Customer Ratings & Reviews

100% would buy and recommend. Only downside is battery life, but bought it knowing for higher level games I’d probably need to have it plugged in, so I can’t really complain.

I am extremely satisfied with this product. It has an excellent screen, a fantastic operating system management center, powerful performance, and a comfortable grip. The speaker's performance is also highly satisfying. Overall, this is my favorite Windows handheld device.

Purchase rog ally because i can play my Xbox games online anywhere anytime when i go on long road trips and i differently recommend you guys to get one. This thing run amazing and also super fast.

As a steam deck user this is the next iteration. It's smaller, lighter and much better specd out while also being much more repairable. I managed to smash by thunbs ticks by dropping it from a table (they took the mpact and saved the screen). Cost 15$ and an ifixit kit and had it up and running in 30mins. Don't care much for the design though, have the RGB disabled and if there was a cleaner looking version I would have bought that. It was either purchase a new GU to upgrade my 1070 or this hand held and I have no regrets. Silicon has come such a long way that AAA games can be played at 60fps with great visuals and emulating my 360 collection means I can finally play classics not on steam/gog.

Excellent device. Haven’t been able to put it down since. Truly a magnificent experience as far as quality and visuals. Only knock is the battery life isn’t great but you’re getting triple A gaming in your hands.

When I bought this, I was expecting software updates to occur. Which is fine, I've used windows most of my life, and I'm OK with navigating Windows. But my problem was that It got stuck the deathloop right away after an update. After it was completed ANOTHER UPDATE had to be done and same thing, deathloop. Luckily holding the power button helped and didnt corrupt or brick the system. But it was a noticeable issue. After 15million updates later, I was able to install 4 games, 2 of the which it will not run, why? I have no idea as they are games that arent demanding at all. One was from xbox live pass, and another from steam. Maybe its those thats causing the issue, who knows. The other 2 games ran flawlessly, both from Steam. The plastic case makes it seem cheap and flimsy, and having the SD card next to the exaust and charger make it seem like it was thrown together, and the buttons and joystick feel cheap and easily breakable. To sum it up the exterior is way more underwhelming then I was hoping for, but the performance of this device is crazy for it being handheld. Once i got over the updates and deathloop Problem. that is also the 2 games i spent installing that refuse to run (they were wreckfest and ATS. the other 2 games that ran amazingly was nfs payback and cyberpunk 77. ) overall I feel like its going to be a love/hate relationship with this thing. Should i return it to prevent that? Lol

I've had this a little over a month now and have barely put it down. The amount of customization available lets me play almost anything I have or want on the device. Between emulation and connecting my steam, epic, and xbox game pass it is probably my favorite system now to play games on. Installing most games automatically adds them to the armourcrate app for extremely simple start ups, and have only ran into maybe 1 emulated game where the controls didn't automatically detect and work with the handheld inputs. While the battery life is far from great, it hasn't been an issue at all for me but for those wanting to use it away from any kind of power source it definitely should be kept in mind as depending on the game you can drain the battery in a couple hours.

Amazing little handheld device. I like feel of it and how well the games play. Can play fortnite on the go. Needs a bigger battery though and maybe tips to optimize the battery?

Coming from a Steam Deck OLED this for me is a much better device. It is basically a small laptop/tablet. I have no worries of games not being compatible, No fiddling or workarounds. Windows is much more familiar than Linux for the majority of users as well. Storage is enough as well, just manage your games, I don't play that many at once, just select few or I would lose focus. You can always upgrade the internal storage. The SD card problem is a thing but I am fine with it, Asus gave an extra year pf warranty by registering the device. 36 months total! I will just use the SD slot sparingly or not at all. I can move items via the USB-C option or wirelessly. Also, you can use One Drive or other similar cloud option to work with files. All in all, this is a great device but only if you get it on sale, not the full retail price of 600-700ish. It may go down in price permanently with the competitors coming out with new devices. You could definitely give it a try first and see if it fits your likes and needs.

I can’t say enough! This is easily the greatest handheld system I’ve ever owned. Xbox game pass plays great, steam works great, screen is awesome. If they fix the MicroSD card it’s unstoppable

I loved my ROG Ally, but it did have its fair share of hardware issues. The SD card slot, touch screen, and joysticks were problematic, making it less durable and somewhat inconvenient at times. However, when everything worked, it was an amazing device! I primarily used it to stream my Xbox and PlayStation games, which may have been overkill for its capabilities. For local games, I stuck to titles like Minecraft and Toontown, as competing in fast-paced games was difficult without a keyboard and mouse. Overall, I’m glad I got to experience being on the cutting edge of portable gaming. Unfortunately, due to the touchpad malfunction (a hardware issue), I’ll be using the Ally in docked mode going forward. Unless ASUS addresses these issues in future iterations, I’m likely to switch to Lenovo or OneXPlayer for my next handheld gaming device.

Amazin, good quality build, fast runing games, ergonomic in hands, nice screen resolution , with shorcut buttons . Recommend buy the case asus rog eith product to prevent storage scratch! .

It is a ton of fun to use and play games on. Like everyone else my SD Card Reader worked once and then died, but since I got it Open Box, and I knew that it would probably not work going in, that's fine.

Pretty good runs any game you can think of and it being portable is better

Portable pc at your hands! Works awesome I don’t have time to play my gaming pc now days as I’m always gone this has taken its place and let me catch up on my gaming while I’m away from home. 1080p mw2 at a consistent 80-90 Fps in the palm on your hands!

It is not a direct competitor to steam deck rather a handheld pc, while steam deck feels like a console for gaming. Screen is amazing, processing power is amazing. Battery life kind of sucks. Also Asus admitted it has a SD card bricking problem.

Very good travel game device, it’s a powerful handheld that can play almost every AAA game at 60fps. 120hz mode also is very smooth when you’re at 120fps and can smooth out frame-rates that jump up and down.

This thing runs flawlessly, and allows me to play anywhere. I love the comfort of handheld gaming with the power of PC gaming, even handled Skyrim with over 1000 mods! Hands down the best purchase ever.

As far as raw performance goes, it's hard to go wrong with the Ally. 8 cores/16 threads in the palm of your hand is frankly amazing. This is honestly one of my best computers. Windows is not great for handhelds (when portable) and the ASUS software leaves a lot to be desired in fixing that up. Armory Crate is fine as a basic launcher but as soon as you try to dig into settings/customization, everything falls apart. Would love to have seen some more R&D towards interface/input before this was released.

I bought open box. It's great, play genshin impact, GTA5 and Roblox. I have several games downloaded. Works great with mobile hotspot
