Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using the ROG Ally for a few months, and it's become my go-to gaming device. The Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor handles demanding games with ease, and the 120Hz display makes everything look smooth. It's comfortable to hold, the battery life is decent, and the ability to connect to a TV or external monitor is a huge plus. Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with the ROG Ally and would highly recommend it to any PC gamer.

I like the weight and sleekness compared to the Steam Deck. The screen also is where this item shines. Don’t expect this to be a console; Limit your expectations and understand this is meant to be a portable handheld! :)

Excellent size to power ratio. Can run up to latest AAA games, may be difficult to play newer games coming out. If you are somewhat tech savvy, tweaking setting can yield best results with latest games. Get on sale, best deal for powerful handheld gaming.

This is very nice, great graphics but low batt life. Would recommend if you’re into less demanding games because battery life when running more demanding games seems to deteriorate quickly.

Was able to buy an open box model. However after a couple days of tweaking/updating it and trying out some of my favorite games, I have decided to return it. DISCLAIMER: this thing is AWESOME. It is a full fledged computer in every sense and even better! I already own a perfectly fine gaming PC, and don’t care to go through the necessary setup with this, just to occasionally play it. PC gaming is still very keyboard/mouse dependent, but from what I’ve seen with docks the Rog Ally is 100% capable of that. Something like this (perhaps a newer version), May very likely be my next PC. The 4nm chip architecture has half the performance of my gaming PC, and with less than 50watts to power it!! Absolutely amazing! Again, just not for me at this time.

Rog Ally is a next generation when compared to the Steam Deck. Although, Windows is buggy and annoying at a times but you get so many options to do with your handheld without the need of dealing with errors if you choose to install games from various platforms (GOG, Epic, EA, etc). However, if you like using docking stations (TV connection), Rog Ally isn’t seamless compared to steam deck. An update could fix that. For me, the screen itself in Rog Ally is a worthy upgrade. I upgraded the 512gb to 2Tb before I even started using it. It’s the best handheld gaming device in the market.

Looks cool, works great. Has ran every game i have thrown at it so far, with little to no tinkering with settings. Battery life is short, but thats expected with so much power in a small package.

Great mobile option when not at your battlestation. Having a job where travel is often, it’s more convenient than a laptop and offers more games than the switch.

ok, I have both the Steam Deck and the Rog Ally. Both are similar in size, and have the same screen size, resolution, and storage. that's where the similarities end. Here is where the Rog Ally excels over the Steam Deck. 1: ability to adjust and customize the GPU settings. can't adjust the GPU settings on the Steam Deck. 2: ability to play all Steam games. Steam Deck is still having compatibility issues. 3: recognizes external storage devices like thumb drives. Steam Deck does not. 4: full version of Windows 11 all in all a much better and more versatile unit than the Steam Deck.

Still love it. Works great. Best Buy price matched me the week I bought it cuz it went on sale the same week.

Absolutely everything I was looking for. The battery isn’t the greatest, but I stay close to an outlet most of the time anyways.

Very cool handheld PC. It really is a PC. The unit does get a little hot after an hour or more of usage. Very cool for getting your gaming fix while on the road. Great for frequent travelers.

ROG Ally is the best gaming handheld ive owned. I have the Steam Deck and the Ally and i pick up the Ally almost everytime for handheld gaming. The Steam Deck is a more comfortable grip but the Ally is so much more versatile. I play all kinds of games and the Ally can handle all of them. It takes some tweaking to get your games set up right but there are so many guides out there for specific game settings. 10/10 would recommend. Cant wait to see what ROG will do next for handheld gaming

The good - it's a nice piece of hardware for the price. It quite literally will run aaa games usually on low-mid settings (still looks great on the small screen) windows is not as bad to deal with on the handheld as some say (if you're not looking for the console experience the steam deck provides). The bad - the buttons and joysticks don't feel aaa, they feel like a well built but generic brand controller, think powera or whoever makes the decent off brand Nintendo stuff. And as everyone else has said, setup is a pain to get everything updated and running correctly.

Where do I start? This thing really has been my ALLY since I purchased it. I was waiting for Dell to drop the UFO but Asus got the jump on them and made all the things I wanted about a handheld come true that the steam deck just didn't have. Full windows 11 with microsofts blessing + support, constant driver upgrades to enchance the performance, inverted thumbsticks, beefier hardware, a 1080p 120hz freesync display with 100% SRGB coverage, and all the AMD goodies baked in like like the 720p to 1080p resampling that gives you insane fps boosts on a handheld like this. I've had a blast using a mouse and keyboard with this thing at work on my breaks, and often I use itas my main work PC! Can't recommend it enough!

Ive been in the market for a handheld like this for quite sometime.. Ive done much research on the ROG Ally and the Steam Deck and you cant compare it to the steam deck the steam deck is a linux based handheld that runs specific games basically SteamOS. However the ROG Ally is running a full version of windows 11 and that alone tells you what kind of games you can play. Its also running a Z1 Extreme processor and withs its built in APU I’m running Starfield at between 30-50 FPS on medium settings. I love this purchase.. so long switch.

This product is wonderful. From a gamer that likes to game freely no matter the circumstance, the ROG Ally is a must. The ROG Ally creates unlimited possibility. Full set-up, on-the-go, on the couch while watching a movie, on a camping trip, etc. The possibilities of gaming are limited only to your lifestyle & creativity.

like all handhelds battery lacks longevity the asus rog ally is a very powerful gaming hand held so it makes sense the battery doesnt last long but is my only comolain about the whole thing i love the versatility being avke to play steam xbox epic it opens up the gaming catalogue available to you by ten fold checking your email surfing the web listening to music and waching videos ..truely amazing but buy a back up power bank

love it. it runs any game i throw at it. it’s gotten me back into gaming again. and it can be docked to w monitor to use as a full on PC

I have used the Ally about 10 times over the course of the last 4 weeks. When it loads up a game, it looks great and runs fast. The battery life is lacking for a "portable" device. It has needed an OS update every 2-3 uses. It hasn't caused an issue in some games, but I have had issues running a couple of games. Controls feel a little clunky and I have bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use with it. I would probably purchase it again, but not at this price point.
