Customer Ratings & Reviews

Low battery life. Decent performance with charging. Note: RMA sucks for openbox.

I’ve been having handhelds since the game boy so I know how far the handheld gaming industry has come. If you are new to PC make sure you watch as many videos as possible. It can be a bit tricky for a novice with no patience. It can run anything thrown at in and has ton of customization. Main drawbacks are the battery(which is to kinda be expected), not the greatest thumb sticks in the world( you get use to them, and eventually someone will come out with 3rd party ones). I mean it truly is a handheld gaming pc. Have some patience with it and you should enjoy this ride as I am. PS….My wife loves it and she never liked gaming at all!

It overheats very quickly. Also can play for about an hour and then have to shut it down.

If you enjoy pc gaming and all the headaches that come with it, but want that on the go then this machine was built for you. I LOVE my RoG Ally. I get to play all my steam games, all the available Xbox gamepass games, AND emulation. Sign me up.. also look up on YouTube on how you can connect remotely to your PS5, there's something to be said about being able to play God of War Ragnarok and Starfield while dropping a deuce.

really cool portable gaming pc quality is good and the softwares are super good so far no issue and it runs most of my steam games

Amazing. Have a library of PC games that I have not been able to play due to time constraints, kids and work etc. So being able to play on the go with this portable beast is a pleasure. Armoury crate seems to work very well, would take some of the critic reviews with a pinch of salt since they are mostly outdated with the number of updates that Asus have been delivering. There has been an issue with the SD card, it did seem strange that the bios I was running would allow the system to run at 90C. I purposely avoided this and since they have released an updated bios that runs with much louder fan profile and lower temperatures

As a dad of 3 kids who wont alliw me time to sit at my PC this is a godsend. it has some drawbacks compared to the Ally X but for what i need it for it more than exceeds expectations. simple enough for kids to use and can be even used as a streaming PC. good stuff.

ROG Ally runs games very well, shocking for a handheld. Does tend to warm up a little when playing a high graphics. Buttons feel good and responsive. Overall really good handheld

Great platform. Set the standard for others. I'd definitely purchase again in the future. It runs a bit hot, but to be expected for first gen. Honestly it's worth the money.

I owned a Steam Deck before the Ally, and I can honestly say I haven’t used my Steam Deck since then. I liked the console feel of the Steam Deck but Linux does have its limitations. The Ally on the other hand can handle most if not all the games in my Steam and Epic Games Library with ease, especially if you configure everything down to the recommended specs. Windows can be a little convoluted but once you update and adjust everything to your liking I feel that it’s a pretty solid handheld PC. Give it a week and you won’t regret your decision :)

Good handheld unit. Plays my games and is also a great handheld PC to watch YouTube and videos. I would recommend if you are looking for a handheld product that is similar. One downside is this market is moving so fast that this seems to be last years model with new models coming out. It still does what I want it to do.

The initial startup is kind of a mess. Keyboard didnt work when connection to wifi so i had to use a dongle and hook up an actual keyboard. 2+ hours of updating just to get everything up to date. I really love the design of this handheld, but software needs way more work. Performance is fine, though i wish it was better. Its a neat device but if you alreadyhave a steam deck just keep that. I personally dont think this is worth the upgrade. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone who doesnt like tinkering!

I am aware of a few issues that others are having with this device in the forums, but I have had a blast using this powerful little computer since launch. Not many performance issues at all, graphics are beautiful, and the ergonomics are the best of any handheld gaming device I've used. Also, the design is absolutely the best of any device on the market right now. Great buy, would highly recommend for anyone who wants to play Game Pass or Steam games on the go or in bed!

I have the Asus ROG ally and the steam deck. I love both because there's room for both of them if your are a gamer in my opinion. The things that separates the ROG Ally are the 120hz resolution and windows capabilities of playing all PC games. I didn't give 5 stars due having issues with my 1tb micro SD card after a few days, the issue unfortunately does exist. I did install a 2tb SSD card to over come the previous complaint. Overall The Asus ROG Ally is a great quality portable gaming PC.

You must change your in-game settings to fullscreen and 720p. Then, make sure you push the little physical button on the right to bring up the overlay menu and make sure RSR is enabled. Your game will run at the at 720p upscaled to 1080p and you will get significantly better FPS since the gpu is only actually rendering 720p. This is how you get better FPS. Using this method, I was playing Tom Clancy's The Division 2 on "High" settings and getting 60+ FPS consistently. I did notice a few dips on the FPS when I was in-game in an outdoor environment and it was raining for example but it was barely noticeable since the screen has VRR.

I have been using it on steam and xbox with no issues with gameplay and feels good but put in mind that its a handheld so it wont run on the highest settings and playing AAA games will make the battery die faster but wont take long to recharge it. My only issue is when i got it, it was dead and while on charger and starting it up the keyboard wouldnt work till i restarted it again and it overheated while on charger the first time but was good after so idk if it was just me or device issue. only had it for 2 days with no other issue and have been using it nonstop but im not someone who has other devices like steamdeck to compare it too.

I love this thing. There was nothing more cool than playing PC games on the go. The best part is the Windows emulation. It feels like a mini-laptop with you on the go. I returned it ultimately because it just did not feel comfortable it my small hands :(

Amazing handheld! Runs cod at 100 fps, fort 150+ fps, hogwarts legacy around 90 fps. This handheld can run pretty much any triple A game title on low settings.

Really like this product overall. Allows me to play games mobile and has a strong performance.

Was very hard to use and set up, basically a handheld PC with good graphics, don't care for the touch screen typing only, seemed to run warm when updating. Overall was ok for what it offers
