Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm seriously impressed with the ASUS ROG Ally handheld. This thing is a game-changer, and I'm not even exaggerating. The graphics are mind-blowing for a handheld device – it's like having a mini gaming PC in my hands. And guess what? It charges crazy fast too. No more waiting around to get back into action. The controls are buttery smooth, and I've lost track of time just diving into games on this thing. Plus, the design is just top-notch. It's sleek, it's modern, and it feels great to hold. Seriously, if you're into handheld gaming, the ASUS ROG Ally is where it's at. It's like ASUS read our minds and delivered the goods. Fast charging, killer graphics, and pure gaming awesomeness – what's not to love?

Great machine. I do wish it was a little less bulky. Other than that, for the price and portability aspect, this machine is great. Plays a decent chunk of old and new games

I bought one at launch and returned due to issues, gave a refurb a go and will be returning also due to issues, but the software and BIOS updates have been nothing short of amazing - and this is ASUS we're talking about, who make some of the absolutely worst software inflicted on the PC industry. I disable the auto-install of armory crate on my motherboard but the ally variant is solid. I am pleading with you ASUS, hall effect sticks and 32GB at max speed for the Z2 Extreme variant and it'll be an absolute success.

Let me just say this is one one the most innovative pieces of tech in a long time.High end gaming at the palm of your hands!Will require alot of updates at first but once you get past that its truly a joy to play...

Overall a great device. If you want a device with no restrictions and no compatible issues and with awesome power for a handheld then this if for you. just beware of normal windows problems. Don't expect to have a smooth console like experience with this device like the steamdeck. There are lots of pros with this device as well as lots of cons. Just be sure that the pros outweight the cons for your specific use case.

Armory crate is a bit annoying from time to time but all in all this is a powerful little PC as portable as a Switch.

One of the best purchases I've made in a while, if you're looking for something to travel or walk around the house and game. It works perfect. Also, if you get the dock it works great as a gaming computer.

It's a good concept but until the chips are more powerful or you are a console gamer it's really jarring going from 75-120hz down to 35 and then even worse when even on simple games like Super Mega Baseball you unplug it and the FPS tanks to 25 so you have to turn it up to consume 25-30w to get a stable 30 with lowered settings and using upscaling (RSR driver level) which chews through the battery. Build quality was okay. Needs a stand that isn't made of cardboard especially on the Extreme model at 650 bucks IF you find it on Sale after tax.. Can't have a Switch like stand or at least on made of plastic? This is a bit nit picky as you buy it for handheld mode but I'll give it that it has decent cord length but it's just not ready. Wish Nvidia would make one with an Arm chip and GPU with Tensor cores to use DLSS upscaling so at least you get decent upscaling. May look into the Claw since it has XESS but it lacks the support of DLSS. Also I saw the cpu running under 1ghz at 25w mode and it was what was holding back the game. AMD has a ways to go on APUs still for handheld at least. Performance plugged in is night and day from unplugged even turning the power up all the way won't be as stable on battery and its noticable. Couldn't get Cyberpunk playing at low Steam Deck settings at a stable 30fps at 720p either even on wall power without it so aggressively upscaled you can't make heads or tails of what's going on.

i been using it since i got it and everything that i do the rog ally can handle it i really love that i also been playing heavy games and it taking it like nothing i really recommend it

Great for on the go or if your traveling. You can connect to a TV or monitor or play handheld. Games are pretty graphic and sweet.

Excellent little on the go setup. Surprised the capability to run large developer games. You aren't missing a thing gaming wise with this.

I love it ! I like the system and it connects to my steam library. Im able to change fps, and all those specs as needed. Battery runs out in 2 hrs at lowest settings with battery saver. The system charges fully within 1 hr. Good for light and occasional gaming. I ran ff7 remake on lowest setting and graphics were still impressive !

Great device for on the go gaming. Good performance for the price. Battery life could be better but it's okay.

This thing still blows my mind, and I've had it for a week. Just downloaded battlefield 2042 yesterday, and it plays it so well. I'm blown away at how convenient tech has gotten.

It runs everything very well, has a pretty good battery life. The storage is only 450 gig which is fine for the device, Im going to upgrade mine soon but overall a great device

Absolutely everything I wanted and more. Yes, the battery life leaves something to be desired, but I haven’t glitched out of any games. I have played Overwatch 2 online with no lag +60 FPS. Can’t wait for more!

Love it. Having seen the pre-release reviews i was nervous, but so far it has met or exceeded everything i want it to do. Just wish the battery lasted longer.

I've had my rog for about 3 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I'm not really a PC person - at least not right now - so getting a rog makes a ton of sense as my other "nintendo switch". I've also expanded the internal SSD so now I have approximately 2TB of storage instead of the original storage amount, and that makes a ton of difference! It does what it says and that's a wonderful thing. After upgrades and updates, I can control my mouse freely with my right stick and some keys - that's a nice little touch. If you happen to grab one that's open box but in great condition - like I did - it's 100% worth the money.

Much more difficult to use than the Steam Deck due to this running Windows 11. If you can get over the inconvenience of trying to run Windows 11 on a handheld device with no keyboard or mouse and on a very small screen, then yes you can do more than a Steam Deck. Other than that, the Steam Deck OLED has much better battery life, is easier to use, and doesn't require a TON of updates out of the box. Asus' Armoury Crate software is NOT designed for this machine, and I had to factory reset the device twice while trying to get the necessary firmware updates installed due to the software crashing mid-update. Also, any device manufactured in 2023 is likely to suffer joystick issues, so buyer-beware as Asus says they will cover it but has been known to deny coverage if you even opened the device to, say, install more storage. Oh, and don't forget about the SD card slot issues with it being right next to the fan exhaust!

An amazing piece of computer engineering it runs games great and for how compact it is it put up a pretty good fight as a gaming “computer”
