Customer Ratings & Reviews

Despite the poor battery life with the ROG Ally, it actually performs really well with modern AAA games. I've played a number of hardware heavy games on it, and all of them played well so far. The only con that Ive had personally would be the lack of a track pad, however it's not a huge negative. The setup for the ROG Ally was a but of hassel as I wasnt able to use the keyboard as it was a requirement to configure my wifi. Despite that, I was able to find a solution online which told me hold one of the mappable buttons on the back of the ally, while pressing up on the dpad to being it up. The ROG Ally has been great since its purchase and I enjoy it.

I've had the ROG ally for about a month now and it's been a very good device for taking my PC games on the go. It's very portable not too heavy and I actually like the thumbsticks on this compared to other devices. Some games I play on the ROG ally are destiny 2 , Titan fall 2, Skyrim, assassin's creed Odyssey, shovel knighr, and Warframe and it runs these games really well. It's easy to log into Windows with the fingerprint sensor and the speakers are really good quality. The thumbsticks are also good for first person shooter games and overall this is one of the best handheld PC's on the market when it comes to performance.

I love this hand held gaming device. I can play my games remotely. I have a portal as well but the online multiplayer was choppy using my PlayStation portal. I didn’t have that effect with the rog ally. I would recommend this product . It also is like a hand held computer allowing me to install apps and watch videos.

This is a great device as long as you know what you're doing. For example, you will likely need to adjust the VRAM allocated to the GPU and if you want to access the gyro functionality, you will have to use a third party program like HandHeld Companion. There is no dedicated interface like on the Steam Deck, but you can work around this by using Steam big picture (I wouldnt recommend using Armoury Crate to launch games). It is, however, a very powerful device and will run your games great, albeit on a short battery life.

I bought this for my fiancée and he absolutely loves it! Battery life isn’t the best but this thing is so fast and runs all his games perfectly. Very good quality, happy with my purchase.

This thing is amazing, I am able to play all my games on steam and on 1080p and everything looked crisp. I have the steamdeck but since steamdeck can only do 800p things look grainy so the ROG ally just looks better and is more powerful I love it!! The only drawback is the ergonomics are not as comfortable as the steamdeck and the battery.

Everything about this handheld gaming pc is awesome except for the battery life. You can expect about 90 min when gaming. I returned it for that reason but everything else is great. The screen looks great and the sound quality is amazing for its size….. if they made the battery swapable it would be the best handheld gaming device out there. If you will mostly play plugged in go for it - if you want it for trips or long times away from an outlet it dies pretty fast .

Once you have the 3 AAA games downloaded and maybe, MAYBE an indie game or 2 downloaded as well, you'll find yourself without storage for literally anything else. Putting that aside, the gaming experience is actually very nice! It's light enough to hold for the other major downfall, it's battery life. Looking real world about 1.5 hours. And to me that's just too the point of warming up lol.

It's a very powerful handheld pc . It plays everything you throw at it , but there is work involved especially setting it up over 2 weeks later im still fine tuning everything. If you don't likw to tinker this handheld isnt for you . Also my sd reader quite working but my micro sd works on the charging dock ( sold separately) with micro usb adapter . I think it's a design flaw where they put the sd reader . Other than that i love this thing with a 2 tb 2230 ssd m.2 gen 4 its worth upgrading but then your up around 900$ after taxes on hanheld then 110 for 1tb micro plus 220 for 3 year geek protection. I got arou d 12000 wrapped in this thing but i am happy. It's not for everyone i work away from home a week at a time .

The Ally is as cool as it looks. Running windows was a huge plus for me as I’m not as comfortable working with Linux. It does run games a lot better than the Steamdeck, but you have to realize it draws a lot more power to do so. Playing non demanding games: perfect, the battery will last a few hours for sure. Playing triple A games however… expect about an hour (or a little less) of solid gaming before your battery is dead. I usually play plugged in, whether it be the included charger or a battery pack, but I guess I was hoping for a bit more with the battery life.

The Asus Rog Ally is an amazing console. I used this console when I went to the Philippines and Japan and it was very useful because I didn’t need to bring my laptop ! The only downside to this product is that the battery life dies quickly which makes it hard to stay on a game because when I’m out I would need a plug to charge. But overall it is a great product that I’ve been using for the last few months !!

As a Day 1 buyer i can say ive been having alot of fun using the Asus Ally. Its a great device to have if you're a on the go gamer and might not have the time or luxury to sit down at home and unwind for a bit. The Ally has its flaws with Battery Life and the Micro SD slot, ill admit. My only gripe with the Ally is obviously the Battery Life, but thats expected on how much performance you can get out of it. I know most people just want to pick up the gaming device and have a smooth gaming experience which you absolutely can, it just takes a little more tinkering around with settings to get your preferred setup. Needless to say the Asus ally is a great product for both Casual and Hardcore gamers.

I've been using the ASUS ROG Ally for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with it. It's a great handheld gaming device that offers a lot of features and performance for the price. The Ally has a powerful AMD Ryzen 7 6800U processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, which can handle even the most demanding games at high settings. The 120Hz display is also very smooth and responsive. I also like the Ally's design. It's well-built and comfortable to hold. The controls are responsive and accurate. Overall, I think the ASUS ROG Ally is a great handheld gaming device. It's a great option for gamers who want a powerful and portable gaming system.

Great display, has some bugs that got ironed out. Runs games smoothly.

Been using this device for a while now and can honestly say that it’s fantastic, it handles AAA games like Elden Ring very well for a handheld. 4 stars because the battery is a little short and if you plan on using this with out plugging it in then it might be worth going for the new model.

I dig it. Has heat issues but performance has been great. Windows 11 is a drag in this format, but it is doable. Battery goes fast so use a plug!

Asus is known for its bad QC so each unit is different. I got a unit with no flaws from the factory. Screen is clear and crisp for a lcd screeen. Speakers are nice and loud. Downaloding games is easy cuz its laptop essentially. Set up is a mess and a lot of work. Keyboard doesnt pop up so you maybe need a usb c keyboard to get set up going. Bios and updates are not consistent so performance maybe dip or be affected. Games do play well once you get them up and running. Its not a great device but it is good. Don’t expect a gaming console expect a flawed gaming laptop.

Absolutely love this thing, have not put it down since I got it. Open box from Best buy was a great deal and everything worked perfect. The ally in my opinion is the best pick up and play device out of all of them. Everything just works, and it plays everything even current gen aaa games. My only complaint is battery life. You're absolutely not getting more than 2 hrs out of this thing I don't care what you read. Overall I highly recommend it.

I bought this randomly while I was looking for a way to starfield away from my Xbox while I was traveling. I've never been a PC gamer - always doing console stuff, but this thing makes it more "doable" for me. I had to update the driver's out of the box, but honestly, this is the equivalent of the console-of-the-day experience. It is a bit more involved but not a technical hurdle by any means. The machine is great..the screen is incredible. So much so that I don't even play on the Xbox Series X now. I play at 30w most of the time and just take the charger around with me. At 15w I can starfield for just over an hour. No complaints. Buy it and enjoy.

Starting off, I had a Steam Deck before this, and also got the Legion Go. At the end of the day, I prefer this Rog Ally for mobile gaming. Performance is great, Battery life is meh, but enough for a 1h+ session which is okay with me. Ergonomic is also great. I like how the triggers don't go too deep. Windows runs great, ans Asus software on top of it makes it quite easy to use as a handheld gaming device. My fear though is with the micro SD slot so I never tried using it.
