Customer Ratings & Reviews

Would be a full 5 stars if the battery lasted longer than 2 hours. Graphic and accessibility is great, I’m not a PC user but was able to get everything set up without a struggle.

Money well spent in my opinion, upgraded SSD to 1TB and away I went with zero problems. I'm loving everything about it, except for the battery life and portability but besides that great handheld in my book.

I was a little skeptical at first, but this does everything I could hope for in a handheld device minus cross platform licensing(which isn't Asus fault or problem to solve). I have fairly large hands and it's incredibly comfortable for me playing hours at a time. I read mixed reviews around the Armory Crate app, but I think it works great and love the ability to customize the buttons per game. I was also really surprised how quicky Windows 11 boots up on the device. The only real flaw I can find is the battery life, but it does recharge really quickly. I probably get a little over an hour of time before it's about dead. I just finished a playthrough of Uncharted Legacy of Thieves and it worked great, sometimes for hours at a time. Highly recommend!

Arrived just in time. Screen looks amazing, great performance and easy to use. I loved this devices, but it had a sticky X button that was getting stuck all the time. Besides that everything worked well.

Great machine runs world of warcraft with ease just dies within 2 hours of playing world of warcraft if not on charger bu5 if plug in even if gaming only take 45 mins - an hour to fully charge

Most of the issues you can see them on YouTube. I love the device since I travel for a living but wish the battery lasted longer. Since I upgraded the SSD to a 2TB there’s no need for the SD Card reader but mine failed and now trying to get some support from ASUS.

Performed excellent in games for a handheld device. Unfortunately has very short battery life, lasted only 50 minutes per full charge in 15 watt mode. This was done playing older games like GTA V, Skyrim, Risk of Rain 2, and some emulators. Very weak battery performance for a handheld when compared to Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Not a problem if you plan on playing plugged in all the time, but not great if you plan on using on the go a lot. Definitely need to invest in an external battery pack.

Love the device - it is not as powerful as a PC - want to stress this!! It runs alot of games great if you run them on lower settings!! Dont expext to run graphic intesive games with out some lag but overall i live it ran Spiderman Series was a blast, rum APEX no priblem awesome device!!

Recently bought this as a gift for my girlfriend so we could team up on PC games together. So far it has been a blast and works amazingly well. I had reservations but decided to grab it anyways and I'm not disappointed. If anything it works so amazingly well that I'm considering a second purchase for myself. We don't use it much for its wireless portability so other people might find their expectations dashed after trying it out. But if you are using it for travel and can plug it in it works great and doesn't seem to get too hot. I would recommend getting a docking station with a cooling fan though if you intended to play for long periods of time as it is a compact device. That's what we did and it runs really low temps for the most part.

Overall this is a great little system and performed well. No issues and the size is comfortable. It did get a bit hot and it was hard to navigate using the touchscreen due to how small it was, but it was manageable.

The product works great! I do love it. Just keep in mind it does have a short battery, other than that i love it.

The rog ally works perfectly and has a very good quality on the screen, in practically everything the controls are perfect for playing and also for desktop use, I recommend it.

Its looks nice and feels nice in my hands but the battery doesn't last long and the updates after updates and still updating the performance and system software and good luck trying to configure the M1 and M2 extra buttons in the back to be usable in games and this was the only reason why i bought this so i can play diablo 4 but other than that you can play games watch movies just like a small pc about the size of a game gear probably a tad bit longer lightweight keeps you warm in the cold oh im looking forward for the winter storm..

Do I wanna use this over the steam deck. Hmm, probably not. Its an impressive device. but it would have been more fun of the sides were removeable just like a Nintendo switch. slide in joysticks for games. Slide in a key pad and mouse combo for other stuffs. The gaming experience rivals the steam deck which could be gotten for a little over half the price. overpriced.. yes. this is for you if you want a strictly windows experience on a small screen. Also the joysticks don't make it useful for anything else than gaming. Not the brightest as a portable pc. 699 dollars will get you steam deck or an xbox or a ps5 or even a nice laptop if you have the time to deep search deals.

Purchased to play windows game. Would jump to 100C when running user benchmark. Thermals are very tight in this form factor. I would love to have windows 10 installed instead of windows 11. For what it is, it’s worthwhile. But battery last way too short to really be a functional on the go gaming handheld.

The ROG Ally is Flawed but ultimately shows the potential for this platform. I would not recommend buying this iteration and wait for the next version. I pre-ordered the ROG Ally and have been gaming on it since day one. It's been clear since I first turned it on that this is basically a beta product for Asus. From bios/software issues to hardware issues, this device needed more time in the oven before being released. One example, Asus released a bios update which drastically dropped the device performance and took weeks before they fixed this issue. Another example, there is a known issue where the SD card slot gets overheated potentially causing actual damage to the SD Card and/or the SD slot. Its not all doom and gloom, the screen is great, gaming on it is better than my steam deck. But I would recommend waiting a while to see if they fix the issues or wait until the V2 of this device comes out.

I do like the ROG Ally a lot. It is sleek and powerful and can play most of my games at decent settings. However, this first gen product from Asus has many flaws: 1) The SD card reader tends to fail very often (even with the latest updates) 2) The buttons sometimes get stuck 3) The joystick wears down quite easily because of the sharp edges of the RGB slot. You will find black paint in the RGB rings from the rubbing

A very good purchase in my opinion. I will say that if you are looking to buy one get the Z1 extreme. Also if you buy one it’s not an open the box and play as soon as you turn it on. What I would suggest is turn it on set it up Then restart it for it to update the new bios update. I can play MW3 and warzone smoothly and 90fps on turbo. Fortnite looks really good and runs smooth at 120fps. You can buy docks to set up a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to have a pc setup. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is looking for a good mobile gaming device with the options of doing a gaming pc. This is a pricey device so I would recommend a screen protector and case as well. You can pair Bluetooth headsets and Xbox and ps5 remotes to it as well as Bluetooth speakers.

Love the Ally. Works great. Like the title says I can play starfield. It plays well no stuttering or issues. You can't play at the higher graphic settings but it looks great on the 7 inch screen.

Powerful and Portable. It gets the job done. But, don't mistaken it to be on par with an actual gaming PC. I don't game heavily so this is perfect for me.
