Customer Ratings & Reviews

Soo, crazy thing I did was sold my main gaming rig and got this instead due to me having a newborn and needed some extra room plus I don't have time to sit on my desk anymore not with a baby so this little handheld really has blown me away when it came mes to performance and portability. Just absolutely joy to play on this thing! It basically became my destiny 2/diablo iv/PC gamepass machine! No regrets at getting rid of my gaming PC. Good job, ASUS! If you're a gamer dad, I highly suggest picking one up and you won't be disappointed!

I actually really love this system, compared to the steam deck where I could play pc games, modding the steam deck to get different apps and programs wasn’t something I was up for, so I’m glad I got this instead, it’s so much more easier, and the rgb lights, chiefs kiss!

I recently purchased the ASUS ROG Ally, and it's an outstanding device. The performance is top-notch, handling demanding games with ease. The display is vibrant and crisp, enhancing the gaming experience. Its design is sleek and comfortable for long sessions. The customizable RGB lighting is a nice touch. Highly recommended for serious gamers!

This device is my life. I use it for everything and bring it everywhere. It’s more powerful than I had expected it to be. The battery options are a lifesaver. When docked I set it to turbo and when I’m on the go I set it to quiet and the battery lasts longer than expected. I did have to send it in for support for the SD card reader. But it was repaired and sent back within a week.

a tiny powerful handheld PC that is only bothered by short battery life and how awful Windows 11 is as a touch screen operating system at this small scale. But paired with the right accessories and some battery packs. This mobie gaming device is amaizing! get 40 fps or more on lots of AAA titles and plays indies with ease.

This console truly is amazing, i was skeptical at first but it really can do more than just mid-high level gaming. Once paired up with a mouse and keyboard, you have yourself a reasonably priced hybrid machine. Emulations and asus rog ally go hand in hand. If you get specific peripherals, it also turns into an amazing gaming 4k 60fps gaming machine. Besdies the battery life, everything else is amazing. You also have consistent firmware updates which shows promise of continued support. So far, I truly have no complaints.

If you want to game on the go and play pretty much anything out there this is the way to go. It feels go in the hand, and it's well made. The screen is a good size and looks good even if it's not OLED.

Definitely the best handheld out there. I have since upgraded to the Ally X, but still stand by my decision to give this system 5/5 stars. I have been able to run every game flawlessly. The battery is good for quick flights and road trips (but make sure you bring your charger and possibly a large capacity power bank).

Solid performance for size. Great screen with variable refresh rate support. Really good use of Dolby Atmos on the speakers or with headphones. Really shines for games a few years old but can play modern games at lower settings at good frame rates. It is a full windows PC and does require setup like any desktop or laptop. Gaming on a PC can be a bit more advanced than consoles but this is well worth the tinkering.

The Asus ROG Ally is everything i expected. It runs better than the steam deck at higher fps with a better screen. However as expected with the power usage, the battery does not last as long.I will say that this is not meant for console gamers. This is basically a pc and this switching from s stea deck, xbox, switch, or Playstation will have a tough time figuring it out unless you know your way through a computer.

This has been great so far for playing my steam library. It has no problem playing even the AAA titles with ease and steady frame rates. Also, love that I can play Fortnite with friends on their consoles. I would suggest purchasing an external battery in case your not next to a plug. The battery tends to dry up quickly when running on full power. I wish this was around when I was a kid, but glad I can enjoy gaming as an adult again.

Bought and had item since day 1, Really love the device although the only issues i had was the sd card slot, i bought a internal ssd 2tb as a replacement. i rarely with much space left. I would give it 5 stars if there was not so many issues on launch. overall love the performance must buy , Due to the SD card issue i believe ASUS needs to reduce the item by 100 dollars.

Have to go with average on this one. The biggest problem with this version of the Rog Ally is the SD card problem. The SD card slot on this WILL FAIL and will have to be sent into the manufacturer to fix. Having said that you can upgrade the SSD which gives you enough space to play whatever your heart desires. The downsides to this are the joysticks, mostly, they feel weak and it feels like just blowing on them could make them go out of alignment. Just really weak springs. Gaming wise, it does a pretty decent job, the z-1 extreme version anyway. Balder's Gate 3, didn't have any issues when I got to act 3, if that says anything. Overall it's a nice device but I think the price needs to come down a bit on it.

I'm very happy with my decision to purchase this over the other handheld out there. Windows actually runs pretty well on here. Every game that I have played very well on the rog ally. The screen is great! Textures, colors, and brightness are all stellar. I like to play with it plugged in so I can keep it in performance mode, but even with it unplugged and on the go it runs great for a fair amount of time.

Very good handheld gaming PC. Very light and portable. The downsides are heat and battery.

This has some serious potential but has many flaws (probably due to it being a new product). There are major deadzones in the joysticks and the SD card reader did not work. The screen quality and overall gaming performance was better than expected though. I ended up returning the item due ti the deadzones and sd card issue though.

I love my rog Ally. It suits my needs fully. Highly suggested. I know it gets a bit of hate online but something to consider is that a lot of these people are serious gamers who want the same experience they get on their pc and at the moment thats just not possible, think how many expensive parts go into making a pc run that well then come back and compare it to a 700 dollar handheld pc. So far I’ve had no problem playing everything in my library, and I’ve been enjoying every minute of it because I got this for the ability to play whatever game I can get my hands on anywhere I’am unlike the steam deck which is forced to pretty much just running and launching steam games, I know there’s ways around this now but who wants to have to download and install programs to do what the Ally could do fresh out the box on a Steamdeck. Also size was a big selling point for me I wanted something that was portable and the steam deck and Lenovo go are just too big for me the ally is the perfect size fits well in my hands and does not weigh much, for me personally is comfortable. Now I know a lot of people are gonna get turned off by the battery life but a 65w power bank can fix this. Y’all need to keep in mind that this little handheld is really powerful and as a result the battery life takes a hit I don’t mind having power over battery as I’ve managed to fulfill my gaming needs on the go perfectly with this, I can get a full hour of gaming during my break at work and still have good amount of battery left so I’m satisfied! P.s storage is pretty low but It’s sooo easy to change for that it still gets a 5 from me!

Very handy device to own. I use it frequently as a mobile computer with keyboard and mouse accessories. Gaming on this is convenient and sufficient in performance depending on your settings and the type of game played. I use remote streaming play features with steam on my desktop computer and it works well. The one negative feedback is that my devices and card reader stopped working like many others having experienced, there are no real solutions and warranty repair is your only option, however it could happen again and again. I decided to purchase a USB split dongle so I can use a portable SSD to store extra games while playing and charging.

Haven’t touched my desktop since buying this. I get that most people would be horrified by this fact, asking “What the hell is wrong with you?” Weirdly enough, I’ve discovered that I MUCH prefer handhelds over sitting at my desk all day. Pros: Display is beautiful, runs pretty much every game (including Baldur’s Gate 3) at a decent or amazing framerate, and you can use any preferred game launcher besides Armory Crate — personally, I prefer Steam Big Picture. The RGB under the joysticks are customizable and pretty rad to look at, and since this is windows, you can install anything a gaming laptop can. Cons: the battery life is, frankly, abysmal, but personally it doesn’t bother me that much since I game in bed next to an outlet. Windows, more often than I’d like to admit, adds up small annoyances like the gamepad mode going in and out, windows updates at inconvenient times, and having useless applications like Microsoft Teams or Excel (for some reason) pre-installed. Also, Microsoft Edge. Also, for the price, it’s disappointing that a case isn’t included with the handheld itself. There’s also, strangely enough, no proper sleep mode. Overall, the cons I listed aren’t that big of deals to me; just something I hope are improved on in the future. This has still been an utter blast to play on, tweaking here and there aside.

Extremely powerful, great screen, battery life is impressive for the power, and very light. This is a perfect companion to my gaming pc.
