Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is amazing. It is everything you need it to be. It's a portable console, laptop home entertainment system all in one. I do a lot of flying and I love that I can take it with me and use it everywhere. I know the steam deck can do a lot of the same but the Ally is a portable PC. You won't regret buying one.

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.

This is a great gaming hand held! Works and runs smoother than I ever thought. One down side is the battery does not last very long. But overall a great alternative to a PC

Personally i believe the Ally is superior to the Steam Deck in numerous ways. People that just want a gaminf console should probably grt the dexk, but people who want a portable gaming computer should defintely side with the Ally. The screen is so so much better and the better graphics processor is noticeably better as well

The performance doesn't disappoint.Powered by a robust set of internals, games run smoothly with impressive graphics, demonstrating that ASUS didn't compromise power for portability. The display offers vivid colors and sharp details, ensuring that every in-game moment is captured with clarity.

Works great but gets hot. I've heard the heat can damage sd cards bit I've never experienced that.

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.

It’s fun and runs things surprisingly well when plugged into power on handheld it struggles when not in turbo mode but that does drain the battery pretty quickly. I did get it open box and had no problems at all it does everything I want it to do

Is a useful device if you wanna play games while you're out. It would be helpful if you keep it plugged in because the battery does run out pretty quick

I’ve been heavily enjoying the ally since receiving it. Playing anything I was anywhere is great! I know some people are complaining about windows but i haven’t had any problems personally. Just a tip for some, the back left button and up on the d-pad will pull up the keyboard. Back left button and down will bring up task manager.

I was always leary of getting the steam deck since at base it only interfaces with steam. Well this allows me to play everything from Steam, Game Pass and even DIABLO 4 out of the gate!! Battery life is NOT great even at 15w 1080P but i still love this thing and enjoy being able to play PC games on the go or even on my couch.

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!

Much better than my steamdeck as far as usability. Plays more games, but the micro sd design is so flaw and can fry a micro sd within a week. Upgrading the internal 2230 ssd was easy!

I did love this, especially for the price I paid for it. But ultimately I returned it. One morning I looked down and had a giant battery pack, USB splitter, extra external storage and I thought to myself...it makes more sense to return this for the X. But it still is a beast for the price!

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 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.

The title says it all. If youre looking to play PC games on the go, than this is what you want. It can do everything the steam deck does and more. Battery life is kind of meh, but its a litteral laptop that lets you play PC games like its a switch.

excellent performance in all the games that I have tried from the steam store, gamepass and epic, both in portable mode and connected to a dock, the battery lasts about an hour but charges in half that time, the joysticks are not good for shooters but being a pc with windows 11 it has compatibility with xbox controllers

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.

This rogue ally is a beast of a handheld console my first ever and I love it. I had a PS portal and it was completely trash and who wants to play games over Wi-Fi, rog I can take it with me to work on trips play games off-line. I love it graphics or amazing.
