Customer Ratings & Reviews

Where do you go to demo and play the best handheld gaming device? Best Buy every day of the week! Love the device and trying it out before buying.

I was able to get this on sale for $599. So far it has worked flawlessly and received a number of updates to improve its operation. Highly recommend its use for Steam Big Picture Mode, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Moonlight, Chiaki (PlayStation streaming) and Retro Gaming. With a dock it can easily be a solid desktop computer with similar specs to what you could get in a gaming desktop of similar price but you also get the option for portability or couch/bed play time.

Blows my steam deck out of the water. As long as you treat it as a PC, as far as installing all updates, it has been absolutely wonderful. I'm okay with a 1.5 hours battery due to the performance I get.

I have wanted the steam deck for awhile and then followed the ROG ally news. This thing is a beast, its powerful, its mostly quiet, it doesn't run super hot, its comfortable to hold. Runnings full windows to some is a negative but the interface works very well when using the asus software. Battery life is about what you would expect running a portable PC. Diablo 4 for 1.5 hours took me from 100% to 54% (so approximately 3 hours) the charger though gets this thing topped off rather quickly. Oberall my experience has been super positive. Negative reviews seem to be based off the company vs the product. If you want a portable PC this thing is the way to go, the specs alone will make this thing relevant for years.

Fun. Agile. As promised. Very pleased. I do get concerned about possible over heating, but haven’t had any issues.

I bought this “open box excellent” and it didnt work out of the box. Was stuck with the log in screen despite all the trouble shooting I did. Exchanged it for another one which ended up needing servicing 15 days in (so was unable to return or exchange). Got it working fine now. Its a bit of a finnicky device, but its able to play games well and can do a lot. Battery life is short so dont expect long sessions.

got it open box and i has been amazing, runs games nice and since its windows you can play basically anything on it.

Good product, setup was challenging but once it’s set it plays well

I've thoroughly enjoyed this product. I recommend it to anyone considering Steam Deck.

Considering some mid tier GPUs are $600-700, this is a great buy for portable gaming. I'll probably mostly use it for emulation but it's nice to know I can play modern games on the go with 60+ fps.

Really good handheld. Has been able to handle any game ive tried so far. My only complaint is that the sd card reader wont read my sd card.

I bought the ROG Ally for my father. Its already setup and just requires a steam download to get going. He enjoys playing MW3 a lot!

Absolutely loving it cuz I'm able to play some of my favorite games on the go or on the big screen if I needed to that normally you can't do on other devices.

Very nice handheld laptop. A few kinks I think they resolved with early bios updates. Battery life and overheating can be an issue if misused.

Great device! Having already owned the steam deck, I was curious if this was any better, and it definitely is in ways that are important to ME. The handheld experience is similar to the steam deck with the exception being the ally has higher frame rates in certain titles. Where this device really shines for me is in docked mode, I was planning to build a second PC for my wife or when I have a friend come over, but I was curious about this device being able to fill that role. It blew my expectations out of the water! COD, Valorant, Valheim all play extremely well. My friend came over recently and we played rust for 5-6 hrs and it performed like a champ. I am very happy with this purchase.

Best handheld on the market hands down! Makes this a perfrct mobile pc replacement with a bunch of accessories available as well!! Cant wait for future handhelds!!

I've actually played with it more than my steamdeck, Aya neo and Aya neo air combined. Just the feel and comfort also with its lightweight nature and the ease of tdp controls, controller settings, brightness with the reach of my thumb is very convenient, making my gaming experience a whole lot easier. I started with the Aya Neo 2 years ago so my personal experience with the battery compared to Ally is very acceptable. We are still years away in having the technology for battery optimization. Ppl should stop complaining about battery life. It doesn't even get that hot, if anything my Aya neo and Aya neo air runs a lot hotter and the heat dissipation is actually not bad. Please read manual before use.

Great product the only thing is the battery dies kind of quick while gaming. It could also have a little more storage.

Fun but gets hot sometimes from continuous playing. Battery life isn’t so great if playing high performance or turbo mode

Battery life is not blvery good, but device is powerful . It can play most triple A games at least 60fps.
