably the best product I’ve bought in quite some time, and it filled a niche that I was looking for.

Amazing performance. Can play anything I throw at it. This is subjective, but I much prefer the ergonomics and buttons over the Steam Deck. Battery life sucks but it is to be expected from a device with a 40Wh battery than can reach over 40W of power usage in turbo mode. Would recommend to anyone that can actually use windows.
