Customer Ratings & Reviews

Way better sceeen than the steam deck, way better color accuract, saturation and contrast. Performance is about 20% better than the Steam Deck at the same 15W power usage. The software side is still a bit buggy but shiild improve overtime

So far, I've had a blast playing games on the go with the ROG ALLY. The storage is deceiving for how well it runs, and when it comes to the gameplay and comfortability in game, I enjoy playing all sorts of genres like racing, RPG, Shooters and basic just drawing and graphics. 10/10 would recommend.

This device is awesome if youre into PCs. If your a console player this might not be the device for you as this can play games but do a whole lot more than that. Its pretty much having a gaming laptop but in a handheld portable form factor. I love that it runs windows out of the box and when add a mouse , keyboard, monitor, its a full on PC. Since this is a full on pc its not plug and play like a console or like steam deck or switch. This device is in a leavie of theor own Upgrades are coming daily to make this device run the best possible. The reason im not goving it 5 stars is that it cant run batocera for all my emulators when every single PC i own can, even a 10year old PC. They need to fox this asap and ill update thos reciew to 5 stars. switxh and sd. This device in its own league. I waasa

Love it. Takes a bit to get everything set up but once it's working it works great. I have a pc but currently don't have much time to sit at it to game so this let's me game on the go.

Super powerful handheld! Love that it has full blown windows 11 on it. Plays Resident Evil Village, Borderlands 3, and Final Fantasy X and X-2 like a champ. Only complaint is the battery life, but thats not enough for me to rate it lower, i love the thing. Beats the heck out of the Steamdeck

What an amazing handheld PC this is I can take my Gaming on the go and play my Xbox Games through cloud gaming as well as Steam games for PC best purchase I ever made highly recommended for players that like to play on the go.

I love this thing. I use it both as a portable gaming device and as a small personal computer. If you want the windows experience this is it.

This is easily one of the best handhelds on the market. I’ve owned it for 2 years now, and I can say it’s exceeded my expectations and I am constantly recommending this to my friends.

This is a very capable gaming laptop shoved into very compact portable platform. It runs Windows 11 and all of my EA, Steam, and other games with ease. If you are looking for an ultra compact gaming platform that checks all the boxes, then order this today!

I have truly enjoyed playing the Ally. It does come with some quirks, but largely it fits the type of gaming I've been looking for. I can play it anywhere, or attach to a dock and play like a console. It can play pretty much any game you throw at it, without losing too much in terms of quality.

This does everything the steam deck can do and more due to it being full windows 11, game performance has been great. The only problem is the horrible battery life, be prepared to carry a battery pack or just stay close to an outlet.

It is a very good device. Great for playing pc games or really any kind of game on the go

Worried about SD slot problems and ASUS warranty issues. I get bad lag and every now and then when browsing. Great for low price though!

Pretty much runs everything I throw at it. I got it when it was on sale for 500$. Worth the purchase. Bought myself an 2230 2tb (130$) and a mod case (32$) (for extra cooling). The battery is the only issue, before you know it you need to charge (time flies when you enjoy something). But with the extra $ I bought a power bank (60$) lol. Almost the price of the ally x in total but... I got double the storage (of Ally x 1 TB) and much faster speed plus I can connect other things with my new power bank. I'd wait for the sale or go straight ally x if this one is not on sale.

This is amazing, runs all the games with little to no trouble, could work on the battery life but it’s first of its kind, looking forward to future models with improved battery performance

Excellent device. I wanted a handheld device that is powerful, quiet, and has a great screen. The ROG Ally checks all the boxes. I can casually game in pretty much any environment and do not have to worry about the fans getting obnoxiously loud. If you set yourself up with realistic expectations, this device is great. With that being said, don’t expect to be able to play on battery for several hours at a time and don’t expect a console like software experience. Running a AAA game on battery in a handheld device with a 7 inch screen on low to medium settings is pretty impressive for the technology that’s available today. Even if it’s only for an hour or two. Also it’s a windows machine so you will need to download your gaming platforms manually and setup like a windows device, but that should be expected.

Overall I am really enjoying my Asus Rog Ally extreme but it's not perfect. Pros : - Runs games I play such as Fortnite because it includes Windows 11. - Driver support is very good out of the box because it includes Windows 11. - If you get the optional charger/dock, the Ally doubles as a portable PC. Cons : - The Ally uses Windows tablet/touch mode which can range from annoying to infuriating. In some cases you need an external keyboard to set things up due to the virtual keyboard. - Battery life is bad. Don't expect to get more than an hour and a half of playing something like Fornite with it on just the battery.

Great handheld device, was deciding between this and the steam deck. Glad I went with the Ally, I prefer the versatility versus being confined to steam games only. With the ally, you're able to use different launchers such as xbox games, EA, and ubisoft to name a few. Of course, since it does run Windows 11 the Ally does support Steam as well. Also appreciate being able to add memory with a micro SD card since the Ally only comes with 500GB and games nowadays can take up more than 50GB per install. Only issue is battery life but that's expected due to the power draw of trying to run the latest games. If you're looking to play more than an hour on battery then this may not be the right fit. I don't mind it since I'm usually near an outlet but I could see how it can be annoying since it defeats the purpose of it being portable.

Amazing performance, great ergonomics, a blast to travel with

Love my ROG ally. As an older guy the screen is a bit small for me, but I found that using it like a portable game system and connecting it to tv or monitor is awesome. Just as powerful as a notebook but more compact.
