Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works fine, quality is very good and can run most games as well as a PC.

super nice screen, can play all the games i want with good performance.

I liked that it came with windows 11 on it unlike the steam deck but the things i dont like about the rog ally is the fans are somewhat loud and sometimes the battery doesnt charge to 100% and it has issues turning on or off sometimes and the grip on it doesnt feel comfortable

For $450 with free travel case, I believe this is the best deal currently on one of these handheld gaming consoles. You get the Z1 Extreme processor and 512gb of ssd storage so it will hold a decent bit of games and actually be able to run them. Order a $50 micro sd card and you can easily add an additional tb of storage. So far, I love it. However keep in mind the limitations of APUs in general. While I’ve yet to boot up a game it wouldn’t run, you may have to turn settings down and more than likely rely on some of the AMD upscaling features such as FSR, RSR, and ASMF

IMO this is better than steam deck as it can do and play more games. I personally have not had any problems running anything that has controller support. As long as you understand windows and understand this is not a console but is a full pc you will have a great time with the Ally

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with the ROG Ally. The fact that it runs on Windows 11 on top of good hardware not only makes it a fantastic handheld but also a potentially very competent desktop replacement. Especially, if you get the (very pricey) XG Mobile. With easy compatibility across multiple platforms, this is easily the best handheld of 2023 so far.

The best portable Gaming PC. It has all the features I need.

It came like new. In the box, perfect condition. I saved a lot with the discounted price.

I like using this when I am traveling. It has been great overall and no problems with it. I don't use it as often as I thought I would but that just comes down to me using a console when I am at home.

The gadget i was looking for... This thing is a beast for gaming really had no issues so far... Love the fact i can sit in bed and just game... Saving my pennies up and uping it to a bigger ssd so i dont need a external drive to play all my retro gaming... But overall great device

Love it! If you are into gaming, Gett this. I do recommend getting a mouse and keyboard combo that you can plug in using Bluetooth or a dongle. This will allow you to navigate like you would a Windows PC. The touchscreen is okay but if you are going to do a lot of personalization, you will want the keyboard/mouse combo.

I love this portable handheld, I use it with a dock to connect to my TV and a wireless controller and I have a game console that will run windows. I also use the dock to connect a keyboard and mouse and I am able to complete work tasks as well. Highly recommend. Cant wait for ROG ally 2

This is a very good handheld as long as you realize the power comes with poor battery life. You will have your regular windows bugs since its basically a mini pc. The price is very good for the power that you get. If you want an xbox handheld this is the closest you will probably get.

Overall it is a solid product that meets my expectations. I am using it as a portable gaming machine that I can plug into my 32-inch monitor at any time I would recommend this product but do remember this is not a high-end gaming machine, it does have its limitations.

It surpassed my expectations as I regularly game on a desktop gaming rig. This thing is a little powerhouse. It runs my entire library on the go. The picture looks fantastic. Easy navigation and controls, and runs on Windows. It fits great in my hands, and the touch screen is a bonus. 10/10 for me.

Love love love my ROG Ally. I’m writing this review after having it now almost four months. I haven’t had any issues like some others have had with the SD card etc. It’s amazing to be able to play games like Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Baldurs Gate 3 at 1080p and medium to high settings and having it run smoothly.

Having owned the Steam Deck and the original Aya Neo I must say with regret that the Rog Ally has not lived up to my expectations. I was looking forward for a replacement for my Aya Neo which I've had since the first orders of the Indiegogo campaign shipped back in covid days, but after just 24 hours of ownership I am leaning towards returning it. The biggest deal-breaker for me is the lack of a dedicated USB-C port so I charge the unit while transferring data from external drives. This is also the reason why I sold my Steam Deck. Because all my Steam collection is backed up to an external SSD and I am finding myself having close to zero battery left after restoring only a few of my backups which are 100GB+ each. The ASUS armory crate is also a major hindrance. Yes, I know I can always uninstall it, but I prefer having the option to cycle TDP profiles in-game without using something like Ryzen Controller. While it's open, I found many cases where I could not use the web browser because the hitting the enter key on the virtual keyboard would cycle through the TDP profiles instead of acting as the enter key (i.e.: opening URLs). Performance-wise it does not feel a lot faster than my Aya neo which has the aging Ryzen 5 4500U soc. In games like FH5, even with FSR turned on with 720p and medium details, I get major intermittent stutters while running at 60fps that make the game annoying to play. MSI afterburner doesn't even register then FPS drop, it is that quick, but it's like the game rendering stops for a few hundreds milliseconds. My Aya doesn't do that! Having Windows 11 on it is also a big negative, not Windows in general which I appreciate over Linux as my biggest game collection is on GoG. It took a few hours to get all the Windows 11 updates downloaded and installed, not to mention the bloatware (Office, Teams???) and the occasional popups that get in the way and typical for an adware OS. Then there's the battery, see above. It does have some good things going for it. Compared to the Aya the build quality is better, the screen is also better despite being smaller, colors are more vivid and the sound is more crisp. The cooling system is also a lot less noisier than of the Aya Neo which almost always runs at full speed when in-game. The BIOS looks to be straight port from a ROG PC motherboard version which is also very nicely integrated with the touch screen and the buttons. The screen is also native horizontal. On the Aya a lot of older games start in portrait mode and try maneuvering the BIOS menu or the Windows installer in portrait mode... all without any input support, yikes! I can not recommend it though. I was really hoping for a an alternative to the Steam Deck, or the Aya, but unfortunately looks like Chinese companies like GPD, Aya seem to make handhelds that better serve my needs.

Great handheld amazing performance The only thing I have to say bad about it is I prefer the handheld with track pads

When I got my steam deck last year I was blown away at what the device could when it came to running nor only new games but emulation. After spending a little over a week with the Rog Ally, it makes tge dwck obsolete, just like the steam deck made the switch obsolete. What a beast of a handheld and also a beautiful one as well. And it will only get better with time.

I have had the ROG Ally for over a month now and it is fantastic. I have not had any issues with it and the performance for how compact it is great. I did upgrade the NvME drive to a 2TB a few days after owning. I own a Steam Deck as well and is good but it cannot do things the ROG Ally can do. I can easily recommend this device to anyone on the fence.
