Customer Ratings & Reviews

Plays every AAA game very well. Best of all, you can lower the resolution (since the display is so small) or enable FSR and you can't even tell really unless you are looking closely. Boots up in seconds and can load into a game within a minute or two from booting up.

This is a very good device. I bought it as a gift for my husband and he loves it.

Great product! I initially got this because I don’t have the time commitment to buy and use a full gaming PC. This was a great alternative, and it’s easy to use on the go. Although it runs windows 11 so the random pop ups do get annoying.

You need to have a good understanding of how to use and troubleshoot Windows 11, but this thing is a beast for techies. Be prepared to do all the updates out of the box. Patience pays off as this thing is an amazing PC gaming device and a huge upgrade over other handhelds like the steam deck. It wont disappoint.

This thing is a beast when your playing a game at 120 frames, 1080p display, medium to high settings, it the mobile market this is unmatched. I for one did not mind the windows 11 bc armored crate works good. The biggest problem is that you can only play for 30-40 minutes while using the power the rog ally provides. Sure you can be plugged in but then might as well play your pc or console instead and if i have to drop the settings fown i preffer to play my steamdeck which configures stuff for you and 100% feels like a mobile console.

I have both a deck and this device and though the deck is better at a lot of things this devices screen and power make it great for things that won't or dont run well on the deck. The down side is that the deck was built around its os and this is running windows 11 and itis really its bigest down fall.

Great device is good when you work off and would like to play

Great handheld for gaming! Just wish the micro sd port didn’t kill my sd cards. Other than some minor tweaks and issues, this thing is great.

Perfect for me. I can see someone who is not familiar with Windows 11 having issues setting up or dialing in. But for me, i have no issues getting into the weeds with Windows 11 and Armory Crate. In the end, I love the product and how it performs.

You will see positive and negative reviews on this item. But coming from over 30 hours of game play on it I can tell you I’m my opinion this thing is amazing. Plays titles live call of duty madden rust with ease. No hassle to setup either and no hoops to go through to try to get stuff to play like on steam deck

Impressive device for the money. Don’t get me wrong you can get a lot more function out of a pc at this price point but as far as handhelds go this thing is very powerful. The reason I can’t give it 5 stars is QC. I’ve had fan wine and more recently my SD card slot has fried (as most people with these units have experienced). I’m hoping to return this unit under the manufacturers warranty and purchase something else. If you have money to blow and don’t care about those issues it’s a great unit. However I’m going to be searching for something with more longevity even at the cost of performance.

Good handheld system reall no complaints. If you are running some of the more intense games it does get a little glitchy but with a handheld thats kinda expected. Would buy again. So far ive played jedi survivor, need for speed and madden all ran excellent.

After getting through the initial Windows set up and updating The machine, the GPU and Core armory this machine handles all my games like a champ. the higher resolution than other handhelds is nice.

For most, there are a few things you need to learn to get a handle of this device. Though when you do, this machine is capable of whatever you want. I hope ROG keeps at it with updates and hope more people hope on the PC handheld train!

This is not a steam deck. This is a full windows pc, so setup isn’t as easy as a steam deck but the capability is far greater. Plug it into a dock and you have a mobile gaming handheld that can do all of your normal pc task

Absolutely awesome. Words can’t describe how much I love this handheld works wonders

Absolutely amazing. Pretty much runs everything I throw at it at 1080p 60+ fps with some tweaking. Been playing red dead redemption 2 and FF7 remake for a second run and it’s been absolutely epic to play on a handheld. Completely new experience.

The software is not the most user friendly, especially if you're a life-long console player, but I think this area will improve as users become more educated and as Asus continues updating. The analog sticks are looser than I like, but I've already gotten used to it. I'm happy with all other controls and like circular d-pads in general. I don't write reviews, but the #1 reason why I wanted to write this one is because I have rarely owned a handheld where I didn't need a grip. This is one of the most comfortable out-of-box hardware designs I've ever experienced, and I have lots of classic and modern handhelds. The neo geo pocket might be on this level, but no mainstream modern handheld compares. At first glance, it looks like the sharp edges may cut into your palm, but it looks much sharper than it feels (hard to explain).

Really enjoying this device. Plays AAA games without a hitch when you tweak the settings and set your TDP manually. Have had a few issues - mostly windows related - but youtube helped me clear those up and find an 18W TDP that is a good compromise of performance and battery. Overall a win in my book.

Way better than the steam deck interms of everything. The controlls for surfing the web is like using a phone and not to mention how easy it is to just download a game launch it and switch to controller mode. All the reviewers on youtube who say windows sucks are just a bunch of nerds looking at 4 fps difference
