Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a solid handheld if you’re familiar with a windows platform. Though it is hard to navigate the touchscreen inputs. Overall build quality is good. Battery life is awful. But paired with a solid portable power bank that has a minimum output of 65w you can get some long sessions in at high settings.

I haven't played games on my actual PC since I've got this. I've even put MORE into gaming because now I can play anywhere! I love that I can run any game I wants with mods included if any. The quality is really great. The battery life is average 2 hours depending what I'm playing. It doesn't bother me too much since it will either be a good time for a break or just plug it into the wall behind me. I love my Ally so much! If you are a girl and have smol hands - do not worry, it still works great :) .

Wanted the power of a gaming PC and portability of a handheld device. This device doesn't disappoint. I can play the games that I usually played on an old core i3 gaming pc, but better! If you don't want to spend much updating your old gaming pc, this is an amazing purchase. Note: To play some games, tweaking is needed, is a windows handheld gaming device after all, so If you are into tech stuff this will be no problem. Also, the Spigen set is a must have: screen protector, slim case and travel case

This is a solid first gen machine it can play everything from retro to modern title's. Three problems plague it. 1. Micro sd card slot placement over the exhaust i havent had this as a problem but some people have reported micro sd card failure due to the heat from the exhaust. 2.for good or bad it uses full on windows as the os it updates all the time. But the biggest problem is the battery you might get 1 hour play time depending on how demanding the game is. Dealing with all that i love its easyier then lugging around a laptop.

Its very fun, and a definite head tuner. i use it for mainly ps2 emulation and setup is s breeze, i play nfsu2 in 720p and the gameplay is extremely smooth.. the battery life is my biggest gripe but that could be fixed or you can opt for ally x. For the money its definitely worth the purchase. I'd purchase again if necessary

The ROG Ally is fast and smooth. It is superligt. All my favorite games run great and I like how it has access to add more storage.

Great handheld, I use it almost every day. With a good case, a dock and some grips for the controller and this thing is a beast! The only disappointment I have is the SD card reader not working but I'm sure there will be a fix for that soon and who really games off of a SD card anyways? All in all I give it a 4 stars but it would have been 5 if everything was working properly.

I love the Ally. Playing games on it is amazing. I would recommend you to know a little bit about windows if you want one. It's awesome being able to play games on steam, epic games store, ane Xbox game pass. And if you like emulators this is a Beast as long as you have the knowledge. If you're playing a game like Red Dead Redemption 2 the battery will not last long. If you play a game like Stardew Valley The battery will last a lot longer. Also a nice thing about play games on the Ally is that you can Mod the games.

Love, My Rog ally. There are so many bad review out there. Come on, You can't expect a newly lauch device to work fawless on day one. Im sure asus will work out all it's issues with there device and it will run flawlessly. Havent had all the issue with mind. It plays all the games i throw at it. Battery life is not all that great but it includes a 65w charger that charges it up less than 30 minutes to full charge. If you're use to running windows pc you will have no issue. Its truly a pc plus handheld built in one device.

This is something Extremely funny and powerful never thought this kind of performance could be packed in a gaming handheld like this, it's beautiful design with a nice 120hz screen

Had it for a year and it’s been playing games great. Battery life isn’t the best but it’s alway best to play indoors rather than outdoors. You can definitely pair it with a good power bank and a 40w wire so you can get some extra battery life.

Is it perfect? No. Is anything first gen perfect at first? No. Is it worth your money? Well i cant answer that for you, but it was worth mine. I like being able to wind down at night and this is perfect for that. Its windows based so its pretty flexible. And if you already have xbox gamepass, then you already have a library of games at your disposal. Emulators? Yep. Good screen and speakers. It is reparible too. You need more memory?u can install it yourself. Get a little dock like i have and you can use it as your game machine and general purpose computer. 5/5 for me. I know they are going to work all the bugs out and this thing is going to be solid!

Its worth getting. For the price of a PS5 you are basically geting something that is more gaming than laptop. Lol maybe I should of gotten a gaming laptop but this works fine with the right accessories. I am so please with this, that the laptop I purchased back in 2019 is being replaced by this gaming device. While I was trialing it. The return policy for Best Buy was the main reason why I purchased it. I was going to get gaming laptop, but I am satisfied with the ultra portability of this handheld.

I tried this system and live the fact that you can continue PC games on the handheld. if i were traveling all the time i might have kept it. it’s great for some games but if your targets are far away it can make aiming extremely difficult. the speed is great, the quality, feel, and the way it looks are all incredible. overall i returned the product because the machine’s fans get loud and it gets pretty warm. you can definitely tell how hard it’s working. i think i’m going to just wait until the next generation comes out because i love the direction it’s headed in but i see these areas needing improvement. again, if i were traveling a whole bunch and couldn’t bring my PC or laptop setups, then i would have kept it. I would recommend swapping iut the 512gb ssd to the 2tb before even turning it on (to avoid having to repeat the process when you use up all of your storage in the first day), but keep in mind you’ll have to configure the system doing it that way, it can be downloaded from startup

Purchased because i was wanting to have something portable and it does not disappoint. I have had it for 6+months and play on it almost every night. Being a windows machine i was able to download from steam, xbox, ea, and prime for all my gaming needs. The functionality of the armoury crate is neat as well. The only downside to the purchase was the hard drive space but thats an easy upgrade/fix with a external drive or if your are tech savy the internal installation is easy as well.

I really enjoy the rog, its able to play all my games and it's a pretty nice handheld computer.

Wow those things amazing I’ve been having so much fun using this everywhere I do. It’s simple to use graphics absolutely amazing. The battery life isn’t as bad as most people think and I can do a pretty good amount of gaming before. But luckily, it has a really fast.

I kept being indecisive about it, but the end i believe it was worth it. The idea of carrying your games, from Steam or EpicGames, while being on the go is pretty neat. The fact that is not just for gaming is neat too. I personally didn't know how it worked, i was expecting something like the Switch OS, so the fact this is a small computer is great. Some will say just buy a laptop, but honestly i don't want to carry something that big, so this perfect. It is newer, so plenty of years before it becomes obsolete. The only complaint I have, and I read about is the battefy life.

I already own a steam deck, but i saw this had better specs and full Windows 11 on it, so i boight it. Overall, its a nice device, 1080p 120hz screen, RGB lights on the joysticks, and a nice design. The games look really nice on it, and the amount of storage is generous. The only problem I ran into is that the microsd card reader died on mine after 2 weeks, and I have to use a usb c adapter to use microsd until a solution comes along. Besides that, i recommend buying this.

I love this thing. I am primarily a console gamer, and occasionally played switch and was looking for something more powerful that was hand held. The ROG Extreme delivers. I did purchase the lower end model initially and it was returned within a day. The upgraded one is def the way to go if you are looking to play Triple A titles. Any game I have throw at it works flawlessly (Fortnite, Palia, Dead By Daylight, Texas Chainsaw etc) From cozy games to MMO the ROG Extreme runs it flawlessly
