Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device is awesome, it’s light weight and very capable of handling everything that you throw at it.

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.

Its a good little handheld system. Takes a bit to learn how to optimize gameplay. The positives is you get access to the entire steam deck library. The negatives are you can buy an xbox series x or ps5 for less then this handheld console and they run aaa games much better. However i travel alot and find lugging around a handheld console and dock are much easier then trying to bring my series x everywhere i go. Keep the ally plugged in and set to turbo mode for optimized gameplay. A 1080p 7 inch screen can get real muddy on fast paced games but they are at least playable. The daving grace of the ally is the windows 11 operating system making the rog ally essentially a mini gaming cpu. Just not sure if the price tag is enough bang for the buck.

I think this is the best handheld pc out there. Although I knew the battery life was horrible, im impressed by everything else it offers. I am truly happy with this purchase. If you are someone who just wants to sit on the couch or has short commutes, I recommend this.

A tiny handheld computer. Able to play Steam and other PC games on the Ally. Fits my hands perfectly (female). Speakers are plenty loud enough. Screen is bright and clear. Never any lag or blur. External storage. Minimal setup. I prefer it over my son's Steam Deck. I think he might be jealous!

I own AyaNeo2 Steamdeck and ROG Ally. I see mysepf picking up Ally more often than not. It is an amazing device. Beinf an avid windows user, and being building PCs since 1990s, i was right at home with interface. It has it's own quirks but the ability to natively play all games is amazing! I would give it 6 starts if i could.

Why not. From a deck user. The ally is the next best thing. It’s exactly what you expect. Which means. It’s rocket fast. It plays anything. The sound is top notch. The screen is gorgeous. But it’s windows. It’s not a switch or deck like super easy console. Requires knowledge of windows. Reddit will be your best friend

It’s loads of fun if you know where to set your expectations when getting into it. I’ve definitely heard about a lot of people returning since it isn’t as seamless as something like the Steam Deck. It has a much better screen and performance. It’s great once you’re in game, but getting there can be tricky pretty often.

Really awesome and ready to use glad I can use this and not have to buy an Xbox and it being portable is the best

The device definitely has some heating issues and sometimes has some performance problems, but with a few updates everything got fixed and the device works great

Great starter gaming handheld, a decent upgrade to a steam deck. It can play most games on at least medium settings quite well. Sd card issues and windows are a bit of a draw back, installing Steam OS definitely upgrades the device.

Great little mobile gaming device that can be stand alone PC when you need it. Just know that you need to alter game settings to have a smooth expierence, but even then the games still look fantastic. Games I've played so far Cyberpunk 5/5, Chivalry 5/5, Starfield 3/5 (They're still ironing out some kinks), Baldur's Gate 3 2/5 (There are some setting to tweak, but imo it's does not play well and looks like PS2 Graphics), GTA V 5/5, Payday 5/5, and more. I travel extensively for work and some situations a standard gaming laptop is not viable in the passenger seat of car or plane. The only issue I have is battery life, but you want to be plugged in to take advantage of turbo mode. I do reccomend a stylus and a protective screen if you have giant hands. The fans arent too noticeable, but they're audible when gaming in bed in the evening. I really enjoy watching movies and series on it and packed with an SD card or expanded SSD it is nice. Definitely invest in a docking station to game on larger screens.

Bought this for my husband and he absolutely loves it! He was looking for something hand-held so he could sit on the couch and watch TV with us while being able to catch up on some games he said he's been wanting to play. This was the way to go! It plays anything thrown at it.

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.

Great for casual gaming and as a handheld pc. Can easily use steam and other launchers. Looks and feel more premium than steam deck. Two minor issues i had: squeaky triggers and low quality when playing aaa games. Casual gand retro gamer will have an amazing experience!

A pleasant surprise, works really well, and plays all my games without any challenges so far with very high responsiveness in high detailed modes. Light weight so easy to hold and play for couple of hours. Pretty good first attempt for a handheld PC

I have loved my ROG Ally and being able to play games everywhere in my house. It plays most of my games very well. It is also a great Nintendo Switch replacement with my emulated games. I did have an issue with the SD card reader, but ASUS was quick to RMA and fix the issue.

Plays csgo and Kerbal fine, I got a wireless keyboard and mouse for mine. I use it in my work truck while on site.

Was curious about the handheld pc’s and got this one open box. Performance is good if your realistic and dont mind lowering the graphics or resolution for max fps gains. I would recommend this to anyone who likes handheld gaming.

Runs most of my games with ease. Definitely worth the pick up
